What did you do to your Ram today???

Wasted 20 bucks and a couple of hours washing it in the early Spring? It’s a fine waste of time, though.
I hear you. Just washed my truck last week for the first time in 5 months. Then drove to work a few days later. All was lost.

I'm impressed by your late spring snow piles, where do you live? 20220329_074212.jpg
 
Then you will never drive an Audi! Apparently the German engineers drink out of sippy cups. You can't fit many of the US sized bottles in any cup holder. Drives me crazy but its my wife's car so what the hell!
Yep, my bmw’s all had those add-on large mug holders that stuffed between the passenger seat and center console. I loathed those cup holders, but wanted to hold up an image of myself. I was so naive back then.

What is it with Germans and hating cup holders?? My Benz doesn’t have a single cup holder in it! I guess no one drank coffee in Germany 30 Years ago…🤣

I’m in Winnipeg and apparently this year was the 3rd highest snowfall on record. It just didn’t stop, and I know Canada has a rep for being cold in the winter but this year was brutal. -nice looking truck, if I were to do it again I think I’d go for that blue.
 
Scheduled a winter decontamination wash at the detail shop that did my ceramic coating. For the ceramic coat warranty I have to do at least an annual "maintenance" wash in it, and this counts. Plus they are supposed to get all the road salt from winter washed out of the nooks and crannies
 
Maxtrac 2/4 and 20x12s with 285/50 nittos
I was trying to figure out if I did lower my truck which kit I would go with, and yours convinced me. I think it will be interesting to see how these Maxtrac kits fare with time or if they fall apart after year or two like Belltech.
 
There is nothing to fall apart. It’s basically a spring and a strut

I was referring to the shocks failing prematurely. I’ve never had a Belltech last a satisfactory amount of time, and I’ve been using them since the early 2000s. They really crap out quickly when I pair them with air suspension that can lay the frame of the truck on the ground. All those cycles and holding the shock in a compressed position just doesn’t work for Beltechs.
 
I replaced my light bar with a Rigid Industries American made light. E Series pro 20" 120313.

This light makes a Chinese made 50" look under powered.

I'm afraid to turn it on the back roads now. This light is incredible.

Yep Rigid makes great lights. I have a single stack SR series(10 inch) version on my Ram and its brighter and has better pattern than my buddy's cheap double row 30 inch light.
 
Haha, it sure is. He’s parked to the right of Giant by the looks of it.

Yep. Stopped at fire house sub on way home from getting mulch.

Thought it looked familiar. Grew up in the area. Always nice to catch glimpses of “home” in the wild.

Chick-fil-A line,across the street, too long? I used to have a customer close to there.
That is by far the worst Chick-fil-A I have ever been to. I’ve never gotten food hot or quickly from there. McDonald’s near the Taco Bell on the Fox run side is also horrendous now.

Ahh. Well if my front shocks go out. I’ll most likely buy the belltech coil overs.

I’m guessing Eibachs from the fourth gen would fit. That’s probably a good option to consider also.
