Damn there’s that much of a difference between the two wheels?? Is it just the weight difference or width difference or something? That seems like a lot!I’m driving 1500 miles next week and the stock tires give me about 3mpg more. So I just switch a little early. But we have had snow on Halloween before.
And they are the carven 5in tips.

Are you saying you can't imagine living in an area where a real a vehicle security system is necessary (as opposed to the factory alarm that can be defeated easily)?
Yeah, I was on the fence about it until I started researching how often 5th Gen Rams get stolen and how easy it is for thieves to disable the horn. See this video of thieves disabling the horn so you can't hear the factory alarm when it goes off.
My area of town is pretty nice, but 2 or 3 times in the 15 years we've been here, our neighbors have had incidents where people were sopping around their vehicles at night. I have to park my truck in the driveway since it won't fit in my garage. This is the most expensive vehilcle I've ever had so I wanted a little extra piece of mind knowing that my ride will always be there in the morning.
Nice-looking truck. Well done. That looks the APEC Spot-Free Rinse System. If so, how do yo like it? I've been eyeing this for my garage. How long do the filters last?Wash, then clayed

Old post I know but my rear headrest will no longer lock upright. How did you remove the fabric to expose the structural portion of the rest? Thanks.I ordered the Borla S-Type exhaust system and I adjusted the rear headrests. I have had back seat passengers state that the angle of the headrest is not fully comfortable when in the full upright position. So I took the headrest apart and bent the support rods. Now, the headrest sits about an inch further back than original. Now they are comfortable to rest on!
i also have hard water and use this, even in the sun no water spotsIts a CR Spotless DIC-20 modded with the DiRinse double down conversion.
Double Down-Tube Kit - D.I. Rinse Water System
I cannot wash this truck without it, we have hard water in Frisco and the truck would start to dry leaving water spots before I could get around to drying it. With this, I can rinse and let it air dry with no spots but with dark paint, its really a must especially when it hot out. I do use it on my wifes XF or my Z06 as they are small enough that wash and dries go quick but this truck is just big.
I buy resin in bulk from DiRinse also Replacement DI Resin New mixed bed to deionize water for spot free car wash rinse.
Both cartridges are loaded with resin and I get about 10-15 washes from it before I start noticed that the resin is used up, the 40lb bag will last me about 3-4 cartridge refills so it last a while but that really depends on your water source.

I've also added a bypass so I can pre-wash and wash without using the Di water and not disconnect the system to bypass it, this helps to extend the resins life since I'm only rinsing with it and not using it 100% of the time

I use this in my garage. Have only used it a couple times, but works great. I will wash my truck with regular water and pressure washer. Then swap hoses on pressure washer and rinse with this. Have a Y-gate coming off spicket, and one of those collapsible hoses hooked to the DI filter so it stores easily and doesn't take up much space.Its a CR Spotless DIC-20 modded with the DiRinse double down conversion.

Nice-looking unit, like an RO system. I realize it depends on your water, but how many washes do you get from the cartridges before you have to change them?I use this in my garage.
