Good to know and that's a good idea of having it included with insurance.

Camping season in the Pacific Northwest is over ( well, for mostly fair weather campers anyway! ), so I took the roof top tent off the truck.
I got a Harken brand cargo hoist from Amazon that's rated for 200lbs. ( Harken model 7806 )
The tent ( 23 Zero Kabari hard shell ) is 175lb.
Measuring and getting everything aligned and figuring out where to put it took most of the time ( garage door opener to avoid, light fixtures to avoid etc )
Other than that it worked well and it's nicely up and out of the way and will be easy to put on when needed again.
I think I'm going to put a ratchet tie-down strap around it as well, "just in case" !

I have used them on my trucks since they came out. Don't get the warrantied mileage from them as I have 1 1/2 miles of dirt road covered with crushed rock that eats the rubber away. They are great in the snow, quiet and a very good tire for my use.

Great feeling! I just paid off my wife’s car and I have 7 payments left on my Limited.
We all know that’s your bug and your wife’s limited. No need to hide who wears the pants in the relationship.

A little late, but the last two days I put a Tyger roll up tonneau cover and Air Lyft 1000HD's on my Big Horn. Getting kinda ruff on this old 65 year old body to be crawling around under rigs like I used to.
I've often thought I'd like to have a little convertible, but wife says she'd rather have a camper. So okay, similar price, I'll work on that...We all know that’s your bug and your wife’s limited. No need to hide who wears the pants in the relationship.
Did you already have the lane keep and auto park stuff? Or did that go in with the surround cam?
So I’m thinking the same as you kinda, I essentially have 1 mod left. (<—
who says crap like that!?) but I’m about to do the mirror glass to finish my blind spot add, and these look pretty damn cool. And if you guys are saying they are plug n play and they work well, I also might as well do them when I have the mirrors open.I coulda swornt someone posted a CrAmazon link a while back but I can’t seem to shake it outta the thread. you (or anyone) got a link to the actual ones you’re using??
Looks like they have a couple different versions nowz and the prices are going down.So I’m thinking the same as you kinda, I essentially have 1 mod left. (<—

No, I added all that a little over a year ago.
thanks! almost easier when you can only pick one. when there's choices its more of a crap shoot. like the cheapest ones have only one Ram review and it was that they didn't work. And they guy said "sucks because i disassembled both mirrors to do this and couldn't get them to work." i'd hate to have that happen too, so i'll probly go with the ones you got.

Completely broke down out of nowhere just driving down the road.
Effectively brand new 2022 with 5,800miles.
Engine died/shutoff so I coasted to a stop. Every light on the dash came on. Shut it down, checked the oil/engine whatever - nothing leaking. Didn’t see anything obviously wrong with it… tried to start it up - wouldn’t start and honestly made a horrible metallic noise that made me cringgge.
No idea what’s wrong with it. Just towed to the nearest dealer. Hopefully they’ll get to it at some point Monday…

2022 1500 Laramie 4x4 5.7L
Basically fully loaded, been shopping around forever and if it’s not my “dream truck” it’s pretty close.
3.92 anti-spin diff, 33gal, pano sunroof, color matched bumpers, Harmon kardon, heated/cooled seats… etc etc
Just put on those 18” method wheels and 33 nitton grapplers and borla ATAK exhaust.
Drove from IN to TX to NH already and it’s been amazing so far.
Praying for the best but ****tt I didn’t sound good
