Yeah I came out without a scratch thank God. Those winding gravel snow covered roads in Iowa. I was pulling a trailer to pick up a garden tractor. 1 min from my destination a sharp turn even with me driving like a turtle. Was slippery as shyt with trailer behind me. Pushed me into the ditch. The car worked wonderfully. Air bags deployed sos button worked. It really protected me well. Just big time sad ol girl is done for.

So happy to hear you're OK and the truck did what it was supposed to. This is why I moved to Florida from the Northeast

Installed LUYED LEDs so I can use the backup camera at night.
All of the info for this mod is found on this thread:

The difference is night and day (pun intended). Couldn't be happier with how it turned out.

And why I stay in Southern California and don't plan on towing anything!

I love the Tow Mirrors, I think they look great and make it easy to change lanes. The only negative would be driving in my garage, I need to retract because they are so big. I don’t have anything to tow either.

You will be happy with those tires (but I'm biased). What size did you go with?

Wow, glad the truck lived up to the IIHS Top Safety Plus standard that it recently earned. But more importantly, glad you're ok!!
You plan on getting another Ram 1500?

I am very sorry for your car and happy that you are ok. It is great to hear that Truck did his job, since I dry my family in it often I am glad to hear it!
Always better to have a totaled car and heathy body then the opposite! And on the bright side you can now shop for new one with all the insurance money!

Well, the joke is on me, my garage was built in 1988, when vehicles were smaller. I cannot fit a Ram in there. My 2001 Dodge Dakota fits with just enough room to squeeze behind it. It is just the club cab, not the crew cab. The Ram would stick out at least 1-1/2 feet. Imagine the sinking feeling in my gut knowing I'm signing on for years of scraping windows and extra UV, with an empty garage bay. But hey, I'll have motor retracting mirrors!!

Spends too much time on here
275/60/20. Resisted the temptation to go taller and wider, that's not to say the next set won't be
Yeah she did very well. I'm more inclined to. Looking at deals not sure if I could match the deal I got for her. Plus she had the lifetime warranty on her too. Which I can't get anymore.

Didn't do anything at all. I cleared the code but only to stop the engine light from yelling at me. Mine is currently at the dealer for this today.

Going to be able to recoup some of the unused warranty cost? I've done that twice in the past with significant success.Yeah she did very well. I'm more inclined to.

I had the same issue, built a carport just for my Ram. We have 3 cars so something was going to be outside anyway.

Looks really great. Similar to what I ordered, just red on the wings. Just waiting on mine to come in. Did you get the leather to cover the door handle inserts?So today I got katzkin installed. Really happy with how it turned out. Still looks a bit loose, but the installer told me that it'll tighten up. The truck was super hot inside so that the wrinkles will relax. Regardless I'm happy.
