What did you do to your Ram today???

Some extra light in the rear when I am loading the monsters would be nice at night.

I just got a uconnect update for my 2019 ram. When it finally finished it did not show me any details of what the update consisted of, even though I click on details. Anyone else get an update come across their 12" screen? What did it update, upgrade or change?

Yeah, the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence...until you actually live there for a while. After 10 years in AZ, I couldn't stand that place from April 1st to October 31st. Every freaking day is sunny and that annoys me to no end. We had a house in AZ and ID for 6 years. I did enjoy AZ in January/February, but other than that, I would much rather be in the woods of North Idaho.

Looks like you lived in the wrong part of Arizona

This is the first time I’ve used them for anything beyond tying down big cargo. I originally just installed the tie down points along the inner bedside then I realized I had a set of these hex rails laying around from my last truck that could attach to the tie downs so I cut them to length and installed them.

If you have ideas on how you are going to use the rails, I say go for it, if you just need some additional tie down points start with just those brackets. On their own they are pretty dang handy.

I’ve had these installed for about 2 years and this is literally the first time I’m actually using the rail for something other than a strap so…

Just installed 8 DeeZee tie downs. They're on sale at AmericanTrucks.com. Only issue i had was failures of the river nuts that came with the kit. Had 5 crimp up and not seat (fell out). Bought a crimp nut tool set from Amazon and using those M6 rivnuts rest of the installation went smooth.

I was curious though, how usedul are the hex rails, for occasional cargo stuff (once a month at most) is it worth getting those as well? Just curious your opinion.

Saturday set out to Death Valley for that once in 10,000 years opportunity to see Bad Water Basin flooded and turned into a lake. (Last time Bad Water Basin, the lowest point in North America at -284ft elevation, was a lake was 10,000 years ago. It's since dried up and turned into a salt flat)

One Ram, 2 White JL Rubi, and 1 Mitsubishi Montero (that Montero is crazy capable... tackled everything that's thrown at it: Black Bear Pass, Imogene, Engineer Pass, Alpine Loop, Diablo Dropoff, etc. Next up for the Monty is probably Alaska)


The little dots are the tourists at the official Bad Water Basin Parking Lot.


Next day on the way out got stuck at some traffic control zone. Perfect time for a picture I guess. And the only shot of the truck after replacing my Squadrons with the XL Racers.

Not a whole lot of pictures of the truck this time because my left ankle's old injury returned. I could barely walk or stand since Friday, but for this once in a life time experience I said screw my ankle and went for it lol
And today (Monday) it got worse so I had to call off work.

don't know when the next one's happening but it's still there now.

go this coming weekend! whatever is happening for you this weekend is not as important as something that happens once in 10,000 years!

 

[PurpleRT]

I still on planning on being here 10,000 years from now lol. If only it wasn’t so far from Florida lol.

Finally put my NightRider lights on. These lights really shine a long distance. View attachment 174177 View attachment 174176

I'm liking those. Can I (or "we") see a side shot of that set up? How far do those stick out? And no affect of the front sensors?

There's really not a right part of AZ for me. Flagstaff is the best as far as climate goes, but no lakes.

No link as I bought them locally at a automotive accessory shop my daughter in law manages but any truck shop should have them. View attachment 174212

Would you say these could go through a car wash? Or would you think the brushes would pull this off?

you just gotta take a long drive to lake havasu to see all the college girls.

good rule of thumb is if you have anything that you mount externally, don't even think about taking it through a car wash.

 

[boogielander]

There's plenty of that here and it takes me less than 5 minutes to get there.

I'll take South East Arizona over Flagstaff and it's snow storms. Phoenix and Tucson are what most people think about when I say we live in Arizona. We're very happy with our choice of retirement home.

Spent the weekend in South Bend for a hockey tourn. My big *** didn’t fit in the normal garage so parked in the remote lot. I thought the wall art was cool.

What wheels are you running now? I’m really liking that style. Similar to the Laramie 22’s but in 20’s.

Do you not have the puddle lamps in your mirrors?

I do but I wish they were brighter and besides it looks much nicer too now

 

[Asahdev17]

It’s wonderful I was gonna wait till I got the funds for the carbon paddles but this looks so good. I love it personally and the heated is so good

What's the difference between 4.0 and 5.0 that you didn't grab the 5.0?

I have an iPhone but my wife has all her music on an Android phone. The 5.0 works better with iOS as our units are Apple CarPlay but 4.0 is better with Android. As the latency is basically negligible for iOS from 4.0 to 5.0 I didn’t feel the need to go to the 5.0 Air. Besides, the 4.0 was on sale so a better deal.
