What did you do to your Ram today???

I'm surprised they don't have something like that here in Montana. I think you can register as a farm vehicle and Insurance obviously as well, but no special plates (unless you are paying extra for cool looking plates). Thanks for the clarification! Are they any cheaper on the yearly renewal and such? For example, since I'm a disabled vet all my fees are waved after the first registration which is only 30% of the normal registration. Basically I pay $50 the first year I register a vehicle and nothing else.



Did you get your fender flares back on? I'm curious because I want to check the adhesive quality on mine because I know it's not the greatest and how you went about replacing it.
I'll have it on today! New double sided arriving today. I already have some, but I thought getting fresh would be better.
I used a tool for sticker remover, acetone, and a clay bar. I spent way too much time removing tar on the flares.
Ill try to get pics a little later today.
 
I added the matte black overlays for the doors to match the ones I installed on the giant tailgate letters. I never thought I would like vinyl overlays but I think they look pretty good.

In other news, mower to bolt to cab corner:

Ouch. My work had to pay to replace a window and have the entire drivers side of my last truck repainted due to a guy driving a zero turn mower through the parking lot with the blades engaged. He drove through a pile of gravel and peppered the entire drivers side with the gravel. Tons of white dots (paint chips) all over and a blown out window.
 
I finished my trip to Fla. 2600 mile round trip yesterday.
The new 1500 Big Horn 4x4 ran like a champ - 3.0 SO - 3.55 gears - pulled Apx 2500 lbs of M/C trailer and stuff.
Ran 70 - 85 mph - 16.9 mpg. Got a high of 18.5 mpg and low as 15.7 mpg. IMHO it was because of the fuel. I used reg unleaded - some states gas is/was better mpg than others, also some states at night they were running 80 mph+ so that made a difference too.
This 3.0 impressed me. Passed slower vehicles easily - over 3000 rpm it's a rocket ship.
The ride quality - awesome compared to my old 7.3 f-350 dinosaur.
Back up camera with a trailer - GREAT !! Where was this tech when I drove 18 wheelers? LOL
Warning system - GREAT - Adaptive cruise control -GREAT - except for the "richards" that cut in front of you when they pass.

Electronics worked fine except for the Nav - we differed on the best route. Sometimes it would drop the route.
Touch screen need more than a "touch" to work. I'll try cleaning it good and see.
All in all - so far I'm happy with it's performance and comfort.
