Hi everyone,

New member here, but this is my 3rd Ram and I have to say it's soooooo nice to have a truck again.

So during high school I had a 98' 1500 Ram. Picked it up with 54K miles and drove that SOB until 2004, ending its journey with me at 92k miles. I gave the 98' to a buddy of mine who needed a vehicle at the time.

I upgraded to a brand new, (6 miles on it) 2004 1500 Quad Charcoal Gray and used it until 2013. This is when I made the horrible mistake of trying to please the wife and getting a convertible 2013 Camaro SS. I never felt right sitting/driving in that vehicle, but the wife loved it, soooo as most us here can verify, "Happy wife, Happy life!"

Finally, I got fed up with that sardine can 2 wks ago and traded it in for my 2014 Ram TM Crew Cab. Was a steal! 11k miles and ended up snagging it for 21k, down from 25k.

I already installed Ionic 5" Oval running bars from RBW (which im not happy with the way they sit, but they'll do....FOR NOW) and I JUST installed a Lund Bull Bar with light bar integrated. Also swapped out the Fog lights for LEDs... WORLD of a difference. Waiting on my headlight LEDs to arrive.

The picture attached was it's first bath on the 3rd day of having it. I'll post more soon of the bull bar installed.

Cheers!

Welcome to the forum.

Indeed it did for the first couple of days.... but I bought her a full-spa day; (massage, wine, hot tub, mani, pedi, and facial... plus a nice dinner and some adult time afterwards)

Happy wife again :D


I dont want to say I "took advantage of her mood", but rather, I "seized the opportunity" and spent $400 on accessories for my truck :happy107:
