Kanati mud hogs. They’ve actually been great tires so far.

Oooh okay. Those have super similar tread patterns.

Haven't done anything but drive the Rebel. Need to rotate my tires soon, but this weekend gives me a chance to do some projects for the new house were building. Started off with building a new dining table. TV stand is next. I have $300 squirreled away for Rebel modding. Can't decide what's first.... Catch can, dry flow filter, muffler, good washing equipment, etc?? We'll see.

Wish I had enough for that and a ported tb.


Here's a pic of my table in progress. At least I hauled the wood with the Rebel!

Haha same here but I am not building tables. I am rebuilding my carport. Using my auto transport to go and pick up the materials. Went to the landfill with a loaded bed with singles, and trailer full of wood weighed in about 2,200 lbs. lol.

I love building stuff lol. Hard to beat the smell of sawdust
You I hate building stuff. I want to keep doing it but I hate it at the same time. I have spent less money rebuilding the carport then a company wanted to charge me to repair the roof. Oh did I mention I rebuilt the roof as well?

Economics is how most of us got to like doing everything ourselves. Cars, trucks, bathrooms, roofs, kitchen cost me 1/3 of what the lowest pro estimated. Did everything except the very pricey solid cherry crown moulding. Now I'm 59, got all the right tools and skills and I'm too tired. Sure did save a boatload of $$ over the years. Still doing vehicles but now time goes toward building AR's and reloading.

Not 1st, 2nd or 3rd? No Trophy!

I love doing my own work. Wife gets frustrated cause she gets stuck with the kids on my off days lol. But hey, spending $36 to do my plugs on my old 3rd gen saved me $540 lol.. That alone justifies doing anything I can by myself. If I can save more than $20, I usually do it if I can.

My tool collection has grown substantially since buying our home in 2009. I was not very handy back then but I have learned and continue to learn as I go. I've since already tackled building a custom wall to wall built in my kid's playroom, re-purposing old neglected furniture, building a 10' long table for our deck, building a 14' firepit area with wall stones, and other smaller tasks. I love doing things myself especially if it saves me money!

Speaking of which... just performed my first oil change on the Ram... went with Mobil 1 EP 5w-30 and Mobil 1 filter. Lots of other things I plan on doing in the near future... trans fluid/filter, transfer case, differentials, maybe power steering and coolant, serp belt and tensioner, spark plugs, etc, etc, etc.
