1st Tire rotation since the dealership put the Firestone Destination MT/2's on. 6,500 miles on them. No unusual wear. No cupping. I've run them hard.

Oh ok. I take it you did your own oil change? I got like one free oil change I think with my dealer so I’ll talk to them about what they use and if they’ll consider that but I dunno, I’m kind of having an issue with this factory oil myself so I’ll probably just start thinking about baby’s first oil change here real quick.

Maryland ain't much better. Even radar detectors are illegal there.

FYI, I believe it is Virginia where it is illegal, not MD.

Yup, once you swing it out, just lift straight up and it comes off the hinge pins. There's a place to put a padlock that prevents it from being removed as well if you need to.

Yea I am aware of that. And I am damn sure not coming to NJ. Farthest I ever want to go is Maryland. Lol.

I just want to be able to have it next to me. And when we get to states I can always put it in my travel trailer. I will have my safe with me.

Just to make sure you understand the rules in "The Free State." You may transport a legal firearm in MD, but the firearm and ammo have to be in separate locations in the vehicle.

Kinda defeats the purpose of carrying for self defense I know.

Yes you can. Most bed cover sit above the rails, so if you hard liner stops under the rail there will be no issue. Even if the liner goes over the rails, I have seen cover that will work with those also.

You may have a tough time fitting a bed cover with that wing on the tailgate.

The cover is not locked in stone the wing is however. I was looking at clearances and also if need be the end pieces will require modification if I decide to get a cover hence finding out prior so clearances and mods are done once. Future project so no rush besides I would first meet to look into a good enough bodyshop.

Ramjet, if that's a 1500 and you think it was EZPZ, you must have 2 elbows on the same arm. My 2500 is easy. My 1500 sucked booty to change filter

Well, I used a good filter wrench, and put the front end on jackstands. I am a 30 yr. T-38 aircraft mechanic (Retired). That may be why my elbows are so flexable. Ha Ha

Yea I did mine the other day and it was terrible. Oil goes everywhere. My 3rd gen I was able to make a cardboard funnel each time to make it a lot less messy and it’s really not possible on this one and be able to get to the filter.
I agree with messy. But I had read stories of people relocating the filter, and it just isn't that difficult. IMO
