Prepared for the incoming snow storm by getting rid of the crappy Cooper ATP tiers and getting some BFG KO2s installed this morning. Now to sit and wait for the snow to fly, then grab the camera and go play in the snow. :)

Had the dealership replace my passenger side manifold gasket and studs under warranty. I've had an annoying exhaust tick for the past 2-3k miles due to broken studs.

Installed a gun rack on the bottom side of the rear seat that allows me to store 2 long guns. Guns are completely hidden when the seat is down, flip the seat up and have easy access to them.

Finally got around to plasti dipping my front ram emblem. I've been running around with just the rear emblem done for a few weeks now. OCD finally got the best of me.

My Charger lives in the garage. The Ram? Sleeps outside. Currently getting snowed on. By the end of tomorrow, I'll have to plug the block heater in so the negative temps don't affect it too much overnight.

Installed new Falken Wildpeak AT tires yesterday at 25K miles. Probably could have gotten another 5K miles on the OEM Transforce AT's but with winter coming in, wanted a little more tread on the tires. Like them so far.

Installed 1.5" wheel spacers....better stance and rides great. I know some people hate these things but I wanted to keep my stock 20s, just push the tires out a bit. Looks better in my opinion.

There's zero problems with spacers/adapters if they are installed properly and not cheap junk. Pics later...no more sun today.

Surprisingly enough, the front left tire is rubbing slightly at full lock. I have a 2.5" level up front and only running 275 65 20s that are 34.3" tall. Wasn't expecting to hear any rubbing with this setup.

Waited for the temperature to hit below -30 to get around to installing my oil pan heater. Might not have feeling in my extremities but dammit I've got warm oil now :crazy:

Tuned in for pics ! Just make sure you tq check @ about 500 miles and anytime you rotate the tires , or anytime you have a wheel off .
I've ran 1.5 to 2" hub & Wheel centric spacers for about 160,000 miles ( 3 diff vehicles ) not one problem thus far .

Thanks, you bet. I torqued em down good with a dab of red loctite. Will def check on things after some miles.

A trip to YouTube about spacers would make you think you were going to die as soon as you pull out of the driveway. lol

Lol , it's all about proper installation and proper routine maintenance.
