I spent $12 on a Car Wash, early Halloween Day
Honestly, it was filthy, now it sprinkles a bit each day, & dust turns into spotty dust

Parents tend to lean against my Ram while the children walk up to my garage door, i leave it open & the garage is well lit.
i sit just inside watching TV & pass out candy.
Parents can't see in the garage, unless they look over the Rams Hood or brush against the Rams grille & the neighbors 2500 GMC

Yeah I hear yah .... I always back into the garage and use the back up camera ...

If I pulled into the garage I could pull up "too far" then close the door and back up to the door. But I've got to have space along the back wall to get to the door.

Hang a ball from the rafters, have it bump against your rear sliding window or drivers door mirror

If I only had one vehicle and only used my garage for parking that's what I'd do. But I've got 2 lines painted on my floor. One to line up the back up camera on the car, another to place a wheel chock for the truck. I just stupidly thought I had it without the chock. Which I sorta did, but the driveline slack when I put it in park was enough to catch the door. Had I gave another inch of clearance or set the parking brake I would've been all set.

Older pictures, but shows my allowable space with the truck. You can see the blue "T" painted on the floor to line up the car. 20210128_101212.jpg20210128_101226.jpg

I saw mixed reviews on tuning it out vs opening the engine and doing a whole bunch of work? MDS is new to me so I have been doing the M8 method to let it not go into eco mode…i cant really tell a difference between the 2?

No difference as far obtained the same thing, it’s just a lot easier to get in and out of the truck and not have to put it in manual mode every single time, just put in drive and go , by just deleting it with the Diablo tuner. It’s surely beats tearing the engine open to delete it.

Ever get disproportionately excited about the dumbest Things?
Way beyond their Cost, Value, or even Utility?

The Great Omnipotent Amazonian God delivered yet another gift today!

For an insignificant financial Offering of $30, I was rewarded with a Gift far beyond any Expectations.
Not quite like winning that super powerball jackpot but, close, real close.

KOROP Car Door Cup Holder (1Pair) Fits for 2019 2022 Dodge Ram 1500 DT Foam Door Trim Cupholders




Had a set of these cup holders in my 4th Gen.
I never used them but most everyone else did and found them super handy.
Got lots of comments about the dumb things.


Once in situ, they sit just a tad bit below the lip of the door pocket but nice and snug fit.

Outside looks weird but that's so it will fit so snug in the door.
They go in the middle section or divider, along very bottom of the door.
Not what I would call Soft but not hard either

Just know they;re handy and people seem to like them.




cup012.jpg




Angled bottom for tight fit.

Right side,

Left Side

Picture that shows how much lower than the door pocket it sits. Still, works great for almost every sized container.

Thank You, Great Amazonian God!!!

Didn’t exactly like the black hood stripes on my Warlock so I changed them to silver metallic and did my tailgate also.

Built out of plywood box I could secure in very back to hold 12v fridge and portable propane grill, with room to spare. Made a cord to 12v fridge to go to 7pin 5th wheeler plug so always on...not sure that parts perm.......for now it works great, not done with design but worked for going to MS State vs. Auburn game last weekend at MS State. Tailgated with cold drinks, grilled burgers, tent and chairs to deal with misting but one heck of a game with overtime!

Put in Husky X Act liners in the Ram and Durango, they fit great, only problem is the label on the Ram driver side is going to bother me forever.

You get used to it. Speaking as someone who has the same floor mats in their rig and forgot what the model was til you showed it.

I installed some new strobes in the grille of my 2010, finally got around to doing the cabin air filter mod, land cleaned it just to get it dirty again the next day out burning slash piles with an Engine crew. Photos attached are just screenshots from some videos I got.

I added a tru-trac carrier in my former Dakota. Put it in at about the 12k mark and it left when sold (aug). All i did was add new bearings on the carrier, reused the ring gear, never distrurbed the pinion, used ring gear paint to verify OK. Bought the backlash tool necessary to adjust that. Tru-trac was my choice because it was really an open carrier (no clutches or friction gears to wear on and contaiminate fluid. Yet it would lock and hold, many trips down the drag strip. It was $400 in 2002 noe closed to $800. No snow so probably will not add it. Have spent a bunch of money on other stuff for the Ram in the past few months.
But the Dakota was my winter vehicle as the bike (which had seen a 8" snow fall in Potter County Pa.) was not used. As a result 90K of crap weather took its toll on the sheet metal. I hate rust, do NOT have the patience it takes to repair it correctly. So it got replaced by the new to me 16 Ram. Which will no loger see bad weather, As Rebecca & I will be back into the "winter rat" vehicle mode again.

Funny I was just "armoraling" the interior and just noticed them. Simply idea and they get great raves from Rebecca. That pocket would be useless without them.
