    My darkened taillights are once again bright red

    I previously posted about how I 'muted' my taillights with VHT Niteshade. Well, now I moved to Texas, and in Texas you have to get a yearly inspection and any kind of taillight tint will fail your inspection. (I'd like to say thank you to the quick thinking technician who alerted me to that...

    Last Pics Before I Get My Texas Plates

    I managed to make it across the country from the North Dakota/Minnesota border to Texas last week and my RAM was the trusty steed it always is. Got my Texas insurance, and my inspection and registration will be next, so this morning I went out for some Sunday Truck Therapy, got it all cleaned up...

    285 65 20 stock suspension and wheels

    For comparison's sake, this is mine on stock suspension. 22x12, -44 offset, 305/45R22. Only a slight rub at full turn.

    The Gator EFX hard tri-fold is pretty nice and comes out with the turn of several knobs. No tools. Bout 7-bills.

    Good Detailer / Waterless Wash

    I saw "favorite detailer" listed in the title of one of the pinned posts but all the responses seemed to be about waxes as versus "detailers" so I started this thread instead. Just wanted to mention this stuff I found at the AutoZone 7 blocks from my house. I was looking for something to help...

    Black Chrome or "Smoked" Chrome Accessories and Parts

    This might seem like an odd question, but has anybody ever seen "black chrome" or "smoked chrome" accessories and parts for RAM trucks? When I was a teenager, I met a guy that had a custom finish on his chopper that he described as "smoked chrome," and that's exactly what it looked like — a...

    The Magic of Dusk on a Paint Job

    As somebody who once fancied myself a hobbyist photographer, I'm ashamed to say it took me until this week to fully understand the magic dusk does to a paint job, even if you're just shooting it in your driveway after you got done mowing the lawn. :p

    Truck resale prices are crazy

    In truth I think most of these stories are either apocryphal or rare person-to-person sales. I don't know anybody making bundles selling their car on Autotrader.

    Truck resale prices are crazy

    I would gain $16,000 in my pocket in a multicar family, for one. No extra vehicle purchase needed.

    Truck resale prices are crazy

    I just saw a guy who had a truck very similar to mine, same model, 'bout 7 yrs old with custom wheels... sold it for $32k. I'm just sayin'... I love my truck but if you want it and you're willing to pay 32-thousand dollars for it, we can talk.

    Got a cartoon drawing of my truck done

    You can ask 'em to make "enhancements" too.

    Got a cartoon drawing of my truck done

    I found this place on Facebook and ordered a cartoon drawing of my truck, plus 8 bucks for the .psd file so I could do my own messing around. Pretty happy with what I got: This was the guide photo: and this is what I got:

    Hood corrosion on 2019 classic

    In my experience a body shop never orders the parts ahead of time because they have no guarantee the customer will show up. If you want the part to be there and ready to install, I would recommend you tell them and offer to pay a deposit beforehand. *Edit: just saw your update*

    2015 RAM 1500 Crew Cab exterior evolution

    I got a social media reminder yesterday that it was the three year anniversary of buying my RAM, which I've nicknamed 44 (XLIV). I looked through a folder of photographs and realized I have a pretty good assortment of photos that would work as a step-by-step appearance makeover. 1. Here it is...

    Has anybody dealt with this bumper Rust on a 4th Gen Express? Any recommended remedies aside from the body shop?
