Figured I make me one of these instead of updating my introduction thread.

-Stats-

Year: 2012
Model: Ram 1500 with tow package and 3.92 rear end
Color: Bright Red
Trim: Bighorn
Type: 4x2
Engine: 5.7L Hemi V8
Current MPG: 15-ish mpg city, highway is unknown as of now.
Food: 89 octane

Mods:
Husky liners
full exterior detail with Flynn's Detail Products, clayed and waxed
Bedliner (dealership install 10/4/12)
front driver and passanger side tint and front window bar tint (dealership install 10/04/12)
Ionic 3" nerf bars
Mopar splash guards
in channel Auto Vent Shades

Next mod(s): Bug/Stone guard for front, Silverstar fog light bulbs and back up lights bulbs

Future mods:
Only mods I have considered are brighter bulbs in the fogs and headlights, overhead bed lights, and back-up lights. All would be silverstars. Tires when the stock ones are ready to be changed. Will probably go with some mild AT tires like Bridgestone Dueler AT's in P-load, I learned my lesson with E-load tires...

I'm completely on the fence about any performance mods right now. I spent a good bit of $$$ on modding my previous vehicle. I'm thinking I'll probably just keep her bone stock, but who knows. I'll see how long I can fight the urge.

Performance mods I would probably do if I do decide to do any at all: 85mm TB, CAI, Mufflex 24", and a plug and play tuner like Superchips or Hypertech if they ever come out with one for the '11/12 model years.

First highway trip in my new Ram today. It was around 260 miles round trip. Didn't even burn half a tank of gas. Averaged about 19.5 mpgs. Going to, I had some head wind and I was climbing in elavation, coming back was just the opposite. All and all, a very comfortable ride and the Hemi feels like she has loosened up a little more now. Passing is a breeze. Very little throttle is needed to pass someone. I tried to keep the "eco" on as much as possible. Maybe when I get some extra $$$ I can get a ported throttle body from Moe's and possibly a 24'' Mufflex bolt on. I seriously doubt I'll do much more than that. Maybe a leveling kit if I need the need for a little more front end clearence.

Got my tag today. Never liked rolling around with a dealer tag. Anyway, they wanted $80 for the wildlife tag. F-that. Last I remembered they were like $40-50. Oh well, got the plain jane Georgia tag.

Ordered a front license plate. Chrome with a deer in the middle. Yeah, I'm redneck.
