Stupid truck Question of the day...

[mohemipar]

If the truck has the offroad package you get Transforce AT’s. Mine came with them. I don’t think they are too bad from what I heard but I sold mine.

Damn $88K for a truck??
I’d never pay that for a truck.
I can get a decent house or 2 for that.

First things first...yes I am one of those who just about immediately changed out tires. Have a '17 2500 that came with the Firestone tires, not an impressive tire to say the least.

But now I must apologize for adding to my post for talking about something that is not meant to take it off track. McBroom's post put a smile on my face in regards to his comment about getting a house or 2 for 88K. Having worked for the federal government in law enforcement (retired now) I got to live in a couple of places. That gave me the opportunity to witness the vast spread of housing costs. I could only wish that $88k applied to me now. My last assignment took me to NYC and now live in NJ about 30 miles away. A building lot ( half acre is needed ) costs $350K-$450K. My taxes on my 3000sq.ft house on that half acre are $18K a year......................sorry for the diversion. But thanks for the memories of lower housing costs

**** I’m glad I live in Texas. I gave 115K for my brick 2000 sq ft 3 bedroom 1.5 bath on 3.5 acres. I’ve got a 2 car carport 2 brick shop buildings and an RV carport.
As a veteran I pay $0 in property taxes

No but I did some training there in 1990.

I'm willing to bet most people don't use 4wd on their trucks at all.

Ford ordered the wrong tire for the Explorers and Firestone tried to pass off old rubber to build those tires.

And don’t forget the extremely relaxed gun laws too

-Hot weather is OK with me, its the snow that will get you.

-If you went through Quantico in 1990 we could have crossed paths, I was frequently there on TDY.

- Relaxed carry laws....if you thought housing costs were insane you should only see the carry laws. In NJ a firearm is defined as anything capable of shooting a projectile by for force/explosion. That means you NEED a permit to buy a PELLET GUN or a PAINTBALL GUN. In NY, where it is next to impossible to get a gun permit. carrying a weapon without a permit is a MANDATORY 1 year sentence. As a retired federal agent I need a permit, qualify every year, get finger printed and investigated by NJ State Police and the local department

I studied different gun laws in the US as a Concealed Carry Instructor. NY NJ Hawaii are among the worst.
It’s very possible that we’ve met before. I went through an advanced ****** school there my instructor was
Gunny Hathcock
After that course I went straight to desert shield/storm. And very shortly after I went to Mogadishu.

SEMPER FI

What do y’all think about this??

What’s your thoughts if Ram got into the Baja circuit with the Ram Rebel TRX concept truck and sponsored by PUP?
I think it’d be friggin awesome

Why do the fog lights go off when I put my headlights on bright?

It’s the law

 

[Hookie]

I didn't know that. I learned something new today.

Fog lights are designed to light the roadway in fog. They are placed low to the ground where they can light the roadway, getting "under" the fog, without being reflected by the fog back into the driver's face. For the same reason, if drivers take any kind of formal driver training, they will also learn to use low beams in fog for the very same reason. No one is ever advised to use high beams in fog because it reduces the ability to see the roadway. The design of the lighting system is connected to proper and effective use.

 

[Hookie]

I still don't see what's wrong with running the fog lights when using high beam. but it is what it is i guess.

 

[Pull Ya]

I'm lucky enough to be able to stay home till the fog lifts, so I don't have to worry about all that stuff-----LOL

There wouldn't be anything "wrong" if you could figure out a way to put them on. It's just that it isn't anything close to reasonable to expect the manufacturer to create a way to defeat the primary purpose of fog lights. "Primary" is maybe a key word here.
