Fixed my headlights... noticed output seemed to be getting worse wasnt sure the issue finally tracked it down to the bulbs being not seated properly...

Drivers side light was half the output of passanger and passanger was like 1/4 of what it should have been. Old setup with crap meter read around 750ish lux these were 250-280 lux pre fix and around 875 post fix.

I suggest anyone running a HID retrofit if output looks to be poor make sure the bulbs are seated correctly. Mine was only off about 1/8th to 1/4" and output was seriously diminished.

I was just noticing the zig-zag on cutoff on your driver's side light. Do you by any chance have TYC housings?

Super smooth and quiet. Handles beautifully. Drive about 14 miles mostly highway one way to work. Almost forgot that they are LT 10 ply tires........

Looking forward to hearing more on them. They look similar to the hankook dynapro atm my truck came with, which were pretty damn good. And for the price those nexens look even better. I've come to terms I need a tire more suited to the highway, and these seem to get great reviews, tho info is still hard to find.

Fingers crossed I get some of my **** in the garage sold and I can scoop up a set of these in 35s.

I actually did the cabin air filter hack after work today. Didn't take as long as I thought. I used a utility knife to do the cutting. Instead of the Mopar cabin air filter I went with an aftermarket Denso charcoal cabin air filter. Forgot to take pictures :(

Ok...I felt bad about it so I went out and took pictures.

I purchased them from Walmart.com. List online was 190 each. They had them on Rollback for 146 and then my associate discount took them down to 123 each. 100 for lifetime rotate & balance, service packs and Road Hazard.
So all in all I have about 600 wrapped up in the tires.
It is supposed to rain Saturday so hopefully I can get you some feedback on the wet handling.

You'll be surprised at how effective they are.

My wife's allergies are really bad so just a little of that crap floating around in the air does a number on her. She thinks that the filter in the truck does an excellent job and has said on numerous occasions she can tell the difference in the truck. Give it a few months and then check it to see, I bet you'll be surprised at the amount of stuff it captures.

I added the mod for the same reason. My wife’s allergies are bad in the spring mostly. I used a K&N reusable filter. I’ve only had it in for about 3 weeks but we can sure tell the difference.

Do you hit your firearm with your leg much? I had it centered under sterring wheel and turned up sideways on my last truck and have been debating on where to mount magnets on the new 2500?

That particular firearm is large bc of the mag size. With that being said my knee hovers just below it. Although it’s close it hasn’t given me any issues as of yet. With a smaller firearm you would have even more room so for me it works fine. I’m 5’ 8” for reference so your mileage may vary.
