Cooper HT plus. 275/60/20. Discount tire direct has huge sales going on. After all rebates I paid $410 to my door. Plus install costs at my tire Warehouse.

Its really amazing what these HDs can do. Barely even felt the sod. It probably weighed at least 2500 pounds. The 6.4 didn't even know it was back there. Very impressed with this truck

The truck looks great. I've been wondering about the ceramic coat. How long did it take and, if you don't mind, how much did it set you back? I'd like to get a ballpark figure so I know close to how much I'll need to set aside. (I realize cost will be different with each individual truck) My Ram is black (I bought it used) and the paint is in good shape. It will need some minor scuff & scratch work on the front bumper a little here and there but nothing bad. I'd like to preserve the paint; it's a 2012 and the previous owner took really good care of it.

Thanks man,
I absolutely love it, the paint feels like glass and water runs off of it. It cost me 1500 but I got the ultimate package which included wheel off detailing and treatment, windshield treatment as well as a 5 step full vehicle paint correction process. The paint correction is a MUST, otherwise you are dealing in scratches. If you go to get it quoted and the guy tells you otherwise I would suggest you find someone else to do it, it is that crucial.
With your truck being older and a dark color they will need to spend ALOT of time getting it corrected to put the ceramic coating on properly. I went with a coating called Kenzo by IGL coatings. The process took a few days because the correction process took a long time due to the amount of steps he did. The coating is a 7 year coating, so it's definitely an investment and I would not recommend going cheap on it. I know that's easy to say but the truck looks better than it did when it came off of the delivery truck, simply because there are ZERO micro swirls from washing etc. and the ceramic coating will keep it looking like this for a very long time

Used mine for car shopping the last couple of days for my 16 year old daughter. Looking like there may be a Jeep Wrangler in the family soon.:)

Those tires are awesome. I was on the fence between those and the ridge grapplers. How are you liking that borla compared to the FM?

That's awesome man. Sounds like something I would like. I don't want anything loud during idle but loud when you hit it.

Well the ole girl has just about 90k on her, so today was a maintenance day. I change the oil and filter (Redline 5w30 and Royal Purple filter), emptied the catch can, and changed out the plugs (Mopar LZFR5C11 Nickel).

Also detailed inside and out (engine bay as well). Took me about 6 hours, but well worth it.

Plugs looked pretty good after 30k, evenly worn and not burnt...probably could have gotten another 10k on them.
