That’s classified lol. Trying to make it work with oem tailgate, need to redo those mounts and add some more bracing. I’m not convinced that it’s strong enough to support a 35” tire yet.
Didn't mean to blow up your spot with it but that's slick if it works out. I'll be keeping my eyes on you.

Haha all good I’m just messing around. I’m hoping it does, have a bit more work to do on it when I get time. I’ll post up some pics even if I don’t get it to work.

Drove from my home in MS to Houston TX to meet up with some friends and business partners, and the ole’ EcoD took good care of us... blurry pic inbound

Got ready to go out and see some family this evening, and found this:

Luckily, no real damage other than the window, and they missed pocket knives, cash and everything. They found my holster on the seat, but my pistol was on me [emoji41] Houston PD left me a note with info, and are working on the report. Looks like a new window in the future! Anyone got one around the Houston area?

Houston is a ********.

Please do, I'm sure you can get it to work with some creativity. I was looking into spare tire solutions myself, this 5'7" bed really requires getting thrifty, especially with a 35. I need to sort out a bed rack too, hauling my kayaks is a real pain in the **** right now and I'm not spending 1200 for a bed rack.

Just bought a new take off honeycomb grille to replace the slats on my Sport.
For $20


That's a steal!

off-topic, but I used to know a guy that went by DICE on a honda shadow forum. He was a nice guy.

Finally tracked down the dashboard metallic sounding rattle. Tightened every bolt/screw after using a small piece of floss wrapped around each one.

EDIT: For everyone that wonders why I posted this as a momentous event, it’s because it really is, second hand bath since I bought it... in August.

Walked out of my local Wawa and there is a guy my age just staring at my truck...He sees me and said he was beside me on the road driving in and had to ask me about the truck. He thought it was brand new. Told him it was a ‘17. He was amazed at how clean it was and how the paint was so perfect and glossy. Thats just an affirmation of taking good care of your vehicles!
Realling liking my new found hybrid wax...the detail was last weekend, and it had rained during this past week.

Started on my quad PJX bi led retrofit. Bought the oem projector replicas off eBay and baked them and tore them apart. Going to have to find some shrouds for the inner projector and then spend some time with the dremmel to make everything fit right. Not too bad so far though.

Fully debadged and de-stickered my 2500 CTD. I was going to put a fresh coat of wax on, but the adhesive they used on the B-pillar black tape? They could build the ******* space shuttle with that **** and never need a screw. My god. My arthritis gave up for me before I could scrub it all off so I just washed her and called it good.

Oh yeah, for those of you with debadging ideas? That huge Ram's head in the middle of the tailgate, just leave it. Unless, of course, you want to do a ****load of bodywork to fill in the holes and divot left behind. That cost me an hour and a roll of 3M double-sided tape. 6ae0be9d5021fc42b44a4fe4cfd28029.jpg34ba8dbd7619ed00bffc8f640ec43610.jpg

No intention to be snarky but can you actually find the stuff cheaper than a shop can do it? I've tried to price it out but it's hard to beat.

First time with my Ram in the garage. I cant believe that the wife would let me park there. It was actually her idea to put them both in there, she said "you have too much money invested in that thing its need to go in the garage from now on". They look so cute together!
