I'm still debating on debadging the rest of the truck.

Debadging makes it look so much cleaner. With a great custom badge like you’ve got on your tailgate why would you want any other badging taking away from it

Got new shoes a few weeks ago. Went from Toyo A/TIIs (305/55/20) to Nitto Ridge Grappler (35x12.50R20). Was hoping to get Toyo A/TIIIs, but they have been on national back order since October.

The tire shop let me know they couldn't do my alignment because the upper and lower ball joints on the driver's side were bad. Earlier this week I changed them in front of my house. The JBA UCA were very easy being a "bolt in" application. The MOPAR LCA was a different story. Mine had been replaced prior to my ownership with the Moog "problem causer" ball joint that simply did not want to release from the spindle. I ended up cutting the bolt down making it shorter then MacGyvering a ball joint tool from Advance Auto so it would fit. I found out they don't rent tools anymore here because of COVID (nor would they let me buy it outright) so I ended up going to Harbor Freight and picking up a ball joint press (Maddox tool line) for far less than what it would have cost me at Advance Auto. Made easy work of pressing the Moog ball joint out and getting the replacement ball joint in. The Moog ball joint was so far gone I was able to wiggle it around with my finger. Today I decided to do the passenger side upper and lower ball joints since the weather was nice. Didn't take near as long and the lower ball joint on the passenger side was still the factory original. Made it 240k miles. Glad I changed it because it was loose, just not as bad as the Moog.

Got ready to take it for a drive then I get the dreaded P0463 code and "low fuel" warning which I knew was wrong because I had 3/4 of a tank. I have an appointment to get it fixed tomorrow so I'm hoping not to get "bent over" on the cost. Guess at 240k certain electronics are bound to start failing. Guess the only bonus was the new tools I got to make this easier...including a 4 1/2" angle grinder/cutting tool.

The Ridge Grapplers are good tires and are wearing good for me. I've got about 24K miles on mine and they look like they've still got a lot of tread on them. My BFG KO2's only lasted me 30K miles, but they did a lot better in the snow then the Ridge Grapplers. I wear out tires like a 2500 or 3500 with the weight I carry in my 1500 all the time. If I didn't carry about 900 lbs of tools and equipment all the time for work I'm sure I would probably get 70K miles out of them easily.

Had KO2s as well. Went thru two sets on my Titan. 1st set was great. Second set...not so much. I caught a break on my fuel pump/sending unit. My service advisor reminded me they installed it last November so it was still under warranty. Was not looking forward to spending $$$$ on that!

My fuel pump/sending unit was replaced twice in one week. They replaced the first one and a half mile away from the stealership the new one failed. I immediately returned and they replaced it again.

Have been super busy with work so haven't had time to produce a video but finally got one out today.
This is the unboxing and install of the NEW projector LED fog lights.

Enjoy, and thanks for all that have supported me.

Are we going to have to use a cattle prod to keep you motivated enough to make those videos?

Went to see how bad the camp grounds that we go to were from the fires. It was a mix of just underbrush you can see where some of the trees bent

20201128_123522.jpg

To whole sections burned up

Both sites the fire came up to the edges but did not burn the whole site.

Oh yeah, pulled out a park ranger in a jeep from a snow drift, he lost momentum when the front started to plow

I purchased this a few weeks ago and it just arrived today. Purchased it for the rear grill bracket, the grill core and the Ram letters to use for my Ram, I have no use for other parts. Now I can get my white one installed!

Got my 35x12.5 A/T III's in late September...…..
