What Did You Do With Your TRX (or Other Ram) Today?

Yes sorry about the °c vs F° .. what throws me off is that 32°f is 0°c .. then like @quietpeen said 40 is the same.. does anyone have a heated shops to work on trucks .. I can fit cars but my truck.. not a chance, rent a bay I'll do if necessary but otherwise it can wait till above 32°f

I don’t have a heated shop but i use a propane heater for some stuff. I am also not close to you lol.

Not very many people are close to us.. we have about 20,000 people in this area and 80% of them can't wait to get out of here .. LOL

Just drove it to run errands, but one of those errands was to get a quote to have the oem hood decal installed.

Lol. I don’t blame them one bit. Might as well join the rest of the US and move to Arizona! It’s crazy to see the amount of houses being put up here

Generally.. way more south..but for those of us that like fishing hunting and anything outdoors.. we'll dress for the -40s instead of being cooped up. The only other thing that keeps some disgruntled people here is the money and most of those have properties down south somewhere that they'll retire too. but @tinman454 said is best..

Did the quote come in at a fair price or are prices getting higher then expected that would be mostly labour .. say about an hours work.

Quote came in for 1 hour of labor which is 75 bucks. I didn’t think that was horrible. It’s a big decal that has to be wet applied.

I got my license tag this week. Last year it was pink, so I was looking forward to any other color.

It's lime green now.

Today, my $380 hard tonneau cover showed up for my 2003 Dodge Ram. A while back, I finally found the perfect ladder for environmental inspections. But it was expensive and I worry about it staying in the back of my work truck. I so I decided to get a hard tonneau cover. I love the BakFlip cover I put on our 2021 Laramie. But I'm not spending that kind of money on my work truck. So I got one of those cheap ones off Amazon. And ya' know, it doesn't look half bad.

I already have a locking tailgate latch, so this should at least keep an honest or lazy thief out.

And if it keeps the bed sort of dry, I may start keeping my testing equipment and "go-bag" in the bed. We will see.

Thanks. I will have had her 20 years in November. Only rust is just some medium speckling on the original exhaust pipe. Besides being number one in the US for unwed teenage mothers, Arkansas has some other advantages as well. We normally only need road salt (salt/sand mixture) once or twice a year.
