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

[Griffin]

Got our Laramie back from the body shop after hail damage from last month. They did a great job. But in the meantime, my wife has started looking at new Limiteds. So I figure it won't be long until we will be trading again.

Pretty clean looking ride there my friend. How bad was the hail damage?

Pretty clean looking ride there my friend. How bad was the hail damage?

It had over 100 little marble-size dents on it. They got them all out with paintless dent removal. The only thing that had to be replaced was some of the chrome around the windows. The bill was approx. $5,600. My insurance company ponied up $5,100 and I covered the $500 deductible. I am very pleased. You cannot tell at all. My only complaint is that they pressed too hard when installing one of the chrome pieces. But I had to look very hard to tell.

I was working on something on my PC at home with the hail came, so I didn't see the warning on the news. I heard it started hitting the roof, so I grabbed a bunch of blankets and headed out the door to save the Laramie. But my wife grabbed me. And thank goodness she did. It was golf ball size hail and came down hard for almost 5 minutes. I likely wouldn't have made it if I ran out into that unprotected. And sadly, the Laramie was in the worst place with no pine tree limbs overhead to protect it. My old green Dodge Ram took a few "new hits" on the hood, but it's not too bad. The Charger, Avalon, PT Convertible and my son's Ram did okay. It was the Laramie that got the brunt of it.

That’s awesome. Gotta love having insurance when something like this happens. Without the insurance covering that amount, most people would just learn to live with the dents. Was there a tornado that was during the time of the hail or just a wicked storm?

It was just hail, which is very unusual where I live. And after five minutes, it really didn't stop. It just moved on. And the sound was deafening, as we could hear it hitting everything in the next neighborhood over after it stopped in ours.

Hail is crazy to me on how comes down so quick and does so much damage. We get it here in Phoenix every once in awhile too (usually summer during monsoon season) and it always seems be the same size as what you described that hit your truck. Doesn’t last very long either but does some serious damage

Switched to the UPR catch can and also insulated the hoses. Sick of having to empty the JLT catch can constantly in the winter. Condensation from hell.

Hey there is someone at BT that will disagree with you . I have a BT but I am not brand loyal. I reused it from my Charger 392 but can‘t come up with any complaints.

There are some ebay catch can companies that do too, dont mean they are correct lol

BT makes some solid products too. I can't bash them. I just know how good UPR products really are. They are daily and track proven products.

After few days off sand storm…. Decided to give the TRX a proper wash. Lasted an hour…. And drove into another sand storm

Haven’t dealt with that, but have washed a vehicle to then drive in rain right after

Met my sweetie at Sams after work for some groceries.

I wish I could say I installed a bed step, however I had a buddy buy it for me off marketplace but we have not been able to get together yet so it’s in his trunk. One day it will happen.

The factory one? It’s a lifesaver.

Yup the factory one. My Rebel had it and it was definitely nice.

Rotated the tires and gave them a good clean. Followed by ceramic spray in the barrels.

Also washed the rest of the truck and then drove around like a complete irresponsible ape to make sure there were no balance issues.

 

[BlackGold6.4]

WOW.. very sharp looking

 

[quietpeen]

very nice. I really did like those wheels, just wish they had less backspacing. However factory will never have the backspacing I like.

Picked Up The TRX after some customising work graphics and new badges on the side and grill. Tow hooks rear and front painted as well.
