Wow, plowing wait are still talking about snow? The rig looks like it did just fine.

 

Holy chit. That’s nuts!

 

Good list! Why the bedrug/line x removal?

 

I think he's removing the bed rug and replacing it with linex.

 

Great looking rigs! Welcome

 

That makes more sense! Not enough coffee this morning!

 

Welcome to the clan!

 

Totally understand! I initially thought the same thing!

 

I'm just removing the bed rug and replacing it with Linex if it doesn't have it already.

 

Got it. I have both. The bedrug is a huge knee saver if you find yourself having to crawl around back there.

 

I also have the factory spray in liner and a bed rug. The bed rug is very nice on the knees and makes me feel better about throwing my expensive fishing gear back there.

 

Ah good to know. My concern was with the rains here etc but I do have a bed cover and read that the material is water resistant. I'll also be adding Molle panels and gear. I'll have to see how she looks when it arrives.

 

How do we feel about bronze method 701s on black? I've always had black wheels and wanted to try something new.

 

Pretty good. Search for the bronze wheel picture thread and you should find plenty of photos to reference.

 

I have the 701s on my 21 MGM. I also wanted to do something other than black. They’re a much lighter bronze in person than I was anticipating- almost gold. That said, they have grown on me. I color matched the TOYOTA on my pro grill insert to tie the rims in more. I will say having the bronze really made me want to dechrome everything faster than I anticipated. TRD Pro headlights and color matched smart entry door handles were on my list but got bumped up. Something about the chrome and bronze ate at me. As soon as the weather gets warmer I’ll be blacking out the Platinum badge and GoRhino badge on the RB20s.

 

Looks great! Thanks for the pics

 

Other than a few chimes, the truck didn’t care no fob was in range. I could even put it in park and then back to D to continue driving.

I love the bronze look. It looks good on all the normal colors, at least from what Ive seen so far.

 

My buddy just drove about an hour away after remote starting his RAM. Turn the truck off at his destination, realized he didn’t have his fob when he tried to lock the truck and obviously it wouldn’t start back up without it. Had to borrow a vehicle to return home, then come back with the fob. Pretty annoying.

 

Thanks! Going to test what happens with my wife’s Subaru.

 

Toyota and Ram need to have their engineers drive their trucks in real life. Especially if they have miniature brain wave jammers (kids).

My F150 was perfect. Didn’t matter what you used to start (push button or fob), if you put your foot on the brake (to take the tranny out if park) and the fob wasn’t in the truck, it shut off. Done.

 

Yes, that's how my Denali was, as well. As soon as you pressed the brake pedal, engine shut off.

 

That’s how my aftermarket system works in my truck.

 

Seems that if they can program the truck to turn off after 10 minutes of remote start, shutoff when a door in unlocked, and time out after 1 hour at idle they could program it to shutoff without the fob.

 

No better door knock than the delivery driver.

 

Ain’t that the truth. Rear under seat storage?

 

Yep exactly what it is.

 

Some pics from wenatchee today. Somewhere in the 22” range fell last night.

 

Damn! I have not operated a snowblower since about 1996. Can’t say I miss it!

 

I usually only use the snowblower once or twice a year. This year it has gotten a workout. Some day I’ll be somewhere sunny and warm without an aching back lol
