I have a new favorite phrase. Luggage toter. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk

Clearly not stock. They look like round rigid flush mount duallys. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk

I wonder if the guy in the red compact looked so annoyed because he was stuck in traffic, or because he realized his girlfriend fell in love with the guy driving the gray Ram. Anyone know what lights were in the rear bumper of the Ram?

Matt are you missing the d/s rear wheel or is it just buried in the mud? Either way that looks like a bad day. That dude's truck and trailer combo sure put the whole gvwr/srw/DRW debate to bed. That should be the new benchmark. Just link to that picture whenever the question of will an SRW...

Please aim your shotguns. 00 buck does not produce a wide cloud of pellets that harmlessly dissipate if they miss their target. It's a tight group of pellets the size of .38 rounds that will rip through RV walls like paper.

You'll need to find out if your state regulates rvs as commercial vehicles. California exempts rvs as commercial so weight ratings don't necessarily apply. In my state there is no legal/illegal about making a 2500 into a 3500. As long as the vehicle is not "unsafe" it's good to go. Your state...

Several ranges in my area rent guns to shoot, and that's in California. Call around to the local target shooting ranges or even gun stores and ask about rentals. It's been forever since I rented a gun but it was like $5 an hour back then. I can't imagine a gun rental would cost too much. The...

Bob, I am by no means a Glock expert. I only recently made the switch. My next handgun will be a G26, since I carry the G34 as my duty weapon. I like the idea of one common magazine from my belt fitting either gun. I don't know anything about the barrel switch, though. I personally...

Re: Love affair beginning to wain What is the required maintenence on a toilet seal? Since I'm looking at the same trailer I'm curious what I'll need to do with the toilet and how often. Sorry you're having trouble. Your experience seems to be the exact opposite of Heartlands biggest selling...

I wonder if that is for newly ordered cars, or if we have to foot the bill to repaint all of the fleet? That's going to be an interesting question about what color contract city cars are? If the Sheriff is providing LE, in a municipal city, do they need tan cars? I wish the feds would stick...

That is what sold me originally on the B&W. At least the ram prep kit offers similar empty functionality. Hopefully the ram prep kit was a good choice. If nothing else it will give me more variety in hitches. Not that there is anything wrong with the companion. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747...

I had the same discussion with them a few months ago. I decided at that time to order the prep on the ram since I'd have to replace all my B&W parts anyway. Personally I think ram missed the boat spreading the holes so far apart. Ford used much closer spacing so a hitch aline can cover the...

The trunk doesn't count? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk

I would be very careful carrying something as a weapon that was not intended to be a weapon. There is a big difference between a weapon of opportunity and carrying poison with the intention of using it for self defense. You may be perfectly legal in your state carrying wasp spray as mugger...

I'm still not sure. The Curt is $250 less on Amazon than the Reese. I like the release handle of the Reese. I'm just not sure that the handle and nicer looking hitch is worth the extra $250 to me. I thought about not ordering the prep kit, but in the long run, I think it will be better. By...

The problem is that as trucks got bigger, the laws didn't keep up. Once upon a time, one tons were under 11,500 pounds. I agree, I doubt anyone in a plain old one ton will get stopped rolling by the scales. Especially SRW one tons. When I talked to some CHP commercial officers recently they...

Dave, your operative section of the vehicle code in CA will be VC 34601(G). When you are towing an RV, you are NOT a commercial vehicle. As long as you meet all the licensing requirements of your home state, you will not have any problems. Come enjoy our beautiful state. RVers rarely attract...

We plan to retire out of state someday. I've got at least 13 years and she has a few more than that. I think as soon as we push the youngest out the door on his way to college we will load up the moving vans and head for Montana or Idaho. I've had it up to my ears with CA rules, regs, fees...

Bill, this does nothing to change our reg fees. We are still going to pay out the ying yang for our one tons. The only thing we get to avoid is the MCP fee, and all the headaches associated with it (Insurance, CHP Terminal Inspections, CA numbers/DOT Numbers). The people that will really...

Customer service is my most important issue. I realize that as soon as human hands are involved in the process, failure is an option. What a company does when the failure occurs will make or break my perception of that company. This is one of the deciding factors in my decision to seek out a...

I wasn't quite sure if I should post this in General or Tow Vehicles, so I'll just leave it right here. Two new laws in California just made it possible for every private DRW and soon, HDT truck owner to avoid the Motor Carrier Permit (CA Numbers on the truck) process. First a little...

Good point. I've never towed in snow. If that were me I'd have been chained up at least. I guess my surprise over seeing such a tiny truck hauling that trailer got me thinking it may have contributed to the loss of control in some manner. It was less about the SRW and more about the lack of...

I'm wondering why the transport company sent such a small truck to pull that trailer. That looked like a late 90s Ford SRW. I'd be surprised if that truck had a tow rating anywhere close to even the dry weight of the road warrior. I'd like to think a properly equipped truck wouldn't have ended...

I just wanted to offer encouragement that if you do buy a new truck don't let the dually intimidate you. I understand the desire to not buy something new. We've had a dually for almost ten years. In my experience the width has never been a problem. If I've had to pass up a parking spot it was...

Thank you for the responses. It's nice to know that one hitch doesn't necessarily oppression the other. The big take away is the recommendation for a pin box. Looks like I'll order up a trail air when I get the trailer. Vinny- The 5th wheel prep is in essence ram's version of the B&W. None of...

I think I've narrowed my fifth wheel hitch choices down to the Reese R20 or the Curt Q24. It looks like both Hitches have solar features. Both will work with my intended Cyclone (18k gvwr). I'm having trouble finding good a way to decide which one to get. The Curt is a little less expensive...

I'm big fan of the Enforcer king pin lock. It's much tougher to compromise than the average king pin lock. It isn't about making something impossible to steal, it's about making it less attractive than the other one. Sadly the thieves are going to steal, those drugs won't pay for themselves...

Re: Ram Won't Start It's a relief to know it was something as simple as a battery. Having the same remote start system in my Jeep and Ram truck, I was keeping an eye on this thread. Thanks for posting the resolution, too.

Al, your advice and assistance has been very helpful. I think it's funny that our truck, trailer and even KTM motorcycle choices are very similar. It's like standing on the shoulders of giants, as they say. It's good to know that the frames haven't changed between the trucks so that I can use...

Thank you! I'm just over the hill in Auburn. I tossed around trying to find a deal on a '13, but ran into problems finding exactly what I wanted. Everything was a matter of settling on options I didn't want, or not getting something I wanted. The big one was a 4.10 diff. Very few dealer...

The 3500 I just ordered is rated to carry 5500 pounds in the bed. I will hereby refer to it as a deuce and a half. :cool:

Re: Ram Won't Start There should be a code associated with the reason for the remote start being disabled. There are five or six criteria that the computer checks, like doors locked, 1/4 tank of fuel, hood closed, etc. Did you unlock the doors with the key or with the remote fob? It may be...

Al, Have you seen these grills? http://www.royaltycore.com/dodge-ram-25003500-2013-rcx-main-grille-with-LEDs I'm not sure if the style is everyone's taste, but a few companies have grills that are similar. I could do without the big emblem and rivets look. I've seen one that uses a 20" LED...

Is it bad that I keep "shopping" and looking at pictures of the interior? This is going to be a long eight weeks. I thought about going with the 3.73, but decided I really wanted the pull of the 4.10. I'll post up pictures as soon as I can. I too thought about waiting for the factory air. I...

We are one step closer to getting our new rig. The family trekked down to the Dodge dealer and looked at the different interior colors on the '14 Rams today. As soon as my wife sat in the longhorn with cattle brown seats she was sold. When we got home we went over the color choices and settled...

I took up flying rc planes in college. I tried my hand at the helicopters. I tried the computer rc Sims and trainers. Planes were much more my speed. Haha. What a fun hobby. Nothing like melting the stress of a long week away flying planes around.

I agree that the kitchen needs a slide but the patio should go on the garage wall. The way you could have two ramps to load quads at different angles. You also wouldn't lose kitchen windows if the site was too small to deploy the side patio. Sent by smoke signals using Tapatalk for campfires 4

Re: CY 4200 release date? Jim, I don't care if they are grainy Polaroids you scan using an 80s fax machine. I'm dying to see pictures. Is it Dec 3rd yet? Sent by smoke signals using Tapatalk for campfires 4

I wonder how far in advance of the build date they will allow orders. Hopefully if it truly is April we should get pricing and ordering info soon. Thanks for the link. Sent by smoke signals using Tapatalk for campfires 4
