    To trade up or not....

    Well, there is that thing called garage rejection, similar to donor rejection. My garage would definitely wonder what it did wrong if I stuffed a 4-door in there.

    Well, duh. A taxi is a taxi is a taxi.

    Just do it. Aero. You only live once. Have them toss something in to ease the measly 2K difference if need be.

    To trade up or not....

    Now that you mention it, I'm hauling six doors around between two cars. No wonder I like the Challenger better than the 'Hawk.

    To trade up or not....

    I think you should buy the '19, and keep the '16. If for no other reason to have as many doors as Hellcatcfp is dragging around with just one car.

    Need advice on fighting the dreaded steering wheel vibration

    You may find that it'd cost less, maybe a lot less, to get that '19. Hunter balancers aren't cheap.

    Need advice on fighting the dreaded steering wheel vibration

    You're definitely on the right track, too, way ahead of most. All you seem to be missing is that good tire shop. There was an excellent one in Yuma, but the truly great owner (who I learned an awful lot from and still do) sold the store. There has to be others, guys. Keep looking.

    Need advice on fighting the dreaded steering wheel vibration

    There's another option, seldom used these days. Patch balancing the tire. Not that I know how those would get along with a track tire, but I've used them on my Jeep tires with success, and I run those down to 1 psi, and over rocks. Two advantages are that the Hunter machines are (or used to...

    Why did Ram change the name to just TRX instead of Rebel TRX?

    If I was to buy one, I'd definitely wait for the Landing Edition. Anything can be launched, but the landing can be critical.

    Need advice on fighting the dreaded steering wheel vibration

    Yep, I usually move the wheel at least once to make sure it was centered perfectly. Doesn't take but 30 seconds extra, and can be well worth it. Of course, having the tire correctly balanced is only part of the equation. Having the back side of the wheel and the corresponding contact surface on...

    Why did Ram change the name to just TRX instead of Rebel TRX?

    Which is why those don't sell in big numbers.

    Need advice on fighting the dreaded steering wheel vibration

    That is what a Hunter Road Force machine does, if asked to. I like your idea, but trust the machine more as it also takes into account the softer sections of the sidewalls, and balances accordingly.

    Need advice on fighting the dreaded steering wheel vibration

    A few hundred miles of driving should not necessitate a rebalance. They should be laying on their side when stored, once mounted. Yes, I like to mount tires and let them lay in the garage until the next day, letting the pressure do its best to get any deformations out of the tire. Ideally they...

    Need advice on fighting the dreaded steering wheel vibration

    I think I asked earlier in this thread if the tires had been sitting with weight on them and allowed to cool off before going on the balancer. Doesn't matter if that's at home or at the store, they will not be as round as they could be when balanced. And why wouldn't the old weights stay on? If...

    Why did Ram change the name to just TRX instead of Rebel TRX?

    For that kind of money they really should leave all badges off. Some are harder to remove than others.

    Ram Rebel TRX Reveal Date- 8/17/20

    They'd have to tinker with the standard setup quite a bit to get 14 inches (I think it was) of travel out of it.

    Ram Rebel TRX Reveal Date- 8/17/20

    Hmm. Wonder how fast my V6 1500 would be with a ProCharger (and maybe some Nitrous)? It'd definitely be cheaper, and far more stealth.

    You did mean "build time and confirmed pricing", right? There's nothing confirmable about FCA vehicle's build time, I've noticed.

    "Bead lock capable" wheels. Interesting.

    Ram Rebel TRX Reveal Date- 8/17/20

    It won't even go as fast as my preferred cruising speed. And a measly 1,300-lb. load capacity??
