KZP is supposed to be "body vendor", but it seems like it could really be JS (storage) these days.

I have a set of Michelins, 285/45s as I recall, not dedicated winter tires but bought to be better for winter use. Ended up selling the 'Hawk with the OE tires soon afterwards, so not many miles on them if you're interested. Also have a set of stock size DWS06s with very few miles on them, on...

Hmm. Been around @Hellcatcfp much?

Okay, the DSL is working again. Allows me to point out that even the Rapid Transit Authority isn't interested.

That's not entirely untruthful, ChargerChallenger. A low regular cab with power like that would be great. But then there's real life. I wouldn't drive a Furd (or anything which looks even remotely like that) even with your driver's license. Makes me feel better about having a relatively slow...

Oh, I sure wouldn't want to make anything worse. But having been 'wheeling for most of my life, the TRX isn't even on the list of vehicles I'd like to go on trails with. It's capable of much more than I'd want to subject it to, and is really just a fun version of a boring 1500 to me. If you...

Meanwhile, just about any vehicle I buy, I try to make handle, stop, accelerate, or whatever, better. Besides, I have and have had so many "something else" that the TRX was the only vehicle that I was interested in buying. Can I make it handle better? Already did. Can I make it handle better...

Funny. Yesterday I thought "Wonder how hard it could be to lower it about two inches." Going to narrower (matching the rim width better) tires helped the handling quite a bit. The rear anti sway bar helps both in the corners and when accelerating hard. Obviously, lowering would be very...

Correct. It's not particularly good at anything. But where the TRX shines compared to a regular pickup seems to be its ability to go fast in the dirt. I have no desire to go fast in dirt, but do like the 702 hp. Its questionable handling is an acquired taste and can be fun, I think.

Maybe Greg Gutfeld had already trademarked "Redeye"?

I don't think they screwed up. They just didn't anticipate the Hellcat envy. And I know I must've posted a pic of the Limited badge I stuck on the rear lid of my 'Hawk, where the Trackhawk badge used to be.

Hmm. Was it better or worse when I stuck a left-over cat head on the fender of my 3500 (where the big "C" used to be)? I may have even posted a photo of that at some point.

It does have a Hellcat engine, but that doesn't make it a Hellcat, It makes it a TRX. Same situation with the 'Hawk. Dodge offers Charger, Challenger, and did the Durango. Those are Hellcats, as you well know. Sticking cat heads on something other than a Hellcat doesn't make it one. So there.

It's not a Dodge. And only Dodge has Hellcat models.

He does. And somehow Ram found out about his plans for the added cat skulls, which resulted in that his arrived at the dealer later than mine did. And rightfully so. Okay Magnified, your turn to sock it to 04Ram2500Hemi...so to speak.

Surely you know that people do that. Thankfully I have yet to see one of those huge cat head stickers plastered to the side of one. But give it time.

Oh yes, big time. But that was also predictable. In response I got skinnier tires for it, which improved lateral stability quite a bit. The stock 325s don't play well with 9-inch rims on the road, the narrowest the OE tire is approved for. Also, installing a 7/8" inch rear anti sway bar helped...

Challenger is great, 'Hawk was a disappointment, and the TRX is a slug in comparison. But at least I knew the TRX would be ahead of time. Didn't give simple physics enough credit when buying the 'Hawk. Of course, that's all for accelerating when it counts, not from a stoplight. And I really...

Didn't check out the link, but to me it sure seems like if you want to poke around on trails, the Power Wagon is it. But if you want to go fast, just about anywhere, the TRX would definitely be the one, I'm a four wheeler at heart, but prefer much smaller vehicles (flatfender Jeeps) for trail...

Sorry, but our DSL has been down for almost two weeks now, and I can't devote the few bytes I have at my disposal to bash those damn taxis. It's not for a lack of want, though.
