By the time the replacement showed up there was barely any snow left even in the hills. But it doesn't always work out that way. For a while we suspected that the Porsche might beat the first Challenger. It was ordered a bit later.

Long thread at the old place about that ordeal. But we did have fun joking about me finding mounts for a snow plow on it, high heel imprints in the headliner, etc.

It went to Utah in normal fashion, and the transport didn't take long at all. The delay was from after it was built to when it finally got on a train. It spent time at every yard they had, some of them twice. Fearing plenty of corrosion (it was winter) or that the time was spent repairing...

That is true, except... AI is apparently unaware of the lack of guardrails around here. Plus it looks like there's a paved shoulder.

It was fun until it wasn't. Seeing a vehicle bop up the code ladder and hit the finish line was great. That it then took four months and eight days to reach the dealer, not so much.

I'd call that semi good looking, at best. Not to be confused with a semi (which is the trailer) that looks good, but a tractor that looks semi good. Yes, it's a pet peeve of mine. I'm quite semi conscious.

Speaking of proportions, I just measured my tow vehicle. We all know that the TRX's cab is gigantic, and that its bed is a measly 5'7" short (yes, I just can't call that long). In comparison, the hood on my tow vehicle is 5'8" and the cab is 4'!!". That's very proportional, I think. Another...

That's okay. I'm not working on the upper exterior of the vehicle. I'm well aware that many wash. wax, and polish, their vehicles quite frequently, but I barely have time to tend to maintenance and the far more important bits underneath. After all, those are what keeps a vehicle running, no...

Not worry per se, but I really prefer working on clean parts. Had my fair share of rust encounters early on in life. That's when I started learning how to weld. Don't like rust, dirt, whatever, anywhere underneath a vehicle, not even on the beaters. My hands should ideally be as clean when I'm...

Ah, I never worry about warranties. So far I haven't needed any for any vehicle - the minor things that have gone wrong I fixed myself. You could use a Tazer to get 2WD on a TRX, although from what I've seen they can be a bit glitchy. Still, let's say you bought my TRX when I have ordered a...

For those who do (which might be everybody except me) there's no reason to wait for the Rumble Bee to be released. The hardware needed to lower a TRX is already available from the aftermarket. It won't be quite the same, but if a lowered TRX is ideal, just do it. There's plenty of them out there.

I'm thinking that the shorter cab and frame equals less weight and a stiffer chassis. Performance, in other words. If including overall design in the equation, I think the Super Bee looks much more proportional than the TRX. To me the Gen 4 crew cab looks about right, even with only a 6'4" bed...

Fixed it for you. Three different cabs, at least two bed lengths and two frame lengths, would not be financially sound to offer for a low volume vehicle. And that's not counting certifications, crash testing, etc. for three models.

Yeah, I recently paid just over $40K for a well equipped 5.7 GT AWD, but it's missing a lot of things that a Rumble Bee can come with, like a 6.2, much larger brakes, the sophisticated suspension, etc. So I'm not opposed to paying more than twice as much for a Rumble Bee. Come to think of it...

So a Rumble Bee should only cost $8,000 more than the cheapest base 1500? That's not realistic.

Okay, since you asked nicely, I will.

For whatever reason, it looks like TRXs and Durangos run much higher oil temps than Challengers do. I'm made a cover for the cooler on my Challenger to be able to get it up to temp.

That's an equalizing feature, giving you the same amount of oxygen as I get up here with a clean filter - where the filters stay clean.

Somebody mentioned a $18K discount at Mark Dodge, but that sure sounds like an RHO price, not something with a V8.

That sure doesn't sound logical, vortecd. If one is good, two (or more) must be better yet - be it in car, pickup, or SUV form.
