Ahhhh Noooo. LOL

No love for the little bee on the side of my truck? LOL The dealer had installed those decals on at least half the trucks on their lot, in order to jack up the invoices of the trucks!
The decal is $899 Canadian on my invoice ROFLMAO
Believe it or not my wife of 20yrs wanted the truck with the stripe as oppossed to the ones without?

I've owned a 68 Charger and a 74 Challenger so maybe thats why she liked the stripe?
I've grown accustomed to it now..

Thanks for the compliments, the only thing I will say about the rims is the pics just DON'T do them justice!!

I installed a set of these on my truck yesterday. They do look good!

My bathroom scale confirms what Warwagon posted, too. Mine showed these Mopar rims at 33.6 pounds. And my original wheels were the chrome-clad aluminum ones off a 2009 Laramie and they were 35.4.

(and I think my scale only reads in increments of 0.2 lbs)

After I get my TGC (2"/1.5") leveling kit on, I'll post a picture.

Funny. That was the very first thing that came to my mind, too. I was even considering posting a link to the definition on UrbanDictionary.com. Buuut, then I decided to just not go there. None of my business what WarWagon is into in his "off" hours.

I just talked myself into a set and what happens my kids get hit in a parking lot and now I have to loan him the dough to fix his car..looks like headlight assy, fender, inner and repair outer and repair some brackets underneath, more damage behind the scenes then it looks, one of the horns, windshield squirter, something rubbing wheel.

So no rims for Dad, I am gonna get the parts at rock auto, half the price of here.
