Installed the Velossa Big Mouth. Doesn't stand out as much behind this grill compared to OE IMO. But not there for the looks I hope?. Maybe it'll hold off my slowly declining MPG after the wheels and tires were put on. Time will tell.

Just got home from Michigan! First ever camping trip with the truck! And it didn’t go without issues… none with the truck just other things… first was my tires couldn’t get balanced I took em twice and they still have a slight vibration to em… 2nd was my valve stem they installed was slashed and it lost almost all of its air on a back road in Michigan but thankfully a discount tire up there got me fixed in 30mins! Lastly my poor m100 is having issues… when going up to Michigan I got 20-21mpg awesome right? On the way back I was struggling at 15-16mpg with a trailer that weighs maybe 800lbs something on my trailer is dragging and not allowing it to roll properly so I had to drive slower but I did get it all home!

Previous detail shop asked me to buy a genuine Mopar paint pen for a very minor scratch on the RR door of my 300 - probably can't see it at 25ft. Under $20. Asked me to leave the car overnight for car cleaning and scratch repair. Picked up car the next day - car cleaned up but scratch not repaired.

Was told I had purchased the wrong item but wouldn't tell me why it was wrong. Was also told they could no longer clean my vehicles because they were short handed and recommended someone else - apparently a fellow church member.

Dang, felt like I got slapped twice....
What the heck was all that about!?! Sounds incredibly frustrating ... =(

Thought this was funny tho...

Bah on them not having your incredible rare and exotic euro-colour! Sheesh, that's a bummer.

Pretty funny with all the kitty litter for the oil spots. BUT, and I won;t name names, that would help some people park better! A target to line up on. =D

One of those days where the stars didn't line up properly.....the first shop lost all of his best people, minus one. The new shop had a structural fire at their detail shop and were conducting business from their church parking lot - supposed to be back in their regular building by December....

Well, things happen and thank goodness your truck wasn't in the shop fire! Now that would really be frustrating! I tend to think these things happen for a reason, maybe they would have done damage, who knows. I trust in the big guy upstairs-even if, sometimes, I think I know better!. =p

Life's good when these are our biggest challenges. =)

well I did a little oops lmao. fuck I'll trouble shoot tomorrow but if anyone has any pointers on where I should look first would be of some help. short story long I caught some major air and set of the dash like a afghan jingle truck or Christmas tree lmao. advance trak is saying there's a fault, hill assist fault, pre collision fault, terrain management fault. I'm almost willing to bet it has to do with front half shafts maybe one popped out slightly but what I don't understand is why would it set off other error codes. maybe i do need to do the differential drop sooner than later. o and I have an abs light on too which may be from over stretching rear.

Does that connect to any other part of the air intake, or just direct the air flow closer to the OEM inlet?

I'll say it was fun, just dealing with the side effects not so much. kinda like getting drunk the hangover that follows sucks. I'll say for a budget suspension it handles really well and stayed planted pretty good even when she forget she wasn't a plane but a truck

Not to shabby but I wouldn’t bother with straps get longer brake lines and other stuff and get the full use of your extended shocks that’s what u did with my tacoma the only time I’ve seen people need straps for a rear end is when it’s linked and long travel
money, money, and some research. I need to see if f150 rear lines are longer as well as parking brake lines also see if they'll work if they do ill go with that. but for now till then before I damage more stuff I'll probably make some chain straps until I get funds and research and cross reference stuff. hopefully my fuck ups and adventures help others though.
