I have some Jeep mods coming soon! Ordered up a Volant intake and 87mm TB from Moes. I'm working with Matt to help him get kick started over on Jeep Garage. He bought his wife a 2013 Jeep and has started modding it already and has added some parts to his site. He gave me a good deal on the parts and in exchange I will post lots of pics and give an honest review of them once installed on Jeep Garage, which I know they will be awesome. Hopefully he can get a few sales out of it. As we already know, he has outstanding customer service and great prices. I think he's going to do very well on JG.
And for you Kyle, he said the S&B intake for the 2500s has been bumped up again and we're now looking at November...

Yeah, I have been checking the S&B site weekly to look for any updates. I seen it was pushed to Nov.........
I asked Matt as soon as they are up for grabs to call or text me because I will get one...... If they ever get released...

Was playing around on the Ram Trucks website and built me a nice 1500, a fully loaded 2014 Laramie 4x4 with 8 speed, 3.92 gears, and air suspension. MSRP is $51,875, exactly $5 more than the Jeep I bought but I would be able to get a lot better discount on the Ram. Part of me wishes I would have bought the truck rather than the Jeep. I'd have a lot more room with a bed cover and I think my wife would like the truck better. Oh well, maybe in a couple years I'll trade the Jeep on a 5th gen Ram. Those should be out for a 2016 model year.

you know........there are a lot of neat things about the new trucks - but I don't see my bitch going anywhere anytime soon.
51K for a truck, and I know now........I would order one EXACTLY how I want it, and that f'er won't be cheap.
Honestly, I'm really wishing that I had another spot in the garage........I want a lowered RCSB for a toy now.....

My next truck will be a 5th Gen. Maybe a RC if I convince the wife we should keep the current truck since it will be paid off then.

Wife still likes the Jeep but I think I just like the truck a little more. I can't wait to see what they do with the 5th gens. The air suspension and 3.0L diesel would be pretty damn sweet.
And I'll never buy another new vehicle off the lot, a custom order is the way to go. There were things I settled for on my 2010 and I lucked out and got my Power Wagon pretty much exactly how I wanted but being able to order EXACTLY what you want makes it a little easier to drop that kind of money. Also, when you tell a dealer that a custom order is the only way you're buying a vehicle, it takes some of the BS out of the deal with them trying to get you into something that day.
My truck is going to be around for a long time though. With everything I've done to it, it doesn't make much sense to trade it in anytime soon. Plus, my suspension mods won't work on the new suspension and I'm sure it will be a while for companies like Carli and Thuren to develop an awesome suspension package. I would absolutely love to add some more power though, either from a stroker engine or a RIPP supercharger... I'm thinking a 400 CI stroker would be pretty damn awesome!
