Russ-There's an 'under the rail' bedliner inside.

Augustine- Thanks a lot!! I hope to never need to call you for help with it, but it's nice to know someone behind the scenes if necessary!!

Rob-That's a good idea. I will try that! I wish I had 2" clearence on each side!!! Anyone else w/ ideas-keep them coming!

Mike- Thanks! This truck could probably tow both my old 4Runner AND my trailer together!

True Fred, also yours has a towing capacity the Ram SRT doesn't have... and yours looks nicer IMO.

Fred;

Hang a practice golf ball from the ceeling with string to where it touches the windshield to show that you are in the garage. I had to do this with my F-150 that had about 2" clear front and back.

Well.....last night I gave her the first bath. (It took almost 3 hours to get it right!!) Then I went to put her in the garage........uh-oh...I don't think the garage is really big enough!!! I only have 1/2 inch clearance in front and only 1 inch clearance in back!!! It took almost 15 minutes to keep inching her up, getting out of the truck to look, then inching her up, etc.... to get it right. What a PITA!!!!

How do you keep from hitting the wall with the front of your cars/trucks if it's a tight fit into the garage???????

Mike, yes the Ram SRT is sweet. However, it's a two door and a manual transmission. Not real practical. The truck I bought has about 350HP which is plenty!!

Have you seen the new Ram SRT? Ordering opened up this week... mid $40k's, and a 500hp Viper V-10!

Pat, I'll try to get some pics of the engine. Doesn't look like anything special, but press the pedal down and hold on!!

Very sweet truck! If you don't mind me asking, how many properties do you own (assuming by properties you are talking about a rental portfolio) and with that number, how much time per week do you spend just visiting them and doing little things with them? Also, out of curiosity, what kinds? SFH, Multi, Apt. buildings, commericial?
