Nice, and yeah, was a run of spectating until this year. Looking forward to probably getting back in a few months. Have several friends that have competed in various classes. Good friend down the street has been slowly building a high power monster around 4400 class rules.
 
We are pushing 10” of accumulation so far. Got a few more hours until the forecast says it changes to rain.

Wow, that is some snow. A few years ago my mom who was in the beginnings of her dementia scraped the snow off her black Ram with a shovel, and it ruined the windshield and the paint on the hood. Thank GOD it was only a 1500.
 
Partial badge removal, was only going to remove RAM from the door but the passenger side Hemi badge was noticeably crooked……..my ocd got the best of me

Glare is horrible, not a photographer

Edit: added another pic, maybe a little better

Nicely done!
 
Technique?

Sent from my semi-smart telephonic device
Just used fishing line then 3M Automotive adhesive remover,followed up with a light wax/buff just because…….The Hemi badge came off much easier than the RAM emblem. Had the eraser wheel ready to go but didn’t need it. Truck is also only a month old so they haven’t been on very long.

Quick edit, I was able to roll off a good bit of the adhesive with just my thumb, really surprised, not the first time I’ve done this and it’s never been this easy.
 
Gave her the first oil and filter change at 2500 miles. Getting ready for the first tow. 1750 miles. Joe finally opened the border to us from Kanuckistan. Yeeehaw. Get me out of the snow belt. LOL
First time I was under the truck. Things sure have changed since my 2003 dually 2WD. They even painted the entire drive shaft flat black. Nice touch. And my 2WD had a SOLID FRONT AXLE!!!!! Just one big pipe from one side to the other. And that original oil filter was a B**CH to get off. My buddy gave me a hand since my left wing is slightly broken. LOL
 
Finally got my A.R.E. Z Series cap. Ordered in April 2021 and it arrived Friday. Quality has substantially dropped since the one I bought back in 2016 for my 2016 ED. Night and day difference. I ordered a clothes rod attachment which didn't get added, fit and finish is really substandard. Every sliding/folding window sticks and is very difficult to move. On a high note, the electric lock works great and lights are set correctly and are bright.

Personnel and supply shortages due to COVID is what I was told. Won't buy another one again. Looks good on the truck, but poor production, a six month wait and a full price tag make this a regrettable choice.

Hate to hear that, been looking to get a Z series for my ‘21, loved the one I had on my ‘08

Huh, I ordered my ARE topper this August, installed on my truck 5 weeks later (end of September). But I think the Dealer I went to is #1 volume ARE dealer in country so they probably have the priority to get orders made quicker.

I agree though, quality was lower than I would expect. Or at least it’s sub-par compared to an OEM component on the truck.
Sliding windows are sticky/difficult to slide as well, this is my first fiberglass topper so I’m not sure how normal that is.

That Z series frameless rear door looks really nice! I also didn’t know you could get it with the framed side windows(which would mean I could get windoors)…I thought you had to get the Z series with the frameless vent-only windows.

Nice rig. I was leaning toward white as black shows every GD scratch.

My sides are sliders, has a permanent inner screen. Had the same side vents you have on my last ARE. Opened the vest maybe 5 times in 5 years of having it. This time I decided for a slider as it lets in a ton more air. It too is difficult to slide.

Oh well, this to shall pass.
