What did you do TO your RAM today?

The damn bird built another nest in the same spot.

The darn things are persistent. I had a couple of starlings take a liking to mine last summer. I removed a BUSHEL of trash from in front of the driver side battery. Next day, another BUSHEL in there. I finally ended up moving the truck. I had robins build a nest on the ladder strapped to the back of the RV. Removed it 12 times before I gave up an took the ladder down. Bird brains are one track.
 
Finishing some prototyping for tomorrows pre-sale. Passenger Side Compressor Frame Mount for ARB Single and Twin, Extreme Air, and Viair Compressors.View attachment 35569View attachment 35570View attachment 35571View attachment 35572
@NHOverland how is this coming along? I am going to be changing out my dual ARB in my Jeep for a York compressor setup and I am wanting to mount the ARB on my Ram. Being as I have a diesel, I can't use your engine bay mount, and I am not wanting the extra noise inside the cab with the under the seat mount. My dogs aren't found of the compressor when it kicks on in my Jeep as it is currently mounted behind my driver's seat. Gets a little noisy when it cycles on.
 
I looked at the rubber when I was at Lowe’s looking for mulch for my parents house, I don’t know if it was the specific brand they had but it looked wayyy to obvious to me what it was made out of. There was a bag partially torn open and upon inspection I could see the cords, tire treads, etc. I also figured it would smell like a tire fire as their mulch beds get sun from basically sun up-sun down. I ended up going with ground up cedar instaed. What’s your take on it?

I got 15 bags a week ago, it was wood.

Yea, it’s mostly tires for sure. We mulch every year if not twice a year so we decided to try the rubber mulch (4x cost supposed to last 12 years?)

When compared to black mulch we determined that we like a few things about this stuff. Lighter weight and doesn’t ooze out black “ink” when you’re throwing and opening bags of it. It’s also super soft you could walk on it barefoot and not get stabby feet
 
Used the rubber mulch about 6 years ago on a 30x30 spot. Yeah it’s tires ground up and makes a mess on bare feet but works and looks good to this day.

Just .02 from here….

I have the same experience, although it does lose some color over the years it still looks good after 8 years.

My father in law replaces his wood mulch every other year, way too much work in my opinion.

We went with rubber as well, and have mixed opinions on it. It is great at keeping the weeds at bay, most likely because of the heat it generates. And - ours did hold the color well over the last 6 years. The biggest issue we have with it is that it is light weight. We have a lot of wind here and I'm constantly having to spread it back out because the wind piles it up.

I will have some new photos up this week hopefully of the final version. It is available for Pre-order now.
 
Truck things with no pics. Brought the TT home from storage. Glad that's done. First trip in a few weeks.
