    They're already off!
    It was just a quick and easy, while I was bored, project. It was bugging me to see how they would have looked, so went ahead and did it.

    Well obviously, if they're a different bolt pattern, they won't fit, unless you get adapters

    Nice RM Hockey Puck!!
    I've got a 'thing' for oldschool, Canadian mountain bikes.
    Over the years I've had several RM's, couple of Blizzards, Hammer, Cirrus. Also a couple of Kona's, a Hot, two Explosif's, Kilauea.
    My current bike, is a restored 1993 Brodie Catalyst, with Gatorblade fork, Syncros stem, and period correct parts.
    I need to get a picture up!

    Are you sure it didn't happen by going through a car wash? Used to happen all the time on VW's, brushes or dryer vents come down and grab the antenna, which in turn gets tangled and mangled.

    For some reason I cannot reply to the other thread that you started regarding engine/part compatibility between Jeep/Dodge parts for your crd engine.
    In your searching, have you managed to find the correct part number that you need for the Journey? By just googling the actual part number, it should tell you other vehicles it will fit.

    Nice, thanks! Looks like a similar process to my old Jeep grille.

    Yes I know, old thread, but thought I would share my love for RAM mounts.
    Have used their products in a few vehicles, and love them.
    Ordered a twist lock suction base, with arm and Garmin Rino holster, didn't need the holster, but the price couldn't be beat if I just bought the base and arm. Using it along with an X-grip, which holds my note2 with Otterbox defender very nicely.

    Are the Khumo's just an American thing?
    Or are my factory Toyo's just an R/T thing?
    I don't find them bad at all, even in snow.

    Should that not have been covered by warranty? I find it very surprising that a car relatively new has this sort of issue.

    I hope next week isn't just a tease of things to come, supposed to be above 0c here in Ottawa all week. Went through the car wash this morning, and I also went out earlier this week and bought some car cleaning supplies, leather wipes, microfibre clothes, and a new bottle of Rain-X!

    Paint, plasti-dip, vinyl wrap, easy options out there instead of buying a whole new grille.

    AliExpress, although I cannot comment on using that site, I have recently placed an order, but have not received my items yet.
    *edit* Be prepared to wait for your product though, usually takes 30+ days!

    If you want advice about how to fix your car, remember that you are the eyes and ears of your helpers. So, you need to be a good witness.
    Here are some dos and donts
    Do record the year, transmission type, mileage and engine size of your vehicle, and any pertinent history of repairs.
    Do provide as many details as you can about the problem.
    Dont ask, does anybody know how to fix a Dodge? dont ask, how do you fix brakes? Vague questions like that are a red flag that the person has no clue about auto repair, so dont be surprised if you get simple answers back. If you show some evidence of your skill set, then those offering advice can better adjust the explanation to your knowledge level. And, there is less risk of walking somebody down a repair pathway that puts them in danger of causing more problems.
    Dont just say my car wont start. You need to be a better observer. Heres an example.
    I have a 2013 automatic transmission 3.6L with 50,000 miles that wont start today. Its never had any serious repair and its had no major maintenance before. Last night while I was driving the engine suddenly quit, so I coasted to a stop on the road, a block from my house. Dash lights and headlights stayed on until I turned the key off. That night I couldnt restart it, so I walked home. This morning I stepped into the truck and I turned the key to on. Just after I turn the key to on, I hear the fuel pump motor come on for a couple of seconds. The lights on the dash come on, the headlights work normally. The fuel gauge reads 3/4 full. When I turn the key to start I hear the starter motor engage, and I hear and feel the crankshaft spin. I can see the serpentine belt moving when I try to start the vehicle. But it spins the motor at a faster than normal speed, with an unusually smooth whirring sound and no evidence of ignition.
    The above history, presented in the kind of smooth and logical way that a mechanic would normally approach the problem, rings familiar bells and makes it much easier for others to help.
    Unless youre sure, dont start the description with your diagnosis. For example, dont start with the question how do I replace a thermostat Rather, give the problem, the evidence, and only then discuss why you think you need a new thermostat. You might find that the white smoke out your exhaust that you didnt mention is also related to the overheating radiator.
    Do provide as many clues as you can. for example if the problem only happens in damp or cold weather, mention it.
    Do consider making a video of the problem. Posting video on Youtube is free, easy, and fun. A short video of your problem can make a huge difference as to how much youll get out of your effort. And youll likely meet a lot of interesting friends along the way.
    Finally, one more thing. Remember to keep your thread active, right to the point that the problem is solved and answered. Everybody who helps out on this forum wants to see how things ended up. If you ask a question on this forum, you owe those who try to help the courtesy of telling them what the solution was, even if you eventually had it fixed by a pro.
    Good Luck!
