    hi everyone

    Welcome to the forum, from North America!
  2. You should be able to calibrate all of the factory tire options at the Dealer.
  3. Out of curiosity, what size? My new tires have a tread life warranty of 80,000 so I will not be buying tires for a long time!
  4. Ring of Fire to Racetrack. Way to go. Since the tailgate on the DJ is made of plastic, Racetrack taillights could be added. Maybe for 2016. Hmmmm..........
  5. I had my Dealer install the camera install the camera as part of my sale.
  6. My dealer had to remove the left side third row seat to remove the side panel. Installing the camera was part of my deal. There were pieces of the car all over the place! LOL
  7. Where did you find your information on the 245/55R19? I asked about this size back in July and did not receive one reply. Tire Rack says it will not fit, and they do not recommend it. This is why I settled for 255/50R19. If Dodge can use them, so can I! No issues. I intensely studied all of the pictures of the Show Crossroad, on the web and on this forum, with this size tire mounted, and decided this was the tire size for me, With the Crossroad wheels, they look awesome, IMHO.

    Welcome to the forum.
  9. I asked the same question back in July, and never received a reply. I do know that P 235/55R19 will work. I settled on 255/50R19. Slightly bigger than the stock 225's, but a lot wider.
  10. Welcome to the forum. All the dash lights flashing may indicate a premature TIPM failure. Also, my owners manual says that the key fob has to be within 5 feet of the car. Since she walked away with the keys, the electronic connection was interrupted. I occasionally forget to turn mine off. I hear something running; thinking it is the electric fan. Then I realize that I for got to turn it off. Remind your Dealer about your warranty.
  11. Welcome to the forum. Enjoy your Blacktop, which seems to be a very popular option around here.
  12. Today, I installed P255/50R19 tires on my Crossroad. This is the size tire that was on the Red Show Crossroad that Dodge introduced all around the country last spring. The Show Crossroad has Firestone Destination ST tires mounted. But, these tires have been on national back order for months. So, I chose Bridgestone Dueler H/T Alenza Plus. Wet performance rating is Best, while snow performance rating is Better. Hopefully, I will now have no issues in the snow this winter, as I do not have AWD. Time will tell. I went down to my Mopar Dealer to compare DJ wheels. All of the 19" DJ wheels seem to be rather flat, while the Crossroad wheels seem to have a deeper dish (stick out farther) to them. I am not wheel savy, so I do not know if this is an increase or decrease in wheel offset. At any rate, on the Alenza Plus, the sidewalls have extra re-enforcing, and they stick out 1.5" past the edge of my wheels. They fill out the wheel arches nicely, and I do not think that I have to worry about getting curb rash on my wheels! The front tires line up with the edge of the wheel arches, and with the rake of the DJ, especially in Copperhead Pearl, the Truck now looks like it it supposed to look! I am, indeed, a happy camper. It really honks me off when manufacturers show a vehicle one way at the shows, and then pass it on to the unsuspecting public in a different form.
  13. I just ordered a set of Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza Plus, P255/50R19. They will be here tomorrow, and I will have them mounted tomorrow. This is the same size tire on the Show Crossroad at the Chicago show, so you made a wise tire size choice. They rate BEST in wet performance and BETTER in snow performance I'm not putting up with the crap Korean Khumos. And yes, they are the same size tire as the rest of the DJs with 19" wheels. I just turned over 2,000 miles on my Crossroad! According to the Tire Calculator, 65 will now read 65.67 - close enough for me!
  14. For 2014, the color is listed as Copperhead Pearl. Odd. I'm going to try and some pictures of mine "on fire" also!
  15. They are Firestone Destination ST P255/50R19, mounted on the Crossroad wheels. Firestone Destinations have been on backorder for months. Not sure how Dodge nabbed a set for the Show DJ.
  16. FYI, the ballast for the LEDs is built into the housing. There is 12v at the end of the harness.
  17. When I initially bought my DJ, I pushed the switch in to turn on the fogs. I have never pushed it again, and the fogs come on as soon as I turn on my lights. Works every time. Is it supposed to be this way?
  18. My manual says that you have to turn the front wheels all the way to the right, or left, depending on which one you want to remove. They might just snap in like the rear reflectors.
  19. I have never really looked at another DJ, but the "blacked out" appearance on my taillights seems to be on the inside, and not the red lens. So, it does not affect the light output. Are other DJ lights chrome around the LEDs? Mine are black.
  20. Good to know. I had a FWD car back in the 80's, and if memory serves me well, it did OK. But so much has changed with all of the electronic stuff today.
  21. Welcome to the forum. From what I understand, the Blacktop is similar to the Crossroad. Congratulations!

    Welcome to the forum. No leaks in mine, so far. I purchased it at the end of June!
  23. Found an online quote this morning, saving my $94.00 from the price he quoted me at the store.. Since I brought in an online quote for the Destination St's, he said that if I found one for the Duelers, he would honor it. Good news for me. Plus, I received a $60.00 coupon in the mail. So, everything is coming together. I will let you know how they handle the snow.

    Dodge Rampage Concept

    I was a MAN for years driving 4x4's. I guess that I am a Yuppie now driving an SUV wannabe! LOL And, fwd to boot!
  25. I plug my iPone5s into the USB, and pair the phone with Bluetooth. Most of my music is on my iPhone. Music plays, phone works, and Nav on the iPhone Maps app works (interrupts the music with directions) all at the same time. With the new iOS8, everything seems to work except that it will only play my songs in alphabetical order. Uconnect is working on an update to their software. if you go to uconnectphone.com, it will list every phone/software that is compatible with the latest Uconnect software version: v14/27/B5
