i just purchased a 2003 ram 1500 regular cab and i still havent found any floor mats that i like. i saw a set on ebay that i loved but the auction is over. ive searched the internet for a set like them with no luck. they were made for a 1500 with a raised ram head on each one. does anyone know of a site where i can get these or do i have to go through my dealer ive also checked out the dodge website and found nothing. i would appreciate any help. .

paul jensen wrote i recently purchased a 2001 dakota and absolutely love it. i am finding this group to be very helpful. how can i find out what date the warranty expires it has 26k miles so im alright there. i may get to 3 years before i get to 36k miles so i need to know when the 3 years are up. the day you signed on the dotted line starts your 36 months. jerry -- character is doing the right thing when nobody is looking. that would be true if he bought the truck new but he said he recently bought a 2001 so im thinking he bought it used. take the vin # to any dealer and have them check it thru dealerconnect. it only takes a minute to get the info. denny .

its time to shut down the computer box it up and prepare to stick it in the uhaul. although im not actually leaving until tomorrow upon completion of this post pasted in several forums ill be offline for 1-2 weeks as i move my entire family 2500 miles to montana. im actually looking forward to the trip as much as i am getting away from this fuck-hole state where ive lived for most of my life north carolina. i look forward to my next post that will say ive arrived safely and it will most certainly include links to pictures of the trip. you guys take care and be safe! -- nathan w. collier 03 jeep rubicon jeep and let jeep http//7slotgrille.com .
