I think you should get these instead of fender flairs. Go retro to match the mullet.

Mabett's fender flares should work with Yosemite Sam flaps, so it's not an either / or...
This is probably the only scenario when Sam would be deemed "compatible"...
The best ones light up his six shooters when you brake.

A wise man once told me, "Never fall in love with anything that can't love you back."
I think in this case you can make an exception.

Forward to the grave I go.
Life, I decided to, ‘Get Sum’

Peppers Replacement is mine.
This is corny but my wife named it ‘Thor’
:’P
I feel a bunch more power than my 2024 Eco Lariat, a bunch. No idea why ?
She growls when I step on it. It’s not sound piped through the B&O.

Sounds just like the $1,000 aftermarket muffler systems Ha !

I’ve got Paddle Shifters !
Insert any evil laugh you can imagine. The paddle shifter are simply Badass.
I've learned it won’t go into 8th gear unless I’m above 65 mph.

No concern with gas mileage. It’s already better than my 2024.
Can’t wait to break it in.
BIG chunky A/T Tires !
Super smooth ride,

It’s loaded, with stuff I didn't need and a few I’ll never use.
No sun/moon roof, I’ve never liked or wanted one of those.
Got my sliding rear window, love that. Sync 4 is nice. I have a lot to learn.

The extra one inch of ground clearance makes egress easier.

I never thought I’d say this but to me it’s a big step above my 2024 Lariat.

I was in an open field some fifty yards from the highway. Just sitting there with the engine on and the very powerful A/C on chilling and playing music on sound level 5, very low.
A fire rescue and an ambulance went screaming by sirens blasting.
I heard absolutely nothing.
Before this the Sales man said After we closed the deal that the 26 Tremor had an even better sound package.
As far as I can tell he’s never lied to me. Who knows.

This Tremor is OUTSTANDING!
I’ll never be able to buy any other trim or a hybrid in the future.

Dammit Man ! I was actually planning to buy a Hybrid about five years out.

I’m gonna go pet my Truck.
Wow Cherokee, that’s a sweet replacement for Pepper, Thor sounds like a pretty good name. I’m sorry you lost Pepper, but by now you are probably thinking, who was Pepper🤣👍

I live my life in 12-14 year segments. Based on my K-9 at the time.
I actually bought the Tremor so I could take my boy farther up in the Cherokee National Forest.

He wanted a more capable trail vehicle.
Seems the Tremor is that Truck

Congratulations on your upgrade. I upgraded a '24 Lariat to a '25 Tremor for many of the reasons you cited. It's the nondescript muscle car always wanted.

He wanted a better Truck

I bet with doggy vision he's like "Man, you had a grey truck, now you got another grey truck, how boring." :LOL:

In 2014 I bought a F150. First reason was I had not owned a truck since 2005 when I sold my ranger to 1 of my kids. Hated using a minivan for work. Second reason was my wife's Keeshond, who we had just spent way more money on spinal surgery for, than my 1992 Ranger cost. Since I had to lift him into the vehicle and out and we needed a wide flat floor area the F150 fit the bill. My wife was in declining health and that dog along with my Corgi mix gave her a reason to follow doctors treatments. Both dogs passed in 2016 and her mental state and physical health went down rapidly. What we do for the ones we love sometimes defies logic or common sense.

Dog named "Thor" brought this to mind!!!
The movie you are looking for is Bad Moon (1996). It follows a man named Ted who is infected with a werewolf curse and moves near his sister's family to find a cure. The family's loyal German Shepherd, Thor, immediately senses the danger and spends the movie fighting to protect his owners from the werewolf.

He sure is a good looking dog. I lost my Bailey four years ago after 14 years. She went everywhere with me, I used to have a F250 Super Duty Harley Davidson edition and if she couldn’t go in with me I’d leave her in the truck with the diesel running with the A/C or heat running by season. She was my best friend. Almost a perfect dog. My wife picked up her replacement which is the exact opposite of Bailey, sheds hair everywhere, gets sick in the car, she hates riding in a vehicle, gets a chance runs out the door and is gone for an hour. At least she comes back. Her virtue is she is very loving and sweet. Oh well it was a fantastic 14 years. I have been blessed to have quite a few great dogs. I hope Bailey will be in heaven. I sure do miss her.
