Trying photobucket out for picture posting on the forum. I figured I'll post up some pics of my changes.


First up, took the Ram and 1500 off both doors this weekend. Also have switched over to the Husky front and rear mud flaps. I had the Ram Mopar rear ones originally, but the wider rims and the fact that the front won't fit with the factory step, I went all around Husky. They look nice, touch slightly on the front still, and seem to catch more of the spray from the wheels now being a bit wider.

Looks nice! I Love the crew plus 6'4 bed! Makes me wish I would have got the crew cab, but that will be the style of my next purchase!

Other side, I used the fishing line and pealed and pulled the 3M away.

Good digital photography

What struck me as particularly fine, regarding the photographic quality, is the camera was able to differentiate the black tones and shade of the tire, tread and fenderwell area.
Similarly, didn't shift the black tones toward fake grey.
Nice.

Thanks. Actually it isn't very clean, but looks ok in pictures.

Looks good. Are those Sport wheels?

 

[jrtubb]

They are sport wheels. It was an option and really like them. They are a bit wider then the regular 20x8. I ordered a set of these in gloss black for the rims, I think it will give it a touch of custom.

Custom Katzkin Red and black interior goes in tomorrow. Here's hoping the dealership ones a good job. My wife thinks I'm crazy, but I detailed out the truck this morning so these guys know it is perfect and better not cause any damage.

Stopped by the shop today and got to see the first seat. Have to wait till tomorrow to get the truck back.

OK, now I want Katzkin...that looks sweet!!

Sweet, like the red stitching. How much dough and what all are you getting in the Katzkins? Front and back, all leather?

 

[jrtubb]

I was told all leather and they have the heated seats from Katzkin. Ram is paying for them due to my truck not having the correct interior. I'm going to try and get an invoice to send to my insurance.

When I had looked on Katzkin and Mopar's page it was around $1600 for the leather package for front buckets and the rear bench. I didn't price out the heated pieces though.

 

[jrtubb]

Looking at the Katzkin site I think I have about $3k in seats, logo, and heated seat package.

The Mopar package I believe is a two tone to match the current interior. The ones I saw were two tone gray.

You said the sport wheels are wider than Ram's other 20" wheels? I haven't heard this before can you elaborate please?

 

[jrtubb]

The aluminum Chrome Clad Big Horn Wheels are 20" x 8", the Sport wheels are Polished Painted Aluminum 20" x 9". It is listed like that in the build and price web site and brochure. I'm not sure if the offset is the same in both rims, but the sport rims do stick out a bit past the fenders sitting side by side the other Black CC Big Horn at work.

Looks nice! I'm interested to see how the decals look on the wheels when they're installed.

Cool I like that. I was thinking about buying a set of those from craigslist to run in the winter. My Outdoorsman has the fender flares so the fact they are a little wider would be good

Seats and install came out amazing. The added padding and heat option added a bit more firmness to the soft tradesman seat padding.

 

[PTCTreeGuy]

Nice, think Katzkin will owe you some leather care products for making that look good and showing off their quality. Only thing I didn't like about the Outdoorsman was no factory leather but think their FULL leathers are better than the factory seats anyway. Might have to ask when my truck finally comes in about their installer, if they do it in house or sent out to an interior shop.

 

[jrtubb]

Check Katzkin website for installers in your area. If the dealership isn't list I'm sure it is going to a interior shop. I found out the interior shop could have gone even more custom including adding a cooling seat option. That said Ram and the dealership are trying real hard to make me happy, so I do appreciate the added luxury.
