Looking good! Mods just take time, especially the big ones. All worth it in the end

Beautiful Truck! I'd throw a set of Projector Headlights on that list.

That's certainly one beautiful truck! Very Envious!

Nice progress!

 

[zotes1500]

thanks!

also just won mopar slush mats for $95.

so those two items will be good for now lol

 

[Hollabakzach23]

Looking good! What do the mopar mats look like? I was looking at getting some weather techs for mine but there wasn't an option for the heavy duty bucket style ones for my truck? I'm hoping I just missed over it though

Nice!! Welcome to the forum

 

[zotes1500]

Looks good man! Keep it up, shipping the mats tomorrow

thanks cant wait to get them! Still have the paper ones down over the carpet logo ones lol

 

[zotes1500]

Put those on ebay You can just about get your money back for buying mine.

The carpets sold on ebay for 70 dollars a couple hours after I posted them

lol really? nice, i might just have to do that and just about break even. Cause the "ram" carpet ones are nice...but they will stain too easy. Rubber ones should come factory...

ohhh those mats look nice, how do the front ones look? i cant wait to get mine from fastnugly

 

[zotes1500]

Nice! It's coming along good man. Slower you go the bigger your wallet feels

Yes that is true! and you get time to search for the best deals.

The front mats look good. i just didnt realize that i got the 2012 model with the two mat hooks on both the driver and passengers side. and Dodge hasnt come out with the slush mats with that feature yet. So im just waiting on dodge to come out with it so i will just buy the two front ones and sell mine

 

[zotes1500]

Just take a nice small hobby cutting/grinding/sanding tool and cut it off. Saw a thread where a guy did that and it looks factory. A lot cheaper way. Only took him like 5 minutes.

i want the hooks becasue it prevents it from sliding forward. im content just waiting for the newer ones, plus ill sell the current ones and break even anyways

Just made an appointment on saturday (11/30/2012) to get my bed Line-x !!! Only $419 + tax! (i say "only" relatively speaking…)
