Finally scrolling through this ENTIRE thread since I'm on light duty and just came across this post... I think it looks freaking awesome! Not sure how it would look in a Tradesman model (which I have) cause of the lack of leather but it's super cheap so might try it just to see.

Super easy to do and inexpensive. Plus, the color selections are pretty much endless. I'm using Orange in mine, and actually just ordered a whole lot more to use on the wife's Durango. I find mine on eBay for $1.00 per yard. I don't remember how much I used on my Crew Cab, but ordered 8 yds for the Durango. Hopefully I'll have some left over, because I found some more places to use it in the Ram! [emoji3]

Question for all of you who bought and installed this covers

4196f206a8a455b8f22ef0d45fd39c78.jpg

Did you have any problems with installation? In my 2500 no mater what I do , I can’t get them to stick properly and even with completely squished tape between them I have 1/8” gap all around and I’m not able to close doors with them like that. What am I doing wrong?

I took the tape off and used a few drops of silicone sealer/adhesive to hold them on. worked great.

Thanks for your respond, I have friend coming today with his 1500 and I’ll compare this brackets as it seems this don’t fit my 2500 so there is probably difference in them. Will report back later.

Sweet! Received my order today for my wife's Durango and installed it this evening. Going to have to order some more. Didn't have enough to finish her car. Didn't get an "after" pic because it got dark on me.

Does the level kit void the warranty?
Only on the parts directly caused excess wear/damage by it.

Look up Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act (P.L. 93-637) on google.

I'd like to get an aftermarket fuel door cover for my Ram but heard that most of the offering are a real pain in the ass to install.

Does anyone know of a brand that isn't a pain?

Alternatively I like this cover in the link but it says it's designed for 1994-2008 models. Has anyone installed one of these on a 4th Generation?

Added 8" led driving/fog lights into the tow hook spot.. Bluetooth and can change color from white to amber for fog. Looks oem imho. Going to put the plastic insert back on with cutouts for lights next weekend for a clean look.aceccc1107c700bd6055ba4bbb3fa8a9.jpgec78ddd698096d260376c9e636484f84.jpg

So you didn't have to replace the hinge mechanism? That seems to be what causes people all the grief.

Thanks. Auto Zone , type S 8" led light bar. $99 each but they fit the opening almost perfect. Had to trim the bumper tabs that are in the top middle a bit.
