Well if I'm paying for it, I'm getting what I want, not paying for **** twice. Plus amber turn signals are more visible and therefore safer.

Six months ago, I gave $6,500 for this 2008 1500 single cab with 112K miles. It's in excellent shape and I have changed every fluid and filter save for the rear end oil. The only downfalls was a crappy ride a dinged up bed and a really crappy (smelly) driver's seat. So, I figured I got a fairly good deal on the truck and the cost of a little comfort would bring long term joy! I'm 56 and this is my 1st truck and I'm truly in love!

A few weeks ago I had a spray-in bed liner and some new seat covers installed. The shop that did this work also ordered me a new seat bottom cushion for the driver's side. I also installed four new Bilsteins, so the ride is significantly better.

I have a question about the leather seat covers. When I looked at them on other vehicles, there was a Katskinz logo tab protruding from the top/side seam of the driver's seat back. My new seat covers have no Katskinz logo or emblem. The only thing they have is a small black cloth tab with the word "child" on it (visible in the photo on the lower seat-back). Now I never saw any invoice from the mfgr, I just looked at some leather sample pieces, made my color choice and the shop ordered and installed the cushion and covers. Someone at my job saw this and suggested they might not even be Katskinz and the shop might have just ordered some generic skins and charged me the premium price.

Has anyone ever went thru a seat cover install? What sort of label or logo did the leather have? The shop is a mom and pop shop (literally) and they were super nice and everyone says the bed-liner job is the best they have ever seen. Thanks!

Confirmed the worst. Bulbs were all in good condition save for one on the driver's side. Wiring is all okay, too. Moisture is getting into the buckets, though, so maybe that's causing it. There's also damage to the circuit board screw holes and one of the bulb sockets. Here are pics. Looks like I'm not driving for a while...

My truck seems to be taking after Cliff's truck... :/

OK being 100% serious, id be buying the cheapest set of LED tails i could find, screw that whole waiting crap, life happens, you will need your truck, LED tails are one of those things you can usually sell and get most if not all your money back, hell i've gotten sets for $40 before and flipped em for $120, in your shoes id find some red lens led tails and run them till you can comfortably afford to build what you want, when i told you through PM's that you dont want to double spend for mods and stuff, that applies to wants, you need tail lights, so like i said, id be buying whatever i could get my hands on...

Well im starting a new project for my black truck...




This is a bad ass ATV specific radio that is made by Rockford Fosgate, and before the “why” question comes up, im doing it just because i know fosgate quality and everything in this truck is fosgate besides the radio.

I think im gona have to get a regular radio bezel to try and mold this in properly, so if anyone has one laying around let me know
