Installed Clazzio Leather Seat covers yesterday. Probably should've waited umtil warmer weather but I just couldn't look at the box in my basement anymore.

Supposedly these are an easy install but I found them a huge pain in the a$$ to put on. My hands are absolutely killing me. However it was totally worth it, the fit and finish is unbelievable. Looks 100% like factory installed leather seats. Highly recommend these to anyone who likes leather seats that doesn't have them. These pictures don't do them justice at all.

Only negative about them is my heated seats don't work quite as well but it's not a huge deal to me.

Just ordered Rims. Went with the Fuel Beast 17x9 -12 o/s (4.5 BS) (Black/Machined With Dark Tint) will look great with my truck's granite crystal metallic color
As soon as I get back home from the Oilfield, picking up my Zone Upper arms from my local vendor that Zone shipped to, and now to start looking for tires. I will be trying the Muteki Trail Hogs 37x12.5 which are suppose to be a Duratrac copy so we shall see how they work out.
As soon as I get these last items, time to start my build thread and install my Zone 6" with Bilstein's :favorites13:

Make sure to post some pics when you get those on! Those wheels are high on my list.

That's a relief to hear. I'm going to tackle that at the same time I do my center console swap.

Any "tips" or secrets, or any easy ways to do it? Maybe something you learned while doing the wheel wrap that I should know about? Thanks...

Set a good hour aside for it....make sure you start off not near any of the posts in the wheel. When you have to use cheaters ( around the front of the posts) make sure you count properly the holes you need to skip in the back.... if you don't, they will catch up to you in the end... trust me on that *smh* and having to redo it sucks!

Got my LED license plate lights installed. Will post pics when it gets dark out. The white look so much better then the yellow color. Also yesterday I got my switches mounted in the cab for my light bar and reverse pod lights. Will either be installing them later today or later this week.

What did you use to clean engine?

I use the Adams all purpose cleaner and a damp towel, followed up with a little Adams detail spray. I keep up on the engine bay pretty regularly, so I pretty much do it all by hand......it's therapeutic for me (I'm OCD)[emoji15]

And the most important part. Keeping your plastidip cans in a bucket of hot tap water so the paint is warm....

I installed my Clazzio covers a out 3 weeks ago in 20° degree weather lol... my fingers and hands were so sore they were like "locked" and I couldn't move them properly haha...

I love how mine look though and your right, it's totally worth working in the cold weather and killing your hands. The outcome looks amazing!!

So I finished Plastidipping my wheels Matte black and man do they look great. Really changed the look of the truck. I'm so happy with the outcome!!

And I just now realized that the guy I traded rims & Tires with, for some idiotic reason, he had of the wrangler tires have the white lettering side facing out and the other 2 wranglers have the black lettering side facing out. Who does that? And when Firestone was swapping out wheels, why didn't the ******** tech put the 2 white lettered ones on one side and the 2 black lettered tires on the other side. That would have been the common sense thing to do lol. But no. The tech was probably 19yrs old and never seen the inside of an automotive class room.

Took the Ram out go do a little trail riding/shoot off some rounds. New bull bar saved my bumper from a small tree, seems its paying for itself already. Its relieving to get away from school and spin a little dirt. Any suggestions for easy ways to clean underneath and the breaks w/o removing the tires?

Agreed. Looks great!

Yea shoulda got those puppies turned around before you dipped em. I got new tires after dipping mine & had to touch up the outside lip area.. Otherwise maybe just keep spraying dip at the lettering as it rubs off

I was going to get the TPMS Sensors switched out but decided to just wait until I get new tires at the end of this upcoming summer. No point to pay money to flip tires that your replacing in a few months.

If they are really bad after mounting the new tires then I'll just peel them and re paint them. No biggie. Took maybe 2 hours, max. Cost me $20.

Ha thanks I'm glad it's not just me sucking at upholstery work. Yeah it was 25 out for me and I still had the rear to do when it got dark. I hung a trouble light on the clothes hook and finished the rest in the dark. My wife thought I was nuts (nothing unusual there) for finishing it in the dark...

That was Saturday and my hands still hurt lol
