white/carbon vinyl inlays for the steering wheel and center armrest emblems, carbon vinyl overlays for the laramie badging and 4x4 on the tailgate.

Damn that's a lot of stuff...........is there going to be anything left of the original truck when you get through? Sounds like you're trying to make your own version of a Sport or a Laramie!

 

[dav8388]

That is a long list of stuff you got I'm not planning to do that many mods. I bought my 17 Tradesman brand new in April this year. So far I have.

Weathertech bug deflector
RA2 radio
Mopar back up camera kit
Swapped the chrome badges for black ones (except the grille)
Steering wheel audio controls
30% window tint
Jeep foot well lights
LED bulbs in all interior lights, cargo light, reverse light, and license plate light
Currently collecting parts to install an auto dimming mirror. (Just need the mirror itself)

Future
Leather wrapped steering wheel
Mopar bed lights
Rebal wheels
OE Hemi exhaust (I like the looks but need to hear it with the 3.6 in person before I commit)
LED flood lights using the OE fog light wiring and switch.
Retrofit the stock qualds with morimoto projectors

Trying to put some Sport into it. Not trying to copy one just want some of the cool options they have.

Where do you buy those inlays? Any pis of yours installed?

That's a lot! Will look like my truck if your not careful... What are the Jeep foot well lights? Do you have a pic?

I don't have a pic of them in my truck, but they look like this. I got mine out of a Jeep liberty in the junkyard. The OE Ram ones are a dim LED you can't change, but these allow you to use whatever 194 bulb in you choose. The wiring is already there.

I got mine from Ebay or there is a member here that makes them, dont remember who!
Search badge vinyl inlays

Thanks for the pics, now I understand. These must be much brighter than the small stock ones. May be a good idea for my truck.

They look perfectly cut to the badges. Never thought of that, maybe they got on for the badge on the drivers air bag too.

Almost done

So far all I've done on my 2500 is add a DuraLiner bed liner, a tool box, Mopar brake controller, CB, HAM, and work radios. I bought it used and the former owner already installed Renegade bumpers on the front and back.

My future plans, in order of importance to me, are:

-SOMETHING- to fix the stupidly dim headlights - probably upgrade to LED's
LED lights on the front and rear bumpers (have the lights, just need to -install- them! LOL)
Folding back seat modification (should have done it when installing the radios but didn't... Doah!)
-Install- HFT power inverter (I currently just throw it under the back seat)

Install a Rancho 4" lift with 2" front leveling and shocks
35" BFG Mud Terrain tires
Classic-style wheels
Unit bearing delete /full-float locking hub kit
Air lockers w/air compressor, tank, and air hose kit

Mile Marker 12k winch
Custom under-toolbox fuel tank

Do a full EGR delete
Do a full exhaust delete/upgrade to 4" pipes

Replace side steps with something that doesn't flex when I step on them
Fender flares
Install overhead console
Upgrade radio to something I can bluetooth my phone into
Add some Cummins badging to the body! (Truck is an ST version and is plain as a sheet of white paper!)

Just got my 2018 1500 5.7 in July. Going to be adding a spray in bed liner, steps (maybe amp research if I can afford them), headlights (from retro shop) as all I have is the halogen, wheels (have not decided which ones yet) and a magnaflow 18" muffler. Pretty tame, but I think it is all I will need to be 100% happy with the truck.

 

[FXCLM5]

I make them, pm me for a set - I will beat ebay prices!

Added Timber Grove ASAM's
Added Air One WirelessOne on board air compressor
Added OPT7 Redline Triple LED tail gate light bar

Added AVS front bug deflector and Ventshades (Flat black)

Too Do:

Carven competition muffler coming....waiting for it to arrive.
Bushwhacker rocker panel guards....waiting for them to arrive.

Spray in bed liner is what I need, still looking for a good price for one. These guys in CA are threw the roof with there prices.

I would be doing the lift with the wheels and tires first! Post up some pics here as you install all the accessories.
