So you literally replaced the OEM seats with Laramie seats? What did that cost, and how long did it take to do the install?

They look terrific, by the way!

I did this a year ago. I paid $300 per seat plus shipping. I also had to get the wire harness to make the heat/cool and electric seat seats to work.
For me it was an easy swap. the seats were 2016 and my truck is a 2017.
Is you truck a gen 4 classic or is it a gen 5. if it is a 2019 Gen 5, older parts from a '19 Classic or '18 and older will not work on a '19 gen 5 truck. Now maybe Gen 5 leather seats should bolt in a Gen 5 truck.

OEDRO all-weather floor mats for a crew cab only costs $69.99 now when using promo code.

Nope, no issues. Still works great. Although, I did have a problem with the location I mounted the switch. Apparently it was staying on with the hood shut! I couldn't tell until I was under the truck in the dark. Otherwise it looked like it was off. I went on a week long trip and when I got back the battery was dead. So the solution I came up with was to use a dowel to lengthen the post to make better contact with the hood. It was about an 8th of an inch too short for the location I mounted it. I drilled a hole in a dowel and epoxied it to the top of the switch. No issues since and now it turns off like it should!

uH, MINE TURNS OFF WITH A SWITCH INSIDE THE LIGHT ITSELF, IF i RECALL CORRECTLY.

if OEM equipment, should be just plug n play.

Husky X-act Contour Floor Mats


Grab the mat, fold it over the rear floor hump and open the floor storage lid .

Another great thing about these mats is how I do not slide around, when my boots are covered in whatever. They grip much better than my buddy's Weathertechs.

NOTE: my black mats are pretty black, just slightly less dark than my black carpet.
The pics have been highlighted, so everyone can see the mats, better.
Color is not accurate.




Now, take another look at the above image.
Notice that lifted edge, on the left side of the mat?
Runs across the open door sill?

That edge allows the mats to hold a ton of water and gunk.
If anything should get over it, which has not happened yet, the liquid just goes out the door,

Here is a closer look. that notch by the gas pedal is perfect for my foot.








FYI, I am a Railroad Engineer. You can't begin imagine the stuff I haul in, on the bottom of my Industrial work boots.










the rear floor mat is one piece. Notice how it too has a high edge, along the side, to hold in liquids?








These are called the X-Act Contours and they meant it!
Notice how well it fits.









Front passenger side Mat






See how the floor Hooks go underneath the mat?
No Holes for anything to drain through, onto the carpet.
Real important, for me. Could be gunk on the ground, year round, where I work, not to mention, all the darn Snow.

Best thing about these Mats? There are pretty pliable, for being so thick and I can easily take out a Mat, full of watery Goo and dump it on the ground. Not my Carpet.

MOPAR OEM Part # CEC1MO71AA Under Hood Light Kit -$20



Seems this was a recall parts 'kit" , not a for retail sale kit, Chrysler whipped up for 2011-2013 Sport trucks that did NOT come with the under hood & glove box lights, but should have.





The kit includes the under hood light assembly, with bulb. One push pin, to mount the light to the hood itself, 2 replacement retaining clips, for the under hood mat, the wiring harness AND one glove box light assembly.




Just pop off the two clover leaf looking clips holding the under hood mat to the bottom of the hood. ( I got by with just popping of the one but the kit comes with two new clips).

Slide the mat from underneath the retaining thingy.











Remove the bulb from the light assembly.

Mount the light assembly, with the included push pin.
When mounting the light, have the "plug in" End of the light assembly pointing up.

You can't mess it up, there is a hole and a slot, on the hood, that matches up with the back of the light itself.

Plug in the wire harness. It has two ends but only one end of it will fit the light assembly itself. It's Gofishn Proof.

Wrap from top, down the side of the mounted light assembly.


You will notice clips, on the wiring harness.

Those clips match up perfectly with holes in the hood.
Just follow them along to the hood support.

Took me about 5 minutes to do it.
Getting the bulb out of the light, so I could mount the assembly to the hood,
took me longer than anything. Was worried I would break it.

Remove the Blank Filler plug, from the electrical connector you will need.
Plug in your new light.









I was not really that impressed with the amount of light the OEM bulb gave me.
Even at night, it was Weak, Whimpy, Whambly, Whombly. So I replaced it with this one.








Got it here.

LED Bulbs - Under Hood Light and Interior Dome Light



Was so impressed with how bright that Under Hood LED bulb was. I knew I had to replace my Interior Dome Light bulb. It is the only overhead bulb I got. Need it to be Bright!

Followed along, with a great set of instructions, here.
http://www.paulstravelpictures.com/...-Dome-Light-Bulb-Replacement-Guide/index.html


Bought this bulb






From here

https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/festoon/561-led-bulb-9-smd-led-festoon-44mm-car/244/1166/

Sweet Jesus is that bright!
Turns Night, into Day, inside my truck.









If, like me, all you have is that one OEM overhead dome light, do yourself a favor and get that LED Bulb. It is Ridiculous how bright it is.

Mopar OEM Fold Flat Foor

I have an Express. So, it did not come with any fold flat floor, under my solid rear bench seat.

Saw a forum member had a set of fold flat floor pieces, for sale.
Jumped all over them, not knowing if they would work, for me, or not.
Remember, I got an Express. One solid back seat, not a split seat.
However, I did not have any compartment "floor" or "Cover", at all.
If the back seat was up, I could see the storage bins, under the seat.

Drove me Nutty. Bought them , on a Hope.

Turned out, it worked out.
Yeah, Team Gofishn!

If you too do not have a fold flat floor, don;t wait for a Member to sell one off. GO fetch one at a Junkyard.

Here is the floor, installed. Split floor, for Split seat but works, just fine, with a solid seat.
I really like having the two hard plastic "legs" that can be flipped out to support the floor.
The hold down strap works great too. No flopping around or noise, whatsoever.








To install, simply remove the Bolt, that secures the back seat itself.
See it, from Passenger side, rear door. Here it is








In the middle, since I did not have a split rear seat, I had no bolts to remove. But, I noticed that there was a cutout, in the carpet. Removed the cutout and there were my two wholes, with nuts underneath, already welded to the cab, just waiting for my to buy a couple of bolts.Which I got from my local hardware store.










Now, if you look at the picture above, you see there is an extra hole, above the bolt, where it looks like another bolt could go in. Uh uh. No hole in the floor board for it. MEthinks it is a guide pin. There are guide pins, on each side of the seat I do have.



Here is the drivers side rear door view and the bolt that holds the seat, in place, simply remove, put your floor in place and reattach the bolt.










Here is my Fold Flat Floor Mod, all opened up, ready for my Gear.










Ignore all the junk on my Husky floor mat.
I swear, I vacuum the Truck.
Really, I do,
Got a vacuum hanging on my garage wall and just used it, yesterday.

Even pulled out the floor mats, wash them down, let them dry and stuck them back.

Turn my head, for one second, and the damn things are dirty again.

For those who rarely drop their rear seat OR have Dogs they carry around,
run down to a Lumber Yard and pick up a 3X5 ft rubber mat. Works great to cover up the fold flat floor
and keeps the Dogs from getting stuck in the cup holders.

If you need the seat, toss the 3X5 mat in the bed. It ain't going anywhere.

OEM Door Cup Holders

Passenger side is Mopar part # 1LD23XXXAA - Drivers side is part # 5NN24XXXAA

What the...? My truck did not come with these either?
That simply would not DO.

Am surprised by how much the Wife and Kids like having them.
I still prefer the cup holders in the center console but, to each their own.






Just slip into the door openings.
Sure are handy little things.

For those who like a Bargain, imagine these can be found in Junkyard Trucks, by now.

 

[gofishn]

Decided I needed some foot well lighting.
Read a whole bunch about OEM Products, after market products, etc.
When I came across something that I figured even I could do.

MOPAR Part # 68305400AA , most places have it for $10 or less.
Need two of them, once for each side.

Also available, in most junk yards, out of a 1999 & up Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Got mine from one of those "Pick-n-Pull" junk yards, because I did not want to wait.





Passenger side, under the glove box, there is an cover that needs to be removed.
It is held in by 3 push pins. Use a trim tool to remove.










With that piece removed, look and see if your wire is hanging down.
Mine was over under the side panel but I am pretty sure I put it there,
after I dynamated my floorboards.

Anyway, I didn't see the OEM wire so took side panel off and there it was.
It is the wire with all the green "X"'s on it.











Now it is time to put the light, in the panel I had removed earlier.
See that boot looking form on the panel?












Grabbed a screwdriver, "just" smaller than the plug on the back of the light,
and poked a hole, dead center of the toe section of the boot.












Grab your light and wiggle in the hole you just made.

If you want, you can even put a plastic push pin in the other hole, for double down mounting.
I figure the light is tight enough, it does not weigh anything and I did have a plastic push pin.
Might get one, if the light ever does fall down, but doubt if it ever does.
She is pretty tight.











Perfect fit !!!
Here is the backside of the light, that is pretty darn tight.










Better make sure it works!










DRIVERS SIDE





This wire was readily visible.
It is the one lined with green "X"'s.
Taped to the wiring for the OBD2 port.
Simply remove that tape.










Now you see that "O"?
That is a C clip which keeps the OBD2 wiring from flopping around.
Not that there is much play in that loom, let me tell you.
I wanted to use that hole, to mount my light, so I moved that c-clip out of the way.











Better make sure this light works too!











Alright. Time to put that C-clip somewhere and call it done.












And here is both of them.
NOTE: My overhead light is an insanely bright LED.
However, at night, I found if very hard, to find anything, on the floor, unless I got out of the truck.
My legs caste too much shadow.

Doubt I have that problem anymore.
