Hot off the plane from China. Took a couple weeks because I did a custom build and not their US-stocked off the shelf ones. This looks like a really nice kit. It's real leather. I'm pretty excited about it. I'm also really happy that they completely got rid of the center stripe. I was concerned it would be the same pattern and they'd just put a black strip where the red one normally is.



I also finally got one of the seats up and cleaned properly. I can't believe these are ~110,000 mile seats. They look great. The marks on the bottom are just the nap of the alcantara. There's barely a scuff on these things.

Noice

It's going to be awesome!

That’s gonna be a pretty dang nice truck.

When forced induction?

You want him to compound turbo it?

push?

the only thing that does is drag mopars off the highway after they break a valvespring. or wipe a cam. or kill a lifter and then wipe a cam. or break a balljoint. or the TIPM decides to check out. then after all this you cant get into it to do anything other than read codes because they set up a gateway to require a subscription for any access to "modifications". yes, clearing codes requires a subscription for special access.

Wat? Ford's 2.7 is probably the most reliable truck engine for the last 10 years.

break instead of brake and missed a period.

I have a feeling it may have been a bit more spicy.

Started on the wheel this afternoon. When they say stretch the cover over the wheel, they're not kidding. This thing is tight. But that's a good thing. It's less likely to move around once it's fully installed. It was definitely a challenge.



The stitching wasn't all that tough. I found a really good YouTube video showing how to do the start and end knots. It was still a little tricky, but I think I did a good job for a first time. The big loose ends will be cut a bit shorter and tucked away under the switch bezel once it's all finished.

That looks great!

Damn I could never do that stitching. Detail work is the bane of my existence. Nice!
