    Detailing tip

    I have always used Blue Coral wash and microfiber towels, with great results. I also use a cordless blower (with a padded end to prevent accidental scratches) to remove excess water from the exterior. As with top-coats, there are many available products out there. I'm sure any name-brand will...

    Installed my new Vision 20X9, 18 offset rims and Cooper Discoverer ATS 4S tires in factory size 275-55-20. Tires run pretty smooth with very minor road noise over the stock Bridgestones.

    I installed Pro Suspension's 2" lowering coils on the rear of my Ram this week, as well as the Magnaflow muffler kit from B2Fabrication. The coils were fairly easy to install. It took about an hour and a half, using a set of coil spring compressors. The coils currently lowered the rear about a...

    Tint/ protection recommendations

    I live in the south, too. If you are a do-it-yourselfer, precut tint is available. I ordered a precut set of ceramic tint, 20%, for my two front door windows off of ebay (from filmvantage) @$42 and installed it myself. He has several shades and qualities of film at reasonable prices. This was...

    Katzkin installation

    Cottamscout2, thanks for posting these pictures and tips on leather installation. Looks like a great job! I put leather in a 12 GMC Sierra a few years ago, and it was not that hard, but it did take up a hole day. The GMC seats did not require hog rings for install, they had a plastic fastening...

    Tailgate light bar

    I wondered about that 6-inch harness , too, djwdjw. I actually purchased a separate 5-wire harness that I didn't have to use. The Curt 5-way worked perfectly The triple LED bar is really cool!

    How are the cloth seats?

    These deluxe cloth seats in the Bighorn are very comfortable, and the material has a very "tight" feel to it, like it's not going to stretch out. I am a leather person, but, I've got to say, these are very nice buckets!
