NEW RAM ACCESSORY COMPANY: SKT CUSTOMS

I would never say never, but as of now we don’t really have plans for that. Our goal really is to provide unique options that you can’t find anywhere else. We really have no interest in copying ideas just to make money, so unless we can think of a way to make it substantially better or make the install much easier with our own product, then we’ll just focus on other ideas we have that are uniquely ours :) Hope you understand!
Totally understandable. I’m not sold on those examples I mentioned and not looking for copy cats. I like what you guys are doing so keep up the good work! I look forward to seeing the new brackets.
 
@SKT Customs, Have you considered making:
1. A version of your lower grill where the center mount is sized for a hidden front hitch receiver instead of a 3" pod? Or maybe one would fit through as is? Not sure if anyone makes one that would sit far enough in, but maybe that could be part of it. The ones I've seen like the Ecohitch replace the grill insert with the crossbar mounted forward with chain/recovery D rings on the sides. If the crossbar was further tucked in and didn't have the chain/recovery rings, there would still be room for the other four lights. You don't need those rings for basket winches or 99% of other front hitch uses anyways. I've seen some posts with guys trying to decide between your 5 light grill vs a hidden winch like the Vice one - maybe there's a market for basket winch users here? I know I'd be interested.

2. A switch panel for the sunglasses holder? NH Overland makes the one for Auxbeam 8 light controllers that tucks away and closes up to look like it's still the sunglasses holder, but what about making one that replaces the sunglasses holder so that the switches are exposed and cool looking like your center console one?
 
I recently joined the SKT Lower Grille club and couldn't be happier with how it all came together. Some may have already came across my post within my build thread, but for those that haven't, here is some photos with SKT's kit designed specifically for Strands Siberia pods. I also attached two photos showing the light output with the pods. The first photo is just my factory headlights, and the second photo is obviously showing the output of the pods. I am running Strands Siberia QB pods, but this kit will also work with the Strands Siberia RP cubes, and possibly a couple other models from Strands. You'll definitely want to verify sizing and fitment if you choose to go with anything other than the QBs or RPs though.

Awesome quality all around and I cannot wait to see what else SKT has lined up for us in the Ram community.

We have an idea for the switch panel one that plays on that concept but will be even more useful and universal 🙂 Stay tuned. As far as the winch one, we don’t have any plans for that.
 
Hey everyone I just wanted to pop in with an update that currently ALL products on our site are IN STOCK and ready to ship 😁 We’ve been working so hard to get ahead of the demand and we finally have a good amount stocked up for you all! Thanks!
 
Just got a surprise package from SKT/Vice Design. The updated 2023 Etorque auxbeam mount just showed up at my door. They sent it after refunding my prior order. Amazing service. I don’t have time to mount it this week but I did do a dry fit and it will work perfectly. Thnx very much.

Sweet! I’m glad you got it. Vice Design did great and promptly made that new design so I’m excited that 2023+ trucks can get in on the action!

Hey guys, we’re SKT Customs - a new USA based company focusing on 5th Gen 1500 premium accessories - and we wanted to introduce ourselves here on the forum!

We’re no strangers to the forum; our founder @5thgen.ram has been active on here for years, and we’ve kept note of what members like yourselves are interested in! We started this company specifically to offer unique products for the 5th Gen community that you can’t find anywhere else. Our products are designed and produced by us here in the states, and we offer free shipping in the states (and will ship internationally if you email us).

Our first product we created is the SKT Customs Lower Grille + LED Mount Kit! This kit is a full bolt on solution to mount 3” LED pods in the lower grille of your Tradesman, Bighorn, Laramie, Longhorn, or Limited trucks!
This kit comprises of an OEM style replacement grille with 5 holes machined into it to fit 3” pods like Baja Designs Squadrons or Auxbeam Pods; 3 Heavy Duty Laser Cut and Powdercoated Steel Brackets, and all the necessary hardware to bolt up to existing holes on the truck.
This is an extremely straight forward install that takes most people less than an hour to complete (minus wiring the lights to the battery or switch panel)! Make sure to check out our website for all the details!

Our second product we designed and produce in-house is our Center Console Inserts! These inserts are made with precision down to 4 thousands of an inch to ensure they fit perfectly in the center console of your Ram Bighorn, Laramie, and Rebel (1500s AND HDs). We wanted an OEM appearance, so we manufacture these out of durable black ABS plastic and apply 3 coats of Matte Clear Coat on top of the textured surface to mimic the factory black plastics as closely as possible. As an added bonus, we incorporated an opening towards the rear so you can still access the factory coin slots or reach items underneath the insert without having to remove it. We currently offer these in a few different styles:
Dual Cupholder with Accessory Pocket Console Insert
Jumbo Dual Cupholder Console Insert with two massive 3.75” Diameter Cupholders
And
Center Console Auxiliary Switch Panel Mount for 8 Gang Switch Panels

And if you purchase our switch panel mount you will receive a special link and code via email for 20% off an 8 gang multi-function switch panel! That drops the price down to only $135 for the panel!

Further, we’ve partnered up with Vice Design - another Ram accessory maker - to offer their new Aux Panel Engine Mount to secure your relay box under the hood safely and out of the way! To celebrate this SKT x VICE collaboration we’re offering a 20% discount on our interior switch panel mount when you purchase a Vice Design Engine Bay Mount! Just add both of them to your cart and the discount will apply automatically. AND you will still receive the 20% off code to purchase your switch panel as well!

We’re already designing more products and will be partnering with other industry leaders in the very near future so make sure to follow us on Instagram @skt.customs and bookmark the website SKTCustoms.com for all the latest products!

Thank you guys in advance for the support.
Happy Modding!
