What did you do to your Ram today???

Installed Tiger Tough front seat covers. Why...because concerned I will wear through leather bolster on drivers seat. Had to replace it once already for this issue. Was covered by Warranty after so push and shove with FCA. Good dealer support helped. Like the seat covers. Fit extremely well. Two negatives, however, they don’t make covers specific for Limited rear seats and they don’t make a console cover at this time. I have talked to manufacturer and hope this will change in the future. Compared to other major manufacturer of precision cut seat covers of this type, they are well priced.View attachment 32608
And you are fine with having to look at that instead of that lovely indigo/frost interior?
 
Had a great compare trucks meet up with @Neurobit this morning. Probably going to cost me money now that he showed off his F/R dash cam setup.

Great to meet members IRW and compare notes!

Wait - you bought the highest trim level available and then put plain jane fabric seat covers on? :unsure: How did you wear out the leather in a year- you wear pants made outta 40 grit sand paper?
 
Have the truck one week and today had tint (18front/65windsheield/70rear and back) and PPF on hood/fenders/headlights. I would post pics but got home after dark and engine light came on :mad:. Only have 135 miles on it. WTF?
Hopefully they were careful tinting the windshield. I read somewhere on here that tinters were getting electrical components wet when applying tint to the windshield and causing problems. I can’t remember the specifics. Only thought of this because you said the check engine light came on.
 
Can you provide the part numbers for all 3 dash speakers, please?
All three are the same and come in pairs, so you could split the second pair with a buddy and save $45.

Kit comes with everything you’ll need for the install if you buy from Crutchfield.

First oil change on the house from the dealer. Couple recalls. New console lid. New rack and pinion as I was getting a slight bind at the 11 o'clock position and wouldn't return to ce ter smoothly. Ordering me a new radio due to intermittent feedback between 1400-1600 rpm.

Loaded it up with the wife, 3 kids in carseats across the back, and a bed full of crap for said wife and 3 kids. Made a day trip to Rockport beach; 1000x easier than it ever was in the Durango. Those who say trucks are horrible compromises for family vehicles have never driven a new 1500 crew cab with a tonneau cover.

Yes. And I only posted same on the forum because others have had problems with their seat covers wearing on the seat bolsters as well. Don't know if this is just an isolated defect with the RAM seats or widespread. Time will tell. Hope you don't experience same...and no I don't have 40 grit pants, I was very careful in getting out of the truck because I was aware of the issue. It happened anyway...so I took this precaution.

Nice. Does WeatherTech bump stop cause parking sensors to alarm?

I'd check under your seat covers regularly, depending on the cover and your environment I've found dust and grime can get under the seat cover and act as an abrasive worse than normal wear.
