500 bucks, what mod to do?

Not a chance. Unless someone sells theirs secondhand, that or get "faux" leather

 

Exactly. They have back options as well and OP claims the leather is genuine and better than OEM. I'm guessing these are at least $800. I bought my Wet Okoles for $200 in good used condition, they are about $600+new.

 

Privacy concerns and anonymity on the internet. Not like you don't display it everywhere you drive, though.

Might keep somebody on the internet from trolling you without your knowledge, though.

 

The seat covers in the post are synthetic leather:

 

LED conversion to the rears, fronts and interiors. Just finished my rears and previously did my interiors. Love the LEDs. Check out JumpersLEDs for info. Good dude, good prices, great product.

Oops, my bad. You're right. I must have skimmed that, this is what I was referring to:

 

Hence the "faux" leather. I personally wouldn't want to go for cheap on leather, got to do it right the first time. Don't see how that's in any way "supposed to be better" than real leather.

 

There are quite a few WO deals in the 2nd Gen marketplace. OP you haven't posted in a while, what did you have in mind?

 

Well yes, brand new Clazzio seat covers with the leather inserts cost $500 new. Of course full leather upholstery replacement like Katzkin would cost a lot more, but that's not what we're talking about.

 

Sliders or skids.

 

I understand the point of skids but they seem at the very end of the "need" spectrum. All that money and weight, I'll just not straddle rocks for the time being. I would only use them on a dedicated rig. Sliders on the other hand, are useful as a step (not to mention they look a lot better) and panel protection. If you have a lift and tires, odds are you need a step. You could have gotten trail gear sliders during their free shipping event for 230, floor liners for 130, and had 140 to save up for seat covers.

 

Thanks for all the input guys! Weather techs should arrive Tuesday. Now I'm trying to figure or what front covers to get.

I also have my old rims and rugged fails of CL hoping to get sliders when those sell...

My opinion based on the picture of your truck, with out a doubt color matched grille. It changes the whole look of the truck, much cleaner. Especially if you debadge the door emblems.

That sale price is awesome, considering you can sell your chrome one for the same price if not more on ebay!
My chrome one I started low on a 10day auction and got $220.



I see you already bought weathertechs, which is a fantastic mod, but next time you got a little more $$ I think sliders are the best mod out there.
I paid $300 for sliders shipped, DOM with kickout from 4xinnovations. But the next step depends on your skill level. My buddy does powder coating and I can weld, so it was no issue, but even if you got to pay someone, totally worth it. It's REAL protection for your rig, and doubles as badass looking steps.
Can't believe people actually call nfab steps "light duty sliders" or any protection for that matter.

nice looking truck OP! Opinions on here are great but remember your money your truck, make it yours!

 

Good call on the grille! Didn't see my color on the link though. Planning on dipping the emblems once the Oregon rain goes away for a day rather than debadging.
