New baby we are adopting soon so the 06 will be with me for a while. Looking at doing some leather for the seats. I have done a lot of research and have come to some conclusions. Anyone have any suggestions?
Yeah, that was one of my choices. Any idea on cost to install? I know these are not covers but replacements. I can do a lot of custom work but I think I will pass on this one.
If you have bucket seats, watch Stacey David /Drag'n'Wagon/ Interior/ S5 Episode 13-1 http://staceydavid.com/projects/drag-n-wagon

I have seen some posts about Rams trucks that have come with leather & the leather was not properly cured, the leather still had some fat attached to it & caused a milky spew to come to the surface of the leather.
Just ran my 07 Quad Cab through the Katzkins page with just adding a Dodge emblem to the front seats and no other options .....almost $1100. I've been thinking about swapping over to leather too. I've been trying to find a salvage yard that has good leather out of a newer truck that's totaled out. I haven't found what I'm looking for yet, but I've gotten some "should be" quotes around $5-600. Just an idea.
nam, Ebay has some new Katzkins for $475 but only in grey. Good price but I did not like the fact that they were manufactured in 2007. I actually went with Auto Leather, Inc. Nothing wild but I got the medium slate grey with the ash inserts for $694 with Ram logos on the front seats. Take a look http://www.ebay.com/itm/190777222832?_trksid=p5197.c0.m619

You asked about Hog Rings
If you look at a chain link fence, there will be a top & bottom wire that runs between the posts. The actual chain link fence is attached to those 2 wires using Hog Rings. At the post they use a smaller wire clip.
The Hog Rings on the fence is not the smooth type that is used in upholstery work, but it is the same thing
GT.....Yeah I did some research and understand what they are and how they're used, thanks.......just did not know the difficulty in installing these in such a tight area
Seat covers arrived today and are made to order Roadwire leather. If it looks as good on as it does out of the box I will be very happy. Hopefully get them on this weekend.
I would shit if that was the case. Great reviews for the seller and these are a two tone medium grey with ash inserts. The ash is about the same color as the headliner and roof pillar trim. Also got Ram head logos on the front backs......hopefully a smooth install
