Very, very nice door panels. Your upholstery guy has a great eye for design.

Re: slight change to the crew cab

Quick question. Have you tried to pull your fifth wheel with this yet. Im looking for a tow pig and this one might be an option for me depending on what I hear these crewcabs are capable of pulling...

I know I could pull it, I just can not get high enough to hook up.. I sould have just sold my trailer and bought a bumper pull. I have pulled my car loaded car trailer, about 5500 lbs total like there is nothing behind, 75MPH...

Mine is all still one ton suspension, huge air bags on the 4 link on the rear, I think my shocks are the limiting factor for travel, up at least..

Re: slight change to the crew cab

I think its going to take me a while to get used to the lighter color of the interior, but I do like the smell of all the leather.

I think I m going to darken up the carpet kick also..
