hehe, that's a friends Ram, we are gonna fit it with Leather SLT ram seats,
they are the heated, power driver/pass seats with the ram head stitched in
the headrests.....I could probably modify them to fit in my 'Kota, but they
have integrated seatbelts in the headrests, i'm still workin' on it though!!
I'll put some pics of your truck up, if thats ok with ya!!

>>>I also didn't know that all of these cars for all over the world are all

>>>Our tour group was rather small (around 12 people), which I rather liked.
