Had a 2019 sport s 6spd. Hated the clutch the opportunity to order a new punkin presented itself and i jumped on it. I kept some of my parts off my 2019 like the sunshade and arb twin and some other items. After having the new one for a day i painted the dash. So much better. Then realized that i hated the rest of the red and set out to get rid of as much as possible. Still have the steerring wheel and locker buttons to go other then that the red is gone.

They are from Katzkin. Excellent people to work with. GO on their website and you can design them hundreds of different ways. Mine are single diamond, with grey stitching. Orange piping and the carbon fiber inserts. The rubi name is done in orange, they have each generation of the name, so i just had them do the one for the 23. Katzkin reached out to me on the phone, to confirm the order. They can add heated seats, or cooled. Mine has heat from the factory. For the price of the cooled i opted not to do them. My covers were 2300 shipped, tax and install. When you order they will find you an installer that is certified. Make sure if you order to tell them which seat backs your fronts have. even tho i told them, they still shipped the wrong ones. they remade them and over nighted them. My install should have taken a day and a couple hours, however due to issues with the installer it took considerably longer. Love my seats though, and they are comfortable.

Okay thanks... and the $2300 including install was for front and back. I have a two door with back seats removed. Will assume I would be in for about half. Will check them out... thanks.

I assume you are very happy with the fit and finish?

Hey man, so I was talking to you on the other thread, and mentioned I had some other questions...

For instance, I see you have the Oracle Flush mount tail lights, which I've also been wanting, but I don't love the panel that says "Oracle" on it, but I see you had an answer for that too! Can you walk me through what you did there? Do those panels pop out or did you have to cut them out and custom do your own thing?

Also, I love the Katzkin seats. I ended up getting the stock brown leather when I ordered the jeep this time, but in the past I've done Katzkin seats on my F150 and they were great. That price you listed, especially since it's installed, isn't really that bad either.

I also see you have the tailgate table, which I've been looking at different ones. Which one do you have here? Also, any issues with it rattling while driving or being super loud?

tail lights, yes those are the oracles. i felt the same, did not like the panel w the company name. another company that is here on the forums called Threedom is where i got the inserts. basically you take apart the back of the tail light, the oracle labeled panel comes out, new one goes in. the screws are very small and tight. so be careful you dont strip the head. as you can see i painted mine. the plan was to do them in orange. however i was having a hell of a time getting the paint to come out right. I got pissed threw them in some laquer thinner to strip them. washed in dawn and shot them w the gold and wellah it worked lol. i used a dental tool to scrape the eyes and mouth out. I love the way they came out. Threedom has tons of different designs for those panels, as well as other parts they make.

Katzkins, love them. Totally makes the interior. they are comfortable, and look great. The best part, I dont think anyone else will end up with that design. at least i hope so. lol.


the table is the Front Runner table. i got it from northridge which i believe they are out of stock right now. that table does not rattle at all. it has a little rubber bumper right in the middle so it doesnt rattle. I didnt feel like spending massive amounts for a table with a damn logo on it. the only thing that is annoying is the cutting board feels like it rubs on the jeep paint when i slide it out. im not sure if their is anything that can be done about that. I do like the table.

Awesome man, thanks so much for the info. I'm going to check both Threedom and Northridge out for those things. Good job on your build, it looks great. I'm still fairly early on in mine, but have a lot of ideas of what I want to do over time.

Last question. Where did you find these decals with the gold outline? The matte black with gold looks good and might be a good addition for mine, but of the decals I've come across, they don't have the right gold around it....I want it to at least closely match that of the 392 gold I have going.

Pixel decals. Another vendor on the forum did them. The pumpkin head is custom i added the devil horns. He also did the hood decals. Great guy to work with and i was parked next to my buddies 392 and my decals matched his.
