Why not one more?! Kinda a bad pic. This is a mag light holder. Got tired of it rolling about the back or getting all greasy in the toolbox. I used Velcro to stick it to the wall only because I'm a puss when it comes to drilling holes in my new truck. Bought at a local truck stop for $8.

That's a good place to put it. Mine is slid between the frame on the driver's seat and the side of the console. Mine is an FX4 with the flow through console, so I don't know if this will work for you. It's been there for all 30K miles on my truck and hasn't moved unless I was using it.

Black thunder is 100% correct. They are overlays. But in Lehmans terms, yes they are a sticker. EBay seller name is amazing decals. I found him on eBay and then we emailed back and forth so I could get the color I wanted. They said you don't have to take them off your truck but I found it way easier. Plus I had to paint the chrome. Annnddd didn't break the stubs!

Man I wish I had the flow console. I've got the dumb middle seat with little to no storage available. That is a great idea though.

This one was free to me because I already had the paint. But it would cost you about $7 for a paint. I used dupli color oxford white and clear coat. Gives a little flash to the dull sills. Also did the mirror caps as well. Pretty close color match. Close enough for mirrors and door sills.This pic shows waaaayyy to much dirt. My truck is NOT that dirty. Lol

I have the 40/20/40 seat in my crew cab and prefer it over the center console, I feel like I got lucky finding a Lariat with it. Anyway, my mag light rides in that exact spot, between the drivers seat rail and the center seat brackets. It fits there just fine!

First off thanks for the props.

I have had them screwed in like that for probably 3 years and have made trips running 70 plus with rods in there and so far no problems with the screws. If they ever give me problems I will probably replace them with blots but until then Im just going to roll with the screws. Thanks for the advice though.
