got mule?
I got a console 5 yrs ago or so for my 05 off car-part. Locating one on there is fairly simple, calling those places isn't always fun. I recall calling a few of them and getting people who had no idea how I found out they had the console or what shape it was in or just generally someone who shouldn't be allowed on the phone period. I waited until I found a guy willing to go out and take pictures to email. They were also willing to ship across country, some were local pickup only.

Wow the katzskin look great. How much did it cost if you don't mind? I think leather is the #1 thing I miss from my old FX4. The cloth in my current XLT trim sucks, I hate how they stain so easily and it's impossible to clean. The coffee stain I have are pissing me off hahaha
I hada Custom shop do the Moon Roof and the Katzkin.......turned out better then I expected!!

Only issue I found is that it isn't 100% accurate. A few replied stating they didn't have the part even though it was listed on the website.
Overall I'm excited for my console, they are knocking some $ off since it's a bit worn, but I'm planning to dye it anyways so that's a non issue.

I may not be a grandpa but I did the Katzkins too like sllydderrr (he was my inspiration for it 
) Did the install myself and with the heaters off ebay it cost me $830 total 
Only pic I have right now on photobucket but the colors match almost perfectly on my 09. Did my dad's 05 too but with a Pecca kit and it didn't turn out as good. But his is a purely work pickup so it's not too big of a deal.

I wanted to do the Install myself, but in my situation it would be Impossible, I was rear ended 5 yrs ago in my Jeep sitting at a stop sign and ended up with Nerve and muscle damage to shoulders, fore arms and hands, and left side and Back, so im kinda Hooched...lol...but getting better! Ive always done my Mods since i was 15 yrs old I miss doing the work I try but most times i have to end getting help or go to a shop!
Ohhhhhh well life goes on hahahahaha, do the best we can!! I stive to prove the Health care wrong! and get off disablity I love havin toys...LOL
