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!

At your age I'd have expected your fingers to be capable of pulling indefinitely..
Yup, the seats are awesome and worth some pain. I'm lucky I can do that stuff myself. I'm sure the day will come when I still want to but I am unable to.
No shame in getting a pro to do it! You're still making your ride unique and better than factory....and thanks again to the OP for bringing up this source of consoles! Apologies for the derailment.

A console should be a requirement if you put leather in. That was the biggest PITA in the whole process and I still don't think it looks right

But i get so many Compliments on my Interior and truck it really dosen't matter to me I have the most Options you can get on a XLT, so its Comfey truck!! id say the only thing I miss is the shifter in the console.
But I'll be hiding one of my alpine amps in the console, so it works for me!.....lol

painted and love it, was a lil pricey 315 total and 16 for the 2 paint cans. Self tapping screws are possible, but would def. take bolts out of seat and pull back makes easier for screws$clean up

Question: can you get Chrome trim rings for the cup holders on the console???
The other thing I want to do is put leather and padding on the lid like the King ranch and do an Oval with XTR in it and stiching on both sides.......should look good i think.........plus i might raise the console so its a better arm rest......lol
