I like that a lot. Great work.

You should put gauges or an aux input type thing where the rear ac controls are.

You should et a piece of frosted plexi glass with a ford logo on it to fit that hole then put blue LEDs behind it lol I think that'd look sick. Or put a filler panel in with some powerpoints.

I'd love to do it in my truck, it looks so sweet. I'd take out the front temp controls and put my off road light switch panel in there and maybe some kind gauge.

I may have read over it but how easy was the swap from regular to expedition console? any difficulty?

That was very simple the holes are already in your truck no matter if you had a console or if you have a bench like I did. All you need is a 10mm x 1.50 tap and a 12mm x 1.75 tap and matching bolts with lengths of 25mm. If you don't already have the taps you can buy them at your local autozone or someplace like that. I bought a five tap set with handle for $9 and it had both of those sizes in it.

I did the whole swap by myself in about five hours. It would have been quicker if my new seat was from an expy that was new than my truck and had a different motorized seat plug so I had to swap the mounting brackets that have the motors attached from my old driver seat to the newer one. Svtperformance.com has a great write up on how to do this which is what I followed.
