Very Nice! Now look what you have started! The price of these flow through consoles will double in price as we all do the same mod.

 

Thanks expy! I agree on that! Heck, the Ebay OEM leather seat covers have already gone up in price since I first purchased, probably in part to us site members!

 

As far as making the flow thru vents work, i think its as simple as an extra piece of duct. And as far as putting the shifter in place, that too is very do-able. Not the easiest thing ive ever done, but far from impossible. The wiring is fairly simple if you have any understanding of electricity. and the shifter itself is cable operated, so thats a piece of cake. I think the hardest part will be fabbing up something to finish it, like a couple others on here have. this is my first post, so I dont know how to add pics but im going to give it a stab.guess i aint smart anuff to do that. there is one pic in my gallery .

 

It sounds like you've done the full conversion? Can you post a link to your gallery? As far as posting pics, right click on your link to where your picture is hosted, click on the little yellow mountain icon above and paste your link in the box that pops up, or put all your pics in your gallery here and link us to it. I am very interested in how you did this or any info you have as I am sure a lot of others here would be as well.

 

where did you get the leather cover for the armrest. i that something i can buy on ebay or something. i have the fx4 and it has the cheap looking rubber center armrest and the leather one looks sweet.

 

Actually, that armrest on my new XLT center console came from the lariat flow thru console that I bought off of Ebay. I bought the flow thru console to get the nice armrest and the better looking trim. So.....I didn't actually cover the armrest, just bought the nicer one. Here's a link to the auction...... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MEWN%3AIT&rd=1

 

It looks great,, I painted my base black as well. I also painted the top covers silver to match my silver vents.. I take a pic tonight and post it..

 

Thanks! Nice man, look forward to the pic!

 

Here a couple pics off my cell phone, The silver does match the vents. I'm just not sure if I'm going to keep the top covers silver, I might repaint them black

TCC, that looks great man I think the silver gives off a great contrast. All black miiiiight be a bit dreary, but either way, I like it and GREAT job! Amazing what a little spray paint will do for these XLT consoles.

 

TCC is that the flint console or the pebble one? it might just be the pictures but it looks really light... the sides look badass painted black. how do you like the flint interior with the dark leather seats?

how much work was it to replace the cloth with the leather, and how long would you say it took to do?

 

will that leather kit work with an xlt truck. i don't think that i have the fold down armrest in the backseat?!? i also looked on ebay for the console today and found one that had the full length to the dash, but none for the xlt?

thanks,
rusty

 

yeah, they have the kits on ebay for the ones without the rear armrest.

ebay auction for leather covers w/o rear armrest

yeah, i saw the same one, for $80 it could be a good parts piece, but i'd rather just find one thats exactly what i want... i've only been looking for a few days now so one is bound to pop up sooner or later.

 

That isn't quite right--those covers are designed for the armrest, it just isn't included in the auction.
