What other options fo we have out there? I did a search and really couldnt find what I was looking for. I have a 07 FX4 Screw and dont really like the plastic lid. is there a replacement or a cover with FX4 embroidered in it or something that's better than what I have?

 

TTT, is the Lariat Lid my only option? Not that it's a bad one.....

 

I installed an extra lid that I had from doing the center console conversion on my Reg cab truck. The lid that came with the truck '05 FX4 felt too hard for my tastes and I rest my elbow on it most of the time. The lid I swapped it out with came off of a center console that I bought off ebay and it looks like leather...I don't think it actually is though. But it has quite a bit more give to it when you rest your arm on it.

 

Saw a Harley lid on eBay a week or so ago, as far as I know that's it for options. It looked like a better grade cover, but I'm not certain it's any different. I wouldn't mind having a better lid, but it's needs to be gray.

 

I took my standard XLT center console lid (captain chairs) down to a local automotive upholstry shop. Had them add a few inches of high-density foam, and cover it in black leather (the real stuff). Looks better, but more importantly, it feels better to my elbow.


BTW, I've since changed out the handle to a black one. Looks good!

 

I have the lariat lid and I find it comfortable on the elbow.

 

I also traded up for the lariat lid when i did the LT handle swap, very nice imo!

 

where do you get these???

Great idea! May I ask how much and where the shop is that did the work? (I will be in SoCal later this month and would like to have mine done while I am there.)

 

Lariat lid and Harley lid are two Ford options. I like the Lariat lid and me and my bro installed them on our trucks. The Harley lid was the same shape - squared off - as the FX4 but much nicer, I liked the rounded Lariat one.

 

It called Bates Upholstery, and it's in Riverside. I can't recall the exact price, but I think it was around $50.

 

I actually ordered a Lariat Lid... When it comes it I'll compare the two and see if it's really worth making the swap!

 

this link wont work for me?
anyone have the part number for the harley lid? and where it can be found online?
