Lots of people have. The 4 bolts that hold down the center seat also hold down the center console. There is no single part number for the console and it's fairly pricey to piece the console together from new parts. Your best bet is to find a used one. Here is a photo of mine that I picked up a little over a year ago from eBay. I paid around $200 which was reasonable at the time but seems to be on the high side now days. The console was definitely worth the money and is still one of my best mods.

I have the Xlt console I got off of e-bay. 4 bolts to remove the seat and the same bolts to mount the center console. Very easy. Sorry no part #s.

If you click my sig and go to the Fire rescue thread, I have a few pics of the install. It is one of my favorite mods!

Just unbolt the seat and bolt up the console. Piece of cake.

I sure wish there was a tan XLT console on eBay. I'd be on it like bees to honey.

I'd bid sensibly. Anything over $200 would be way too much. Heck, anything over $175 and I would be out.

Good console bidding strategy. Still it's a hot commodity for some.

I ordered my first one from car-parts.com. I did not get what I ordered and the condition was terrible. I resold that one and took a hit on it because of the condition. I like eBay better because I can see some photos of what I was getting.
