i got mine from a buddy, but you can get them anywhere. i know the local junk store has sets for cheap, like 6 bucks.

 

got my dash back from paint tonight, got all the vitals in enough to run her, still need to source a bezel and a ashtray from a fx4 and a column cover. it's getting there.

 

that dsg looks siiiiick, I really like it

 

hey atom where did you fine your shifter, chrome shifter plate and the gray piece that goes around it all with the cup holders, mine is all scratched up and would like to replace it.
Thanks

 

i know i like it too, can't wait to see it all done. i bought the fx4 radio bezel and ashtray last night. the dealer should have my column surround in next week, that's going to paint ASAP. decal shop in town is a making the XLT into a sticker than will fit into the PRDN21 slot to fill that in. gonna me making a edge mounting coming from the A-pillar. busy, busy

i bought all my stuff offline. shifter and chrome plate are not available separately, you will have to buy the whole shifter assembly. i know you can buy just the gray trim pieces from the dealer, not cheap but they will match.

 

If you dont mind me asking, where might i find the shifter assembly online, looked on ebay but couldnt find one, also do you know what the piece is called that has the cup holders.
Thanks

 

Your progress is very impressive ATOM. Great work, love the DSG. Looking forward to your results. Too bad my truck is my only vehicle.

 

damm I hate my console shift.Im long and it takes away my leg room. I hate it I thought about selling the truck becuase of it.

 

i got a real nice xlt dash sitting in the shed, got the shifter, the column surround, pretty simple swap. my truck is 90% done, my column cover is coming in tomorrow, the "XLT" lettering will be done wednesday and the console lid is up in the air. it took me a total of 7 hrs total in and out, like legos.

funny thing is i may trade this one is sooner that i thought, time will tell.

 

You been busy since I went to bristol for race weekend. Great work pal.

 

thanks, but i wanna get it finished already, but it is fine getting high of paint fumes daily though, lol. i got my eye on a mark lt they got at the local dealer, grey everything but a moon, hmmmm but i really wanna build my truck to look like this, but i am afraid of getting it parked due to being illegal

 

I'm with you on this one.... I passed up 3 trucks because they had console shift. And the girlfriend loves being able to sit in the middle . I cant believe all these guys installing them... but I do like the paint jobs

 

why is this illegal?

 

in every state lift laws very, in WI. where i live, any truck under 8000 gvw cannot be lifted over a total of 9 inches. so 37's - 31's= 6 /2=3+8 inches of lift. 11 inches of lift, 2 inches over. that's alot of cash to put out and might get it parked. i mean if i wanna do it right, i should go with the fabtech and crank the coils, so that if i were to get a ticket, i can uncrank them and stuff my 35's back on, get the ticket signed off and head back home, crank em back up and throw the 37's back on
but the law states 5 inches of suspension and 4" over on radius for the tires, soooo i would be breaking the law i guess, like judas priest

 

do they really watch that though?
