I was very skeptical of the consoles on Ebay, most of them are beat up and they want top bucks for them, but i found a seller with 130 in stock and they are 99% perfect.
It came with all four cup holders,ashtray and new mat.


It is a great upgrade for the extra storage space.
I'm thinking of doing the same upgrade, care to share the sellers name?

Thanks. That's the view from my front yard. Wouldn't want to live anywhere else.

Topped off tire air pressure (they drop when the weather gets cool). Lubricated door, tailgate, and spare tire locks.

20 for sure. I have 35 on my front two, not dark enough, never been pulled over or asked about my 35. I do have the back tinted 35 also though so that probably makes the front look lighter in retrospect.

Topped off air pressure the other day and got 23 cents and a paperclip out of my driver side door pannel, found some of my rattling, lol.

You guys run about 37 38 ish psi in your load range e tires (terra grapplers)?

And this afternoon my brother and I filled the shifter hole in my new Flow Through console using some styrene from a model shop and a roll of carbon fiber from AutoZone. I think it classes the truck up without giving it a cheap, ricer-like interior (he wanted to CF my radio and door panels too, to which I put a quick NO to).

Checked on the status of my soaked driver's side carpet :/
Day two of trying to diagnose and locate a cabin leak, truck in garage, carpet propped up, and a fan on it, trying to dry it out. Actually went to a local dealership yesterday, seeing if anything sparked my interest, to trade for. [sigh]
