I'd like to replace my center jump seat with an oem center console in my 06. Has anyone done this? If so, how big a deal is it?, and will i be able to use the same mounting holes and hardware? Thanks

 

Its very easy. You need to remove the bottom cusion of the jump seat and you will see 4 t55 torx bolts. Remove these and the jump seat is gone. Install the console with the same 4 bolts in the same place. Its a great mod, I love my center console.

ETA: The bolts are in VERY tight. You will need to use a breaker bar or something similar. An impact wrench would work great

 

Theres a thread someplace in here telling you how to change out the jumpseat for the console. just search it . looks real easy.

 

Many have done just that, replace the jumpseat for the xlt console. I am one of them.

 

Thanks for the input . I'll do it. You can never have enough storage or cup holders. Thanks

 

If anyone could post a link to that thread, i would appreciate it. Thanks

 

ask and you shall receive

i did a search and found this....

 

Thanks lil man. appreciate it

 

No problem...I used the same thread to do my conversion so yeah i knew what you were talking about.. good luck

 

lil_man,

I notice that you have a STX. I've thought about doing this mod ('05 STX 4x4 R/C) but don't know if it'll work with manual shift.

 

It will work you just have to get a xlt console.... and here is a link that shows one.... https://www.f150online.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=330777 hope this helps...

 

Thanks to lil_man, BtownFord and NoLongerJeepin!! You guys are gurus of center console conversion! Now, if I can find a reasonably priced CC!

 

Thanks man and there are a few on ebay that i saw here is one and they are a little hard to find for cheap but you can check your local junk yard and see if they have one but i got mine from ebay... here is one link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-0...spagenameZWD1V
but i got mine from http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2007-...spagenameZWDVW
but it has a number that you can call and see if they have anymore the number is 1-479-471-1835 .... good luck with your search

 

I'll keep that one link in mind. There's a pick and pull junkyard near me. Think I try there first.

 

I never considered that swap, looks very good. If I ever see a gray one for a low price maybe i'll give a bid. I dont care console to jumpseat but it would look better. Jumpseat is a bit better for then I gotta clean the windshield though
