My OBS XL with a 5 speed has 4 cupholders - a pair that pops out under the right center A/C vent and a pair in the center armrest.

I did find a nice center console that sits on the middle seat that has storage and cup holders on JCwhitneys site. Might check that out.
I thought that might be it. And, yes, some things that were standard on my XL are now either optional or not available. AC was standard on mine. Chrome bumpers, cloth seats, *cup holders* , polished panels behind the doors, and there's one less seat belt to sit on, mine doesn't have the one in the center. Automatic trans was also standard along with the 4.6 V8.

When I bought mine, it had only the sliding rear window as an option. I had the CD player, side steps and cruise installed. I installed the bed rug, grille guard and tonneau cover. I also installed the entire tow package option (won't do that again!)

You might want to either find an arm rest in a junk yard, or order one from a 04 directly from Ford. They take a *lot* of pressure when someone sits in the middle and I've not had really good luck with J C Whitney's quality.

All in all, I'm very happy with this vehicle. Hope you like your's, and have as good luck with it, as mine!

Took some shots of my truck today so I thought I would share them since you guys helped me out with my choice. So far I put some nicer OEM wheels on, tinted the windows and installed some AVS vent-visors. I am very pleased with my truck and happy with the way it looks. Thanks!!

Thanks Blonde!! Actually Im not really into the whole lift thing. Especially on a 2WD. This is about as far as this truck is going. Maybe a couple of other little things. Its just mainly my back and forth to work truck. Yours looks pretty sweet!!

BlueOval...bugshield is the very next thing on my list.
