I didn't. All those do is end up cutting their way through to your thigh Originally Posted by BlackLightning

I had it done on mine after seeing others recommend it on LR. I put rubber hose over it and then a piece of foam over that to prevent it from cutting through the bolster. It helps keep the shape so you don't end up with a floppy bolster over time.

I thought I told you I had some extra criss-cross vinyl that you could've covered the lid with. It'll match the leather inserts on the seats. Lemme know if you want a lid sized piece of it

Can't speak for the others but I'm just happy to see someone 'doing her right' for that poor truck. Previous owner was a tard. Originally Posted by OxmanWI

Thats a perfect picture to give you a tip on... See the leading edge of the console, where it will butt up against the black floor vent surround in the truck? DO yourself a favor and cut the white plastic piece inside the console so that the console will mount flush against the floor vent surround. Just that little 1/2" x 1" corner white triangle on both sides will do. This will make it MUCH easier to slide the console forward and lock into the mounting brackets. Apparently the expy's dont have the same flat surround. On mine, that little white corner that sticks out was making it really hard to slide the console forward. If I would've forced it, it may've even preloaded enough force in the bind to crack the black plastic piece on a big bump. Originally Posted by OxmanWI

You can take a look once I get it out of storage and see what you think. I originally had standard black leather on mine... this looks WAY better
