How was the install? Any tips?

seriously it was the easiest install for me. I do not have a power seat so I have two parrallel bars which happens to match the dimension of the bolt hole in th console. All I had to do was center it between seat and center punch bolt holes drill and bolt up. I did not hook up the power points yet. Prep work took much longer than the actual install. It comes tan so I died it gray, then had to assemble the console. Remove old seat consolw, vacuum, assemble console, install and reinstall seat floor bolts took maybe 1.5 hrs and that includes a couple of smoke breaks.

The history....

Well the truck was a dually when I bought it. White with a metallic dark blue stripe.
Didn't need a dually, just got a good deal on it, so I swapped the rear axle, bed, and front hub/rotors. The new bed was a different color and my factory paint on the cab looked like crap.

So I did some body work on the bed, primered it, painted everything white, and I love the white with red stripe look...

So I did the cab with the red... but then the weather got bad and I hanv't had a chance to finish. I don't have a garage or a shop to work in.

Semper Fi!!!

How did you apply the white to the front grill? did you spray over the chrome or get a black xl grill to paint?

I was thinking of whiting my grill out.
