Hey rotwiler, have you found any cover trim options for the chrome trim I've red arrowed in this generic pic? It's the only part of the interior of my Sport I'd like to do something with.

I noticed a new center console cover on amazon I had not seen before . I bought one a few weeks ago(neoprene) fit is good, but is thin. So decided this new one I found, looks fitted and better quality, so decided to order, was about $19 when I ordered, but went up a little(there was $2 off coupon when I ordered). Now this neoprene cover is much thicker, almost as thick as my neoprene seat covers, fit perfect and can tell is better quality, fitted for handle too, but mine is covered due to the old cover is still on.

I free thing to do also, if you have a problem with the center console handle coming out of its hinge area. Mine every few months would be crooked and not latch, took apart several times and there is a plastic pin on each side and fits into a hole, one side pops out from slamming console etc, then will not latch. Take console apart, find a small plastic washer, cut slit in washer, enough to slip washer over the pin on the opposite side that pops out. Doesn't need to be thick. Then will put more pressure on the bad side and stops the latch from poping out.

I did get the handle covers too lol They sent 3, not going to buy a set for a single one for all 4, but they look good, expected 2, so no complaints.

If anyone has a console or storage solution that fits on the hump between the driver and passenger foot wells, I'd be interested in seeing what you have! My truck does not have the OE middle console (something I wish I had).

For a console cover I have really liked this one. www.amazon.com/Car-Console-Covers-Plus-Embroidered/dp/B0766483BH/r the built in pockets come in very handy.

Yes, rough country. Think is $180 for set, front and back. They only have the rear covers if you have a split bench with armrest in middle. My truck doesn't have armrest, but I bought a rear and comes this week, will see if I can fill in armrest and make it work. fronts alone are about $110. Customer service guy was excellent when I contacted him last week, went above and beyond to help me. Most neoprene custom fit covers like that are $30er0 area for just fronts, so complete set for $180 is nice, plus they feel great and fit great. Changed my trucks interior look a lot, from lighter gray to dark gray/black, I like it.

This is one of my favorite cheap upgrades. This size fits perfectly in the lid of the center console if you have the bench seat.

I have the rebel style grill on my truck with the 3 amber LEDs, found white ones for under $10 for all 3, they were wired pos and neg wrong so I just switched sides.

How did you wire the LED lights. I'm considering using a fuse tap. Wondering what others did since grill does not come with instructions on wiring.

Bumped this thread to keep it going. Great info and ideas. I was looking for seat belt pads and now have added the grab handle pads to my search as well. Thanks for the tips!
