the leather cover on my 14 Limited center console is looking a little worse for wear after years of elbow patronage. It does not appear the cover itself (as opposed to the entire console) is a specific part number...or else I do not understand the online parts books.

Ideas for a replacement?

I see lids on ebay all the time from limited just search limited console lid. Check FB marketplace and craigslist as well.

There's several out there now at full price, or close to it :(. I swapped the grey to black when I did the center console swap, but really wanted a limited version. Just hard to find for a decent price usually.

For new, prices range from $550-800. Very rarely see a used one, I look all the time, especially since the audio shop dinged mine up recently :mad:

Clean and condition the leather at least 2x per year to avoid this!

Other than that, no clue where you can find one besides maybe eBay?

One popped up on ebay for a decent (relatively) price so I snagged it - it's has the older media center, but should plug right up IIRC as I had the same before I did the flow-through swap. Unless the lid only can be swapped out? Not sure.

Should complete my Bighorn to leather interior swap (other than door panels, which are ridiculously expensive for some reason)

Let us know how it goes.

I just spent 3.5 hours detailing every inch of my truck today with my Adam’s Polishes products. I spent maybe an hour and a half cleaning and conditioning the leather! Looks fresh.

Well I took apart the hinge, there's more to it apparently and I didn't feel like cracking open the lid, so I left it alone.

I did run into a snag, the lower latch had a broken tab, so would not latch closed. Of course I didn't notice until after I had it installed lol. So pulled it back out, swapped the latch from my other console and all is well. I'm going to contact the seller, but TBH it's not worth too much hassle for the price I got it for - I would not want to return it b/c I'll likely not find another at the price. But it does kinda thwart my plans to resell my standard lid. Maybe I can get a partial refund and pickup a latch for it.

Anyway, I've gone about as far as I can go with my faux Limited without replacing the door panels, but they are soooo expensive for what they are I don't see it happening, unless I just run across a super deal like I did with the Limited Lid.
