Nice job, but you did not hook up the power outlet that you disconnected from the original arm rest. Otherwise, awesome video

I did not hook one up because I still need to get one to put back into the new console, I keep forgetting about it to be honest.

Golden! Had my 2005 since new, only 45K miles. Gonna keep it to the grave, but want to give it a small facelift. This was the first "easy" upgrade I was gonna do. Finally gulped, paid the money, and got a new one off Ebay, and went out to do the 5 minute change out just like you. Two days later I found your video. Only thing I'm a little disappointed about is there seems to be a bunch of different variations on the console. Mine is the gray vinyl but with cheap looking fabric down the sides, yours looks like a nicer version. With what I paid for mine, I would have thought it was the premo line. Anyway, I appreciated the heck out of the video, and just based on it, I subbed to the channel.

Thank you for the sub!! I got lucky on this one, it's not a high level console but I do like how well it matches my interior and I agree there is no way I'm setting rid of this truck either.

Thankz man! Exactly what i need to do to mine.

This is amazing great job

I really appreciate the video..i have a old second generation with a g56 and the bm short shifter..i going to try to find a 4 gen center console..Because of the cup holders ..looks good thanks

So correct me if I'm wrong here but don't you now have 6 useless cup holders. How do you shift if you got a drink in any of the new top cup holders? Looks like they will all be in the way of your arm depending on the gear. Surprised nobody mentioned it.

In all honesty, on the console the far right is good. Middle and left not so much and the down low cup holders you already know about them.

Video helped me out. could you tell me the year of the new center console you put in?

Nice, I want to do this to mine. I always slam dunk coffee in the other cup holders. 😂 Some how I always forget I have a drink down there. Any lead on a 4th gen console, and how much? The wcfab 2nd gen swap and fuel wiped out my savings. I just ordered parts for a bi xenon morimoto 5.0 d2s retrofit, and I want to do this next check. Back to paycheck to paycheck 😅 Going to color match white housings.

Might be a dumb question but could you not just take out the top 2 bolts on each console to swap it over?

I tried that originally but that top part is different, I can’t remember exactly but I started out taking those 2 bolts out and there was more to it. Sorry I don’t remember what it was exactly but I know there was something more to it.

Maybe I missed it, but, where did you order it from? Great video

No sorry I should have shown that, there are 2 10mm nuts that hold those little brackets on so they come off of the new console really easy

They are pretty easy, they have a nice machine screw in the back of them and you just put them together in a hole. It's been so long sense I have looked for them but I would think Amazon should have something, I got them from Over Kill Fab but they came chrome and I just had to sand them real good and paint them.
