Lol Just make sure you dont run them with too much pressure or youll wear the centers out. I believe guys here are running theirs around 35psi. Im at 28psi for mine.
Thanks for the info. I put 36 PSI in the tires when I mounted them. Maybe I will drop them down some.

It does look better though! I am trying to upload a pic but having issues.

If you dont have one already, use a photobucket account. They are free and very easy to use.

I know what you are going through! When my kids were little i had the same problem. My solution /sugestion for you guys is "seat covers" get a set of water resistant seat covers and problem solved. Spend $200.00 or $300.00 on a set of seat covers and you will save your truck's interior and save money on cleaning and repairs on the long run. Just my 2 cents.... Good luck!!!!!

I am kind of shocked that not too many people chimed in on the center console/arm rest issue. This thing has been pissing me off since I got the truck. I am going to call the dealer today to see if there is any sort of updated part replacement for the latch. The use of plastic for a latch is just a bad idea!

If someone does know of a fix or substitute I would be very interested in hearing what you have to say. Thanks!

I just wiggle it a little, mine has been acting up for quite awhile and I've gotten so used to it I hardly ever have trouble popping it open now.
