Default Center Console Addition?

I really wish I had gotten the center console package in my BigHorn, is there any way it can be added? if nothing else is there a GOOD aftermarket cupholder/etc that goes where the flip up seat does?

Seems like a lot of work/expense. Getting all the parts from a junkyard truck would be your best bet, there are going to be a lot of parts to change out. Would you also be converting to floor shift?

Out of curiosity what is your issue with the center seat/compartment?

What is the matter with the 3 cup holders that are already there in the center?

Not sure why you'd want to do this. They are so huge and bulky. The flip down cup holder has worked great for me. If that's not enough they put cup holders in the door too. This truck has more cup holders than a minivan.

There's only 13 cup holders in the crewcab - how could that possibly be enough

I got short arms! Using those cup holders in the door & tray are like watching shaquille o'neal pickup pennys. I have to ben over so far the cars behind me honk..

I REALLY like that center cup holder. Thanks for finding it. I need to see if they make it for the 10.

Man, I just did this. I found a guy on craigslist that had a center console and I traded him my flip down. It really isnt that hard to install once you have all the parts.

It took me forever to find the new center console insert that has the 2 cupholders our of a 2010 Heavy Duty. I did it this way so that I didnt have to use the floor shifter.

If you need any help just let me know, I can help you get some of the part numbers.

I installed everything yesterday and wasnt paying attention and now I have to get a new center dash bezel because the trucks with the console have a dash bezel that is about 2 inches longer.
