I've been working on the interior, the cushions in the old seats were worn out and the carpet was just plain nasty in spots. The center console was broken and loose... time for some upgrades! I decided to go with black, rather that blue that was already there. It doesn't all match, but it does look better to me!
First was a pair of Corbeau XRS seats, with seat heaters and Corbeau brackets! Tons of thanks to Davy and Tyler at AllJeep.com. I ordered my seats thru them and they went above & beyond to get my order in my hands, fast! Thanks guys!!
I ordered a black fitted carpet and insulation for my make & model from Summit Racing and finally a black Rugged Ridge Ultimate Locking Console.
Old carpet -
After pulling out the old carpet, I vacuumed out the dirt, then wiped the floor down with a hot, soapy towel.
New insulation & carpet. -
I decided to raise the center console, since it was built for a Jeep and the floor in the truck wasn't flat. I wanted to be able to use the console as an arm rest too, so I raised the rear up by 5 1/2" and the front by 3". Since I was essentially building a box, I decided to put the console on a hinge and have a 'hidden' compartment. The carpet job on the box isn't great, I used scrap pieces from the new carpet, I'm going to eventually re-carpet the box.
The final product! Looks much better, the seats will be way more supportive when bouncing around offroad, the addition of seat heaters will be very nice on those cold days and the new carpet looks 10x better! -

I'd like to think that nobody (except everyone on the internets) would realize that compartment was there.
