Is there a secret handshake I should be aware of. No Rule 1 because you've seen 100 of them on this site alone.

But down to the real reason for the post. Anybody have a line on where to get a floor center console? Mine came with the center jump seat console combo and I want to swap it out before getting some Katskinz installed.

Nice!!! I like that interior color. I'm going start my Katskinz design from that and see where it goes....but first I have to figure out this Ford Pass thing

Welcome to the club.

When do you plan to put a LS in it ?

;-)

So here's what I've got on order thus far. First and foremost, a center console. I'm removing the jumpseat and installing the console. The jumpseat has a psuedo function as a console, but it sits too high to comfortable serve as an arm rest, it has a cup holder, but to get to any storage, you have to lift up the seat, and then lift the storage lid, so it's got to go. I'm unsure of the wiring harness needed (if any) so that will be a few hours of cussing I'm sure, not to mention hooking up the air ducts (hopefully all that crap is included). Husky rear well liners. DeeZee Tailgate assist. Driver side back seat latch to get behind the back seat (I have no idea why they don't allow that from factory). A 14" antenna to replace the monstrosity it came with. Tailgate letter inserts. Weathertech floor liners. Oil catch can. Forescan USB dongle. Backseat underseat storage organizer. Raptor/ Tremor running boards.

Next up, and the reason for the post, I'm ordering a bed cover and trying to decide on which one, and found this article that basically states a soft cover will improve your gas mileage, while a hard cover decreases mpg.

But I like the security of a hard cover (I'm under no delusions that any bed cover is truley secure). But an icrease in 10-12%, if accurate, has got my attention. I thought this was a myth that had been busted long ago, but I'm wondering now if the myth busted was based on hard top covers? What says the AB?

After I get all that installed, I'll tackle the suspension, and get the Gearhead tune. Then Katskinz and Ceramic window tint after that.

Right, I thought they had been busted too...but the article is basically saying that the light weight soft covers do actually give a 10-12% increase in MPG, which is why I'm wondering if the "busted" myths all revolved around the heavier hard covers?

No it makes no difference. The theory was that covers reduce the drag of the airflow but in reality all covers increase drag slightly but not enough to make a noticeable difference. The only thing that was found to actually slightly reduce drag were the tailgate net replacements but again the difference was negligible.

Think about the underseat storage. It is really nice to lift up the back seat and have a flat surface in the back. That will go away.

Yep, they bolt right up. Word of warning, they're going to stick out about 1.5 inches further than all the other trim on the truck. Let me know if you don't get them (and send me a link please) as I don't mind canceling my order and getting some take-offs to save some dough. Another word of warning, they say Raptor on them, the Tremor versions say Ford (which is my preference), but for the price I don't mind it saying Raptor.

Thanks a bunch, I don't have FB, but was able to use my wife's account to message him, and I snapped them up, saved me a few hundred bucks! Thanks a bunch.
