Well not to sound like dave here but I do apply 303 interior/exterior protectant on the e-brake boot once a month or so, whenever I do a quick 303 application on the center console area.

Has yet to show signs of cracking, but not sure if I can credit that to the 303 product or I just got lucky.

You should have opted for the FX4 equipped U-Haul truck!
Then he would've had to switch out the suspension for some Eibach or Fox shocks. :shock::wink:

I drove it around the area to warm it up and did it's yearly oil change. Ford says to do it once a year regardless of milage. It literally pops up on the screen every December.

It's currently at 3,637 miles. It's been driven in the rain maybe 4 times? and it still looks nice and clean underneath. Yeah, I know I should get out more.

How can you get out more Scott? Hair only grows so fast. ;)

Glad they don't use salt on the roads here in Oregon. However they do use what they call sand. Ya right it's pebbles and those chip your windshield and paint. Bummer.

Finally, finished my LED Delete issue, Installed the Factory LED Headlamps in Oct and the Fogs were backordered - They finally arrived, installed today - now just have to adjust and aim them, when the sun sets.

I feel your pain Mark. They used that same stuff on the roads when I lived in Calgary. We used to go through headlights regularly as the guy in front of you took off from the light, trying to get traction. ☹

These were popular…

It helped a bit but they rusted badly.

Well those who know me know I can't leave well enough alone.

Version 4 - de-cluttered and now with even sleeker dimensions (but a bit longer).

New profile / color vs older one (v3).

I'm getting quite fast and efficient at designing these overhead consoles. I've considered making "blank" shells (only pre-drill/cut items for mounting points and dome lights) upholstered in various colors to sell. Maybe offer a "deluxe" version pre-wired for various switches, power, radios, etc etc. I am not sure if there is a market for them though. Nobody else in the industry is making these for our trucks with the closest possible match being for the ROW models sold by ARB for $500 dollars no less. Plus no guarantee of fit and requires permanent modification to headliner and drilling of roof nibs. I think the bare bones shell and upholster costs me about 10% of that. My design requires no permanent changes and can be reverted to factory setup.
