    Upgrading to an 01-04 center console is still one of my top three mods.

    When you switch out the console on an 98-00, do you have to change out the old shift boot (and plastic housing), or can you just swap out the console part by itself? Been wondering about that.

    It's all interchangeable so you can just switch out the center console.

    The only thing you have to make sure of is you get the 01-04 bracket that secures the console to the tranny hump. The 98-00 bracket will not work with an 01-04 console.

    Threw a coat of Bed liner on the tail gate.
    It was getting pretty bad.

    I don’t mean to be a negative douche, but I used that stuff on my bumpers in August and it’s already pretty faded and peeling off....

    Looks nice though, maybe it’ll be fine there where it isn’t in direct sunlight.

    Just started on engine mounts and surprisingly the two big bolts that I was sure would be rusted or siezed came loose like nothing haha

    Question:

    Is this too much of a gap between the cv axle and front diff right here? And also, could this be causing a clank when I hit a bump?

    That amount of gap is normal.

    No douche-ery taken. The previous owner had the whole bed done through Line-X forever ago and the bed is still pretty good looking. But the tailgate was all chewed up and looked like shit. So me and a buddy pitched in on a gallon and I threw a coat on the tailgate and he’s doing something with his half. Definitely looks better. That’s what I was going for.
