    Nice, same spot as mine then I'm assuming? If it is, I love the location! Stays out of the way but it is still accessible when needed! Post some pics up when you finish the install!

    Check out these pictures and see if they help out. I cut the carpet on the floor board and ran them through the whole center console. PM me if you need more help alright buddy.

    BTW you cannot even tell the carpet is cut once the seat and center console is installed back into the truck!
