the next step is gathering parts for the dash. I should hopefully have a majority of the parts by the end of the month if everything goes to plan. I just have to wait and see. I am going to reuse the stock harness and add the wires I need to complete the swap. I will be looling at getting a dash reinforcemant as I will be pulling it out any ways to fix an issue with my heater box. I will get lots of pucs as I put the dash in.

the console looks great! I just installed the 2012 shifter in mine...still looking for a console. I do have a question though. Did you re use your existing parking brake handle or did you have to change it to the new style to fit the new console? Just one less thing to buy if it will work.

Pm me for a lead on parts.
As far as the Ebrake. It is the 07-10 lever, it.is a shoe horn fit but fits and Work. I am going to change mine down the road. An for the 12 shifter, you should physically be able to mount and use it for drive, but the paddle shift will not Work and you will not have a way to dissable overdrive. the 11 or a nitro are the ones that will give you full functions.

My shifter must have been a 2011. It's not the quick shift...it has d,3,2,1. Everything seems to be working fine. I really want a factory console but haven't been able to source a used one. I don't mind paying the book price on the console but the dang lid is over $200 which is cray. I thought about just getting the tuffy security console with the front cover outta the 2012 but I like the factory one so much better. I'd just rather not spend $500+ on one. If you have a good place to find a used one i'm all ears!
