I was originally put off by the looks of the jumpseat over the console, but no dealer in my area had the other options I wanted in a truck with the console. But now, I've come to like it, the arm rest is comforable, the cupholders are adequately deep, and the flip-lid storage is decent. I do not like the fact that, with the jumpseat, you have no power point options in the backseat as you would have with the console. I recently was under the seat trying to install a radio mount and got a pretty good look at it...there are just four bolts that hold it in and I didn't see anything else in the way if a guy was to make the swap.
Edit---sorry, I thought you were talking about doing this in an '08.

this question has been asked before with little response. The consoles are getting cheap enough. I have used the jumpseat maybe 5 times in my truck. I'll say this, glad it was there when we needed it. I can't get the wife to sit in it because she says its just not comfortable. This is why I think I could really benefit from the storage space of the console.

2 of the bolts will match and you will need to drill for the other 2. No big deal. You also will need to run power to it.

Has anybody tried the '08 console in a truck with manual transmission?
I want do the jump seat to console swap in my truck, but I'm not willing to buy the console before I know if it fits or not.
If somebody does replace the jump seat with the console (manual tranny or not) please take some pictures and post a write up showing if holes need to be drilled etc.
