Anyone? I was thinking of running wires of the dome light or trying something like that. Think that could work??

Thanks, jebxjebx said:You have to cut a small square hole in your headliner at the back of the console. There are a couple of slots in the roof that two tabs on the back of the console fit into. You may also need to cut a small hole at the front of the console in order to clear the back of the map lights. Slip the console into the slots at the back, push the front up into position and install the one screw that holds it in from the front.
If the wires are there then just plug and play. If not, run your wires under the headliner and down the a-pillar to the fuse box. Find a "hot" source and tap in.
I am pretty certain for a reg cab there is a brace that goes under the headliner for the overhead console. The Extended cabs already have this.

what kinda anchor did you put in?i have a console and already ordered the brace that you have to epoxy/glue to the roofit was a 04 base not an ls. what i did is cut hole 1st to inspect. then once i saw i didnt have shit was trim the opening on open to clear the console. i put a anchor in the little slot since the oem screw thing wasnt there. then i wired up a ground to beam up front and ran a wire to the fuse box to a hot source. and for the back i cut the clips off the console and drilled a screw through the back. i put a small piece of mdf in the back above the headliner prior so i would have something to screw into. other than the one screw in the back it looks and works fine.
didnt have a camera at the time. i could get one possibly of the finished productDo you happen to have any pics of said installation?
