Custom Center Consoles

[andrewh]

Hey Guys/Gals,

Looking to replace my center console/armrest with something aftermarket. Seen some pretty slick setups with CBs and 2m radios in them. Looking for some ideas so please post pics, doesnt have to be nissan specific either. Thanks!

i'd be happy with some type of organization so i don't have to rummage around to find my chapstick or gate remote

I'm almost finished with mine- rather than going big, I went small. It's about 14" by 22", but about 4" high. It incorporates 5 cupholders, a hardwired inverter and power for the CB and dualband ham. It's short so that the kids can walk across it to get from the frontseat to the back- good for a 2 door truck like the Bronco. I'll snap some pics when its done.

Check out this post: Center console.

In fact, check out the whole build.

Heh, yea that was the one that got me thinking about it, but now after an alignment from Atlantic Tire my center console suddenly has a broken latch... of course I cant prove it... but i really liked his build and wanted to see if anyone else had done something similar.

Would love to see it. Thanks

Based on that point, I did a quick search. Mind you, this is for a Gen2, but the latch itself appears to be $16. The lid itself is a bit more expensive at $61. Here's the page where I find the parts.

That shouldn't stop you from pursuing something custom if you want it, just wanted to give you some resources.

Here's a little writeup of my center console project, by request.
