Nbs center console in obs hoe

[Monstar_est87]

Hi everyone,
new member to the site and first thread, but long time follower and reader. I bought a center console(upper/lower nomounting bracket or electronics) for an 02 hoe and would like to get it into my tahoe limited if any one has attempted this or knows some that has and can give me a few pointers i would greatly appreciate it...
!!!!UPDATE!!!!

So here it is... It was shea in color no mounting bracket, no Electronic components.

After removing about 12 or so screws, its completely part.

I placed all the plastics in the tub and gave them a good scrub with some dawn dish soap. this is an important step before painting.

Here I simply hung these pieces up with sum fishin string.

I used 3 cans and put on 3 coats, this stuff worked great and its very inexpensive and its available at any auto store.

after the 3rd coat...

now here this bracket will not sit flush against the lower dash of the obs so some trimming is in order...




before trimming



After trimming... *note the 3rd pic* the console will not sit flush to the dash on the passengers side so some fiber glassing is going to b needed to make this look correct also you will have to rigg something so that the small compartment pockets are functional... To brace it down I used some simple L brackets and bolted it down to the floor and thats all... there was really nothing to complicated about this upgrade i seriously encourage every1 to give this a shot... If theres n e thing i can do 2 help please let me know and ill try to do my best... i hope this thread will atleast get u started of on the right foot...

My brother put a 2001 console in his 91 Chevy truck. What he did was took off the section with the cassette/CD holder compartment and just installed the bottom section with the actual floor console and cup holders. He had to drill holes to bolt it to the floor. And with the front section gone, and the console being so close to the dash, you couldn't see that there was an opening on the front of the console.

Hummm... Im kinda hoping to get this done using the top... just to give it a factory look... kinda like it was ment to be...

You want a factory look then get a center console from 99-00 Denali or Escalade.

Next closest step would be from a Ford Expedition. If you interested in the Expo i'll search for the Yr.

I was looking for something else, but found this. It's factory, should bolt right up.

Ever get this done Monstar_est87, I've been looking for a GOOD write-up on this for a long time. Every one that I've seen doesn't say more than it took some hacking...
