Hello everyone I'm new here, hoping for opinions/suggestions on my center console, its not fully complete but its on its way. Please ignore the dust its Arizona... its dusty here.

Right now its only painted with leak seal but I plan on carpeting it with latex speaker box fabric. I will also be adding a dual battery voltage gauge and moving the DIC onto it. Lastly I need to make a conver/arm rest to the storage area. Not including some other small things... door lights, access covers... stuff?

Do you use it for emergency services?

No, I off road a lot and this is a former border patrol truck so I got it without a center console. I already had most of the stuff you see installed so this route was much cheaper than even a junk yard console...

Day 5 I took everything out and finished up the last few pieces as well as wiring and installing the components

I don't have any real pictures of the final (for now) wiring because I was starting to lose day light and I wanted to go off road the next day but I will need to pull it out sometime soon and I will take more pictures of the inside then.

All finished (for now) and re installed

But hey maybe I'll post up what I had started with before I switched over to full wood while I was getting the wiring figured out
