I’m starting a winter project. I picked up a used 03-06 Denali console for my Yukon the other day for a steal (along with Denali dash and door switches). Trying to find some nice heated rear bucket seats in the light pewter grey color to replace the bench but may have to take what I can find and re-upholster all the seats while I’m at it. New heating elements probably wouldn’t hurt either.
Anyways I’m doing a “double console” or back to back console. I’m going to try and blend the secondary console the best I can to the back of the front console. I’ll try to get some pics of the mock-up and post them on here as I go. Really wanting a factory look but something different and unique without sticking out terribly. While I’m at it, I’m also planning on putting 2 8” American Bass VFL’s under it. One in a porter box in the front of the console and one sealed in the factory spot in the rear console. It’ll be slow until overtime dies down at my work. If anyone knows anywhere (preferably in the St. Louis area but I can also always ship them if needed) that can simulate the Denali wood-grain through hydro-dip please let me know! Planning on getting the Esky doors and refinish the wood grain to match the Denali’s as time goes by here.
Tore down the center console I purchased so we could start on a sub box plan for under the console. I’m wanting to retain the cupholders and the console storage which makes this a bit difficult.
Console started off pretty ruff but with some TLC should clean up pretty good. After some fiberglass work the plastics will all be getting painted with some SEM anyways so everything matches good and looks new. The plastic doesn’t have any gouges or cracks which is a big plus.
