Custom Built Console.

Hey guys let me know what you think of the console i just bult from scratch. It has a face for gauges and switches and space for cup holders (need to install them). I also built an inclosure that holds 2 10 inch subwoofers underneath. Let me know what you think!

p.s. This pic is with crappy paint I have stripped and sprayed with nice paint with good texture.

What's it made of? Sheet metal, wood, fiberglass, other?

What's it look like when installed?

What trim level is your '99?

Got more photos?

Yes i have more photo's i have to take some of it inside the truck because this is going into my portfolio ( I am going to art school for industrial design). It has a wooden frame with fiber board for the enclosure part to make the fiberglassing easier. I'm not sure what you mean by " trim level".

He means is it an XL, XLT, Lariat, etc.

Nice job on the console; looking forward to seeing pics of it completed and installed.

Layed Out, good location, I'll have to see if they'll fit there on my '03. I'd like to add just a few gauges and don't want the pillar blind spot any larger.

Yea, You would have thought some company would make this. So far working on it (about 20 min) today. Maybe I can get it mounted tomarrow.

got the pod off of ebay, just had to do alot of cutting.



still need to do a little more trimming, but I didn't want to give up my grab handle.

interior pics

I am not sure why but the camera gave it a weird color. It matches the factory gray.

I started with a wooden frame cut to fit where i wanted it and filled in the space i needed the subwoofer enclosure with fiber board then fiberglassed over it then used bondo to smoth it out but i actually have to strip all the bondo off this weekend and put on more fiberglass and sand it down because i found out the bondo will crumble with subwoofers. I am installing gauges next week. you can check out my step by step pictures on my myspace at MySpace.com - They Call Me Boner - 19 - Male - Titusville, Florida - www.myspace.com/tsmitty
