Made center console
 

Well Yesterday (friday) I went off the deep end after all the crap going on with life . So I started therapy again (modding the Ranger ) I started with new seat covers , Then after about 6 differant JY I decided It would be easyer and cheaper to make my own center console to house Radio , CB , and swithces + all my other crap . It turned out pretty well I had 3 major problems but I "improvised , adapted , and overcame them" so Im happy . Its late and I cant find my camera so pics will be up soon .
Sorry for the long post

Well here it is the under portion of armrest has more storage , the upper half is hallow to hold my new cb and all my switches for acc .

your center box console looks like it needs a speaker haha.

Nice!

I would if I didnt have my base tube , and I dont know why it shows up grey in the picture but the console lid is black , and soon the upper half will be full of electronics .
