here is the console i threw together a couple months ago. its an ammo can with a cam lock and the factory console cushion. its kinda dirty but you get the idea.

I like it. May do the same thing when my stock SR5 disentigrates.

looks like it does the job got a pic of the lock mounting?

 

[Napoleon047]

the lock just goes through a 3/4" hole IIRC. the locking part goes into the slot i cut in the front of the box you can see in the bottom pic.

got any dimensions for it, and how did you mount it to the floor? i've been debating this for awhile now and that looks too good and easy to not do

I basically did the same thing, works great and its cheap. I drilled 4 holes in the floorboard and used 1/4 or 5/16 hardware I think (just some extra bolts I had lying around). Used nylock nuts and fender washers which makes it damn hard to pull through the floorboard or simply unbolt without getting into it.

IIRC, its 11"Hx17"Lx~8"W

i reused the stock heater mounts so i didnt drill any holes in the floor.

What caliber? That would be supremely helpful here.

i might just have to make one of those, i have a stereo Tuffy console from a YJ but it sits too tall. Plus i've got too much in it for a freakin console, i'd much rather fab a stereo one like that. Looks good.

did the same thing in my runner...like $6 from the army navy store. they had 2 different sizes, but the largest one would not fit bt the seats. Just used 4 self tapping metal screws into the floor, after checking underneath for clearance, etc. needs paint and some kind of top cushion, metal gets hot in the summer...prolly put a cam lock in too...thanks for the tip....

I had one of them in mine w/out the cushy part. I just welded it to the floor as I didn't have a center console to start with. Looked like shit, but worked

btw: the plastic cupholder thing is one i picked up from the auto parts store for cheap. it was made to hold some CD's two cups and then an empty bin for whatever. i cut out the CD holder area and it wraps nicely around the front of the ammo can.

if you have dual cases, the second shifter would come up in the middle of the empty bin area i think.

 

[FrankenToy]

Yep, looked like a good idea for me until I figured out that's about where the second t-case shifters are. I could use the storage..........
