Anyone out there w/ a custom center console in their RRC? Let's see some pics!

I'm debating building one myself or having one built. Mine has fallen apart and has been removed.

Here's a couple shots of the one I built for my 92' - -

It's made out of C-Teak, a GE Polymer HDPE product thats uv resistant and pretty damn tough. My kids destroyed the factory one in my truck after a month of getting it. The new one has been in for about nine months and they climb all over it.

I have checked with tuffy here in colorado and if we can get enough people like 20 they can build one for us. http://www.tuffyproducts.com/

nice job on the box

Denny: that looks good. A little upolstery and it'll look stock.

Didn't CSL have an aftermarket console in his rrc?

The box end of mine is shot, wouldn't mind finding a way of shoring it up or replacing it.

Tuffy makes some nice stuff. But everything they make is metal. I do not want anything sitting on top of or bolted to the transmission tunnel because it would get incredibly hot.

If you can get some prototype pics of what they would build I would be in.

[ptschram]

I saw the one Chris had. It didn't do anything for me, but that's just me.

It did remind me of a padded toilet seat-LOL

That is the only nice-looking replacement console I have ever seen.
That hard plastic box shown before, while meeting the goal of being childproof, is really ugly.
If I were to make one, I'd make it either out of fiberglass or thin sheet aluminum, aircraft-style, with rounded edges and, hopefully, not so prominent fasteners. And cover it with vinyl matching the color of the interior.

Denny, I like that. Very clean and simple. Where did you get the material? I'm striking out with Google and that C-teak name.

Try Ge Polymershapes, Austell, Ga, 770.948.6910 . This is where I buy my materials from and they probably have a wharehouse somewhere near you and or they will ship it anywhere. If you find it and dont want to pay for a full sheet I can sell you some from what I have in stock and send it to you. It's great stuff for all kinds of applications and after looking around your truck you'll start wanting to put it everywhere.
