no the center console from 04-08 wouldnt come close to fitting in the hole, its wider, boxier, and would have a different contour on the floor of the truck

fiberglass is actually pretty easy to work with, just takes some time.

I might be able to make a mold out of my deck and be able to make duplicates of it out of urethane, which would take out alot of time for someone else to build and glass the deck

 

^^^I'm down with that.

 

gotcha about the nbs console

ive got no experience with fiberglass or urethane so ur speaking jibberish to me

 

just now looked through the whole thread... and I must say GREAT job pat!

 

thanks again everybody!

 

possibly a how-to coming soon Pat??

 

Looks awesome Pat. Hopefully you can make it to the meet in June so I can see it in person. Just gonna apologize ahead of time if i drool though

 

i wanna do this mod next. think this is bad a$$. how long did it take to finish patman?

 

couple of weeks,
spent a weekend just mocking up the shifter getting it at an appropriate height, but now that the guess work is done it should go faster.
an hour or so to cut up the skeleton of the console
couple weeks of fiberglassing in my spare time

 

hows the reack for the shifter patman? i wanna do this but dont know how to fiberglass lol

 

Reach? Not bad, its closer then the cupholder is. but then again im 6'6" so ive got long *** arms

fiberglass is pretty easy, this was my first time doing a free form.

 

haha im like 5'7" lol dam it looked like you've been doing it for awhile after i saw your shifter.

 

So this is a no go for a 4x4?

 

Just read this whole thread and I must say awesome work patman! Looks very clean.

 

definitely no go if you have a manual shifted T-case, If you're electronic T-case im sure it can still be done, you just would have to pick a different unused light in the cluster then i did

Thanks!
