not sure if this is more the fab forum or 3rd gen 4runner, but here goes.
started my center console fab today. after living with that useless POS they called a console from the factory for over a year, i decided to junk it and start fresh. the design goals are: cupholders for both front and rear passengers, since i knifed the front cupholders that were broken anyway; a new home for my carpc; a better designed arm rest, something close to my arm, not 2 inches too low; and finally, get rid of the cracked armrest! it will also house a number of switches both for the computer and for general control of the vehicle electrical systems(whatever that is?).
Construction:
the basic frame is being made of 3/4" x 3/4" x 1/16" square tube. its both light weight and strong. it will be covered in fiberglass, and painted black.
ok, enough alphanumeric characters, heres what you want, the pics. the black pieces of tape roughly represent the placement of mounting tabs that will be 1/8" plate
ill have plans up after im done with the fab, incase you want to make your own more progress tomorrow and in the coming week. hoping to have it at leastly mostly completed by pismo on the 12th.
