Center Console Organizer

[SeventyOne]

Looking to see what all you great minds have done. My console is just a vast open space and seems like some structure in there would help a lot. So let's see what you all bought or made!

Good idea! I would think someone could 3d print something that would work really well.

That would be awesome

Nobody else have an input or ideas/products they use? Everyone just lives with their cavernous console as is haha

I wish I had a cavernous console.......

I'm curious about this as well. I just finished up my nice original console and will do something with the inside. I just dont have a plan yet.

Just line it, fill it with ice and make it a cooler

In all seriousness, I have my console just sitting there with nothing in it! An organizer of some sort would be nice but most of the time it's empty besides a pistol.

[SeventyOne]

Yeah - doesnt sound like anyone has a good solution so I might just have to do some trial and error purchases to see what works.

I kind of like the cavernous console. It is a good spot to stash a jacket or a sweat shirt for the cool nights. It is also a good spot to put anything you dont want in plain sight hid away from sticky fingers since i run topless. I feel some sort of organizer may ruin those qualities. I usually dont have my pistol on me in my Jimmy mainly because there is not a good spot to lock it up if i need to. However, i just bought a biometric safe that i am going to mount under the drivers seat due to the craziness going on these days.

It does my heart good to hear of you folks with your pistols. That would never fly here in California

Pretty sure you can carry your firearm in your vehicle if its locked up, Simi.

That is true; my envy is their ability to have it available if needed. By the time I fumble around to open the locked area it may just be too late

aaanyways...center console organizers???

Would making a mold by lining the interior space with foil, spray it with releasing agent so it won't stick to the original console. Then pour in liquid latex and while it's setting up; press in treated items like a a few small boxes i.e. square, rectangular etc... and remove them when it cures. This way you can design it the way you want and it'll be flexible for easier removal for cleaning. I'm just thinking outside the box...

That's a pretty cool idea. I could get a spare console bottom to play around with....hmmm maybe a future project!

[harrisoncole4]

If we're getting serious with our console organizer ideas, why not do a 3d scan of the console bottom, and then have something designed and 3d printed? The actual product would cost close to nothing. Spread the design costs over a medium sized quantity product run, and it would be pretty reasonable.

Potentially - it's not something I have any experience with, however. Guess I can do some googling...

Did you ever come up with something? I’m putting power window switches in the front of the console and maybe a divider inside near the front to mount my amp. That should leave plenty of room for guns and jackets!

I haven't - not at the top of my priority list yet as I've been sorting through other issues and upgrading to EFI. But perhaps later this year. Been thinking of just going to a local TAP plastics and seeing what I could make with some acrylic or whatever they recommend.

[Rickjz]

Have you decided which way to go on EFI? I went with FiTech. Fired it on the dyno, but haven't got it on the street yet.

I went Edelbrock Pro Flo 4. I didn't want to install a throttle body injection system.

I finally got around to finishing my console.
