Questions:

(1) Where?

(2) Why did you swap out the overhead console?

(3) How did you go about moving the A/C wiring to overhead?

Thanks

Oh, and you can mount your DVD player inthere too . IMO probably the best mod I have done. As soon as I saw Vinnie's at the track right after he got it done, I had to do it.

Well, that was my point. Not shooting for the same weight, shooting for lighter. Take out the stock seats and console and put in a couple of Recaros like Don's and I'll bet you save a lot of weight, nicht wahr?

Tim -

1) local salvage yard had about 3 or 4 of them, but only let me get one. I tried to get them to others, but it didn't work out.
2)I want to put a screen up there. If I do not do that I will probably put some guages in the location of the rear AC controls.
3)I didn't, so I cannot help you there.

Vinnie -

Nice Harley Lid. Mine isn't just leather, it is the same material that is used in the seats. It really ties it all together.

dam nice consoles

I would love one of those in my truck but I think im out of luck because of the following snags

1. I have a 60/40 split bench
2. I have shift on the fly 4X4 shifter right there.
3. The install looks tricky

Is it impossible?
