Thanks guys, I am really glad everyone likes it, I think it looks even better in person.

I have to admit, after driving the truck for a few days with the conversion, it has taken on a new feeling. The truck now seems more complete with the 99 Gator console, and all that extra room for starage is a big +

There are existing holes for the console, but I must admit that its just wedge in between the seats and the rear storage compartments and the lower dash. I will wait until the 6-point is done for final installation.
The seatbelt mounts in its original location along with the inside rear seat leg bracket.
The only hole that needs to be opened is the inside front on the new leg, only because that one extended well over to the driver side (now for the console) under that long bench seat.

So now I have storage everywhere, and in a few days I have managed to take use of it all..LOL All that extra weight will slow me down.

Call LWM at 1-800-259-5842 and ask for Darrin. Last time that I talked to him they had plenty of ones like Spiro got from '99-'01 Expy's. These consoles are wider than the one like I have because the new Expy seats do not have armrests.

Price should be under $100.

Nice work. It would definitely be a nice option from the factory. I personally also need to seat three on occasion so the factory set up works for me.

That is so super sweet spiro. I gotta see that in person.

I would love to do it...but occasionaly I need to throw a third person there...more often I need to throw some luggage or something in that spot...of course if I got around to getting a bed rug...i could actually use the BED to haul my stuff.
