For those thinking about getting an aftermarket console

[thunderguns71]

Do it! This is probably the best simple upgrade I have done so far. Had to take my interior out so I could install sub frame connecters. While I was at it, I added Dynamt, new headliner, new carpet, kick panels with speakers, (boy that's a job that'll make you cuss,) and topped it off with a new console. It's so nice to be able to have cup holders now, instead of trying to hold a drink between your legs while shifting gears.

ok, so where'd you get it from?

I do like it. I am curious as well where you got it as well. Cup holder would be sweet. Of course I just refinished my console.

I purchased a Plug-n-Chug and am happy with it.

I just pull it out when at a car show and get to keep my stock console look.

I got mine from Cj Pony. I had been looking at them for awhile, but the price kept me away. Finally I just decided to pull the trigger when they had one of their sales. Still cheaper than buying an original one though.

Got mine from Mac's. I had to add a custom touch with the cover for the shifter

Disclaimer about those consoles. If u have an auto it leaves a big hole that exposes the stock shifter cover. You are on your own to come up with a solution to hide if you choose to. What we came up with was the best approach for the look I wanted

I ended up making a shift boot that I mounted to the underside of the console and slipped over the shaft of the shift lever. It worked perfect and looked great. I even stiched it by hand to make it look very professional. Too bad over the years it rotted from sitting and I got rid of it.

I think I like this option since I have a nice long console. Does it fit well and is it stable?

Make one...

I fabbed this one from a flared exhaust header connection by welding a bottom to it. Then attached it to the seat frame bolt with "Ram Mounts."





Phone holder is seen to the left of the drink holder, it is attached to the center console with a "Ram" mount also. My Alpine stereo remote is held to the cupholder with a magnet. This is nice when you want to up/down the volume without taking your eyes off the road or your hand off the shifter.

That's pretty cool.
