Cheap console upgrade
Hey guys this is my first post and hope you like my first low buck mod. I was annoyed by the scratches my console was getting from cell phone, keys,and spare change.The plastic in these things is super soft! I have the non armrest type and dont have a lot of storage. I had a floormat from another truck that I didnt need so I trimmed up some pieces to fit. Took about 20 minutes and didnt cost a dime. I am gonna use two sided tape to adhere the pieces down for now. I think later on Im gonna try to find some thin rubber diamond plate look material to match the sills and door and then use spray adhesive to make it a little more permanent.

Thanks Falcon. I dont know if its new or old design. I checked the jeep website and there is no mention of a centr console with or without the arm rest. Im assuming there is the ones you guys have and the one i have. I kinda like it though.

LOL I used thin cardboard to get the shapes correct first. Sounds like we both have the same skills, I think if I hadnt I might have needed a rubber bedliner from an 8' dually! Strange tho we all have seen different consoles,I would think it would be cheaper and easier just to make one style? it has worked out well tho,no phone or anything sliding around on the smooth plastic scratching it to hell.
