center console

Hi Guys,

has anyone worked out a workaround for the center consoles (that all appear to be trashed). if you google it you only seem to get up 8year old threads about a wooden version someone made!

I made a wooden one for mine too, was the best I could come up with. Works ok, looks better than a trashed old plastic version IMO.

There was a company that was making alloy replacements. I cannot recall their name ATM but it will come to me. IIRC Inc. was also interested in one ATT, so he may recall them.

Plywood and pine worked for my old 2dr.

I’ve got a spare early two door one

Thanks Guys,

this is a '92 with a manual gearbox and LT230 ( so the exact console may not exist .... as the cutout of the LT230 diff lock doesn't exist ).

I found a really nice one here .....

Replacement Centre Console

My initial thought was "wow that's expensive" ..... You know, given the hours in having them hand built. Is probably cheap. It woudl work with mine as the cutout appears to be for the LT230 .... as obviously the borg warner will work with the larger cutout ... only you never use the side to side action

I modified mine from an auto with borgwarner to an lt230 with isuzu msa. Just cut the whole out for the lt230 slightly wider so it fits. Mines a 94 rr though

I've done the same thing.... ie: chopped the hole out. Its quite ugly though as the center console is so broken! The hole can't be readily cut as they put recesses beside the transfer case lever.

I have a broken up version of this.

This is the one I'm going to have to build/find. If I'm putting the effort into painting and tidying up my ****box rangie .... I might as well fix up the trashed bits of the interior too

Depending on how this works out, I might even buy a new one from LRA.
