I apologize I just went back and checked how you wrapped yours and saw the small link to Amazon! I'm thinking of doing something similar to your switch mount as well, with sheetmetal at least, maybe not in the same spot though.. Did one roll of that carpet cover the whole rear?


EDIT: Okay I'm getting worse, further into that same post you said one yard was enough. Thanks..

Well I've gone back and reread so many things in here I have a general idea of what pages some things are on. I've decided to mount my switch panel where the 4 CD slots are in the center console. I'll up load pictures to my build thread when I get it finished up! Running wiring and switches for four more lights!

I always use that spot for my cell phone lol. With the lifeproof case my iPhone fits perfectly in there.

Got a small piece of the puzzle done today! Pulled out the center counsel and swapped in the manual shift counsel. I will still have to pull it and drill the hole for the shift linkage but I figured I'd wait till I swap tcases for that. I also need to clean it but I'm not to concerned with that. Also debating if I should spend the time to paint it or leave it as is.

I will have to relocate my cb most likely to inside the counsel which is fine because I have an external speaker so hearing it won't be an issue. Now I need to get my old counsel cleaned up and try and get someone to buy it so I have a few more dollars towards swap stuff

Yeah there's going to be a whole lot of measuring and hopefully only a little cutting involved when things start happening!!

Looks good! I'm very jealous of your dark interior. Does the console match the headliner you put in? Or close at least? If so I'd leave it, Otherwise I might paint it.

Wow .. forgot I even posted in this thread!

Only update I have is, the Jimmy got moved to it's final resting place ... in the back yard .. lol! At least I don't have to look at it closely everyday now.

Never owned a bigger lemon .. EVER. Makes a much better tool shed than a mode of transportation ...
