Default Center drink cooler and front Console

Did an ambitious project where I built a drink cooler in the center seat mount and mounted the armrest to it. there is a Catch-all pocket to hide cel phones or whatever.. when the arm is down, you cant see it... then I rebuilt my front Console to work better. old one had a small tray and funky cup holders.. new holders hold a can or my adjustable big holder... Console is removable in a few pieces to get to the dash screws if needed. screws are covered with molding so only a few small screws are vivable....made of Red Oak and Stained with Golden Oak and Varnished. Not bad, huh?

Had the Cherry in my old 2001.. thought the Oak was a nice change...

1AMatt.. Don't know.. I custom fit the center console to fit my truck.. if you just want the cooler.. could do it.. would need exact measurements for the bolt holes for the seat mount and how far the center console is to the front hole.. How wide.. I used 14" wide box.. should fit OK.. front to rear measurement should be the same....

your arm rest is a little different design for the mounts.. you would have to take the arm off and set it on the box and trace around it. then use a router to cut in about 1/2", drill bolt holes and bolt it in. I can leave it unfinished so you could do it how you want... I would need about $250 to make it.. let me know if you want it..
