Edd Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Not a truckcab but the ideas the same. Shell is made out of 4mm ply let into a frame made of softwood routed to make it 1/4 round and then rebated to take the ply. it mounts to the top two bolts of the rear view mirror and to my cage at the back though it would have been just as easy to use the mounting holes for the interior light. Theres a drop down storage tray that holds os maps (like on the arb roof console) and its now covered in light Grey vinal (i cant find a current pic now and im driving the landy to Tunisia in the morning so will sort one out in a few weeks if your interested and ive got all the sand off everything lol) the ally plates hold my computer hdd which runs my radio mp3 memory map satnav etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Chua Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Edd, How did you custom make the center console to house the touch screen. I'm still figuring out the best way to mount mine. for now it's one of those suction windshield mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
