New-ish
I've started designing an 80 series center console for housing the Dometic fridge that bolts in to the OEM center console mounts. I've designed it so that the rear seats can fold down still while it's installed so you don't lose that ability.
I'm pretty far along the process, getting the dimensions right, the mounting points lined up, and tweaking it as it progresses.
Currently, I have it setup for front and rear interchangeable panels (switches, phone holder, cb housing, etc), a driver side access panel to allow wiring/speaker sound from an under mounted CB, and have added vent holes which will have a 3D printed insert for the intake and exhaust fans.
This is the rough prototype I'm working on currently, which is all hand cut with the plasma torch and angle grinder, however the final product will be CNC cut, TIG welded, and will have the option to be powder coated.
The edging around the top will have a metal edge guard once finished.
It's currently not symmetrical on the front as I was messing with the angles to give more room for the parking brake, however I'll be changing the front to have the angles match closer once I redo the 3D model.
Love to hear thoughts and opinions, suggestions from anyone. Is this something that would interest some of you guys if I make a batch once I refine it?
