TJ Roof Console Hey guys
This is my first fabrication write up so bear with me. I had been scouring the internet for ages looking for a good roof console for my TJ Wrangler and didn't find anything i liked. I stumbled upon TJ Custom Roof Console thread which i thought looked pretty good. I decided to change up the design a bit to suit my needs and this is what i came up with. A couple of Google Sketchup plans http://imageshack.us/a/img138/3224/r...soleplain2.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img268/2043/roofconsoleplain.jpg I was sick of having no interior light so i bought a caravan fluro for it. Made a spot for my UHF and 6 switches. Two 12v power outlets on the opposite side. There was some leftover room so i made it into a small pocket which is handy when charging things and its a good place for my sunglasses. I built it all out of 9mm ply. The lid is a piece of aluminum with the edges folded over. My friends dad used to be a car upholsterer so i got him to wrap it in vinyl for me. (for free which was nice) I didn't end up taking any photos of it while i was building unfortunately. Couple of photos mounted and wiring http://imageshack.us/a/img32/8954/img0032yt.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img837/3329/img0033te.jpg The Finished product. http://imageshack.us/a/img834/1999/img0041ln.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img339/7176/img0043qe.jpg Total build cost : Approximately $100 What do you think? Cheers, Paul |
Very nice looking unit mate, Matches in with the interior nicely.

Excellent Well made.
On my list of things to make :) |
Looks nice, mate! How did you mount it to the windshield and roll bar? Did your sound bar get in the way of any mounting brackets?

At the back i bent a T bracket that attached to the console and at the moment just sitting on top of the roll bar haha. Really should screw it down I don't have a sound bar so no problems there |

Try some bigass stainless hose clamps around the rollbar.
