One feature that I really liked about the CUCV Blazer was the lack of a center console. I know some guys modify commercial Walmart consoles and ammo cans to fit that space, but I like the openness and easy pass thru to the rear seating area. The Avalanche has a center seat/console that isn't large enough seat anybody nor to store anything useful. So I removed it. The internet is a funny place: one can find posts by purported experts saying it isn't removable, and others say it is but requires special tools. It LOOKS like you need some kind of inside torx kinda tool, but not really : the front bolts are removed with a 15mm socket and the rears with 7/16. No big deal really. Total cost was (-$1.23). I say minus because I found $1.23 + 2 pesos under the seats.
