Made an over head console

[Miscexpense]

I couldn’t find a console I liked so I fab something up in the shop and 3D printed a few switch plates. It need a lot
of finish work but the overall layout is compact while allowing enough room for wiring, and some cabin lights. My next step is to fab up a bracket to hold my rear view camera.

Looks good. Any pics of it in the truck mounted ?

Nice work, will be great to see what it looks like mounted in vehicle. Is it metal, aluminum?

I’ll have pictures up soon. I’ve had to wait for the toggle switches. I ordered them from amazon, I should have looked to see that they were shipping from China

It is made out of aluminum except for the latches I’m putting on the sides for access.

I'm concerned it is too low. If you hit your head at high speed you can snap your neck if it is too low.

it's all good thanks for the "heads up" (lol see what I did there). It's going to be central mounted. It will drop down, but not quite the width of the windshield frame. Think overhead console location with reading lights. 3 1/8 x 18 x 3 7/8

Almost there, I did the rough install this evening. I’m having a few issues getting the main power wires from the battery though. I tried to take the wire around the windshield and down the B-Pillar, but it sticks out quite a bit since it has to go around the seat belt module

Looks great and authentic. I love switches, and more switches.

Looks great!

I like when things look like they could have been installed from the factory on these trucks.

Maybe a couple more pics with different camera and angle?
