This photo displays one of several variations on the centre roof console design available for this vehicle.

Points of Interest:

• Robust construction - Suitably durable for off road driving. Manufactured from steel and hardwood plywood - NO PLASTIC.
• The shape of the base of the console can be custom made to suit your radio(s) and other requirements.
• Radio holes and storage openings etc. cut to suit your requirements and accessories.
• Designed for maximum headroom without interfering with the sunvisors or any other functions of the vehicle.
• Removal of the genuine spectacle / map light assembly reveals an opening in the hoodlining, our consoles have been designed to take advantage of this opening. The radio fitted into the front of the console can protrude past the top of the console, sitting in the space between the hoodlining and the turret. This design allows the console to be less intrusive and allows the front radio to sit further forward making it easier to see and operate.
• Upholstered in a vinyl or velour finish to match the vehicles interior.
• A vacuum formed finish is also available for this roof console. This is a foam backed, heat shrunk, one wrap (no seams) finish similar to the finish on the dashboard. Click here for prices.
• The original spectacle holder / map light assembly can be refitted to our console if required.
• This console is mounted without drilling any holes in the vehicle. To mount the front of the console, we utilise two of the original mounting points for the genuine spectacle holder / map light assembly. The back of the console is held in place by a steel bracket that hooks on top of the turret support channel. This bracket sits inside the hole in the hood lining for the interior light. Two pieces of the hood lining must be cut out to allow this bracket to slide in place. These cut outs will never be seen, they are covered by the interior light if the console is removed at a later date.
• The wiring looms for the genuine interior light and the genuine map light must be extended before installing this roof console - see fitting instructions for more information.
• Designed so the radio curly cords are out of view.
• We manufacture our consoles in weekly batches. If we receive an order by Monday 5:30pm Sydney time your console will be dispatched on the following Friday. The dispatch date can vary if there is a public holiday.
• Professional fitting service available.

Your centre roof console will be designed to suit your specific model vehicle. It will neatly follow the contours of your hoodlining and will be the ideal width to suit the distance between your sunvisors. The length of the console takes into account the mounting system for the console, the shape of the cabin and when applicable, headroom for the rear seat passengers. When calculating the depth of the console we allow for maximum headroom and a clear view for the rear vision mirror. As no two model vehicles are the same our "vehicle specific" consoles are the best available.

In addition to being "vehicle specific" we also "custom build" each console to suit your requirements - nobody else does that! We adjust the shape of the base of the console to suit your radio(s) storage or lighting requirements. When custom building your console we can build a slim line console for maximum headroom or a deeper console for maximum storage. We can make the console's radio housing(s) as small as your radio(s) will allow providing more headroom and moving your radio(s) closer to the windscreen for better access. Another advantage of this versatility of design, most modern radios have a LCD (liquid crystal display) screen. It is easier to read the LCD when you are looking square onto the screen. Whenever possible, we change the angle on the console's facia panel to suit the radio being fitted.

Below are some sketches to show you some of the possible variations available for centre roof consoles.

FITTING INSTRUCTIONS

Introduction:
This console is mounted without drilling any holes in the vehicle. To mount the front of the console, we utilise two of the original mounting points for the genuine spectacle holder / map light assembly. The back of the console is held in place by a steel bracket that hooks on top of the turret support channel. This bracket sits inside the hole in the hood lining for the interior light. The genuine spectacle holder / map light assembly and the interior light are re-mounted into pre-cut holes in the console. Removal of the genuine roof assembly reveals an opening in the hood lining, our console has been designed to take advantage of this opening. The radio fitted into the front of the console can protrude past the top of the console, sitting in the space between the hood lining and the turret. This design allows the console to be less intrusive and allows the radio to sit further forward making it easier to see and operate.

Step 1. Remove the spectacle holder / map light assembly. There are two screws under the spectacle holder and two plastic trim clips at the back above the map lights. Remove the two screws then pull the assembly down to release the two trim clips.

Step 2. Remove the interior light.

Step 3. Remove the speaker grill fitted to the front of the console. Remove the two plastic bags containing the console fitting kits.

Step 4. Hold the console in position to check the fit. Make sure you have received the correct console, in good order, before cutting any holes in the console.

Step 5. Fit your radio(s) and accessories into the console – see the “instructions on installing a radio into a console” and the “radio fitting kit” supplied with the console.

Step 6. Install the wiring and aerial lead(s) before fitting the console. Be sure to leave enough spare wire to reach down to the seat. This will make it easier to connect your wiring to the radio(s) before fitting the console. The excess wire can be coiled up inside the console. The wiring looms for the genuine map lights and genuine interior light are not long enough to reach the lights when they are fitted into the console. The best way to lengthen these looms is to cut and extend each individual wire. Remove the appropriate fuses then cut each wire separately to avoid shorting out any sensitive electrical components.

Step 7. The rear bracket on the console hooks on top of the turret support channel. The hole in the hood lining for the interior light allows access to this channel. Two pieces of the hood lining must be cut out to allow the console bracket to slide in place. These cut outs will never be seen, they are covered by the interior light if the console is removed at a later date. Using a sharp knife, cut out the pieces of the hood lining as indicated by the dotted line in the photograph.
