I have posted our console in our GU thread http://www.patrol4x4.com/forum/members-nissan-patrols-19/danny-helens-gu-61342/

However anything I make myself Ill do a separate thread....so here is our roof console!

It is made out of 7mm ply. It uses the original front light. I holds the kids DVD screen, the Uniden, a 6 bank of switches and some storage space. I havent put any mesh over the storage holes yet because the floor is slightly recessed so I might not have to.

I had it professionally trimmed.

Great job there..
Although reading your post and looking the first picture i thought that was the finished product....he he he he.
I was about to bag out the trimmer....my bad.

Mate that looks great.

What'd it cost to get trimmed ? I've been half tempted to make a roof console, but wouldn't want some ugly POS that I made being so obvious, but yours look great after the trimming.

They all look like a POS when they are bare ply It cost $200 to have it trimmed. It was a bit on the expensive side but mainly because I put the stepped up insert in where the UHF and switches go. All up the thing owes me less than $250. It looks professional (because of the trimmer), it fits perfect, it is custom made to suit our needs so for that price we are happy with it.

Thanks for the comments gents.

$200 is cheap mate, jop job, you try doing it with a bag needle yourself, you made a good choice, looks the goods.

Top job champ, well done , hats off to you and the misses

looks awesome, great spot for the locker switches too, handy but not in the way to get played with by wandering hands (or the dog jumping in the front!)

Well done!
