Default after market center consoles?

Well I went and broke mine. Again. I think this is the third time now.

I'd like to get something made out of metal that possibly has more options for switches (looking to add lockers and lights and don't have a place for them)

Jeeps and defenders seem to have plenty of nice ones, why not for discos??

Make a custom one out of MDF and cover it with fleece and resin or cover it with cloth or leather. Another option is to repair the original one and reinforce it then paint it to match or cover it with fabric.

Others used fibergalss to create their own. You can also modify a center console from another vehicle to fit in your ride. There's guy from other discovery forum and he used the console from a minivan.

Where are you talking about? How much do you care about sunroofs, clocks, and the door lock switch?

You would think Zack works for a parts warehouse with all those options!! BTW, thanks for the $25 gift certificate I won this past weekend at the Winter Safari Event of Blue Ridge Expeditions Off-Road in the Pisgah National Forest of NC. I appreciate your support, and more importantly you helping me fix a few needed items at a bit of a discount now.

Wow wow wow ZG, that is awesome! I am talking about the center console that has the window switches and cubby hole in the middle of the seats.

But now you have my imagination going... where in the world did you get all those switches or were they all custom??
