    man now im a little sad i sold that console! it turned out really nice!

    yea i remember trying to take that junk off, i tried all sorts of stuff and eventually just started sanding before deciding to look for a smaller unit.. looks good though, what did you do to make it flush on the roof? fiberglass? very nice paint job on it

    Old carpenter trick...hold it in place, then scribe the contour of the ceiling onto the overhead with a sharpie, cut & sand, repeat until proper fit is achieved...or until you need a new overhead, whichever comes first.

    Wow that looks pretty smooth, what did that console come out of? Great job on the install, I can't wait to get a good look at this at Moab.

    I like the grill badge. You need to get a second belt buckle that you can wear around as well so you match your VX.
