first try at a central console... it progressed nicely into what I still have in the truck.
my 5 year old son came in as I was soldering some wires and said "you're like a scientist!" I think he meant like a mad scientist. Lol.
it houses my CB radio, a power investor for 110w power and my viper alarm.
time to kick that tinny sounding stereo setup out and get some bass in there! It needs to be loud to overcome the road noise from the new tires and the duel exhaust.
I originally had the woofers in boxes loose in the very back but any one who's ever had the rear end buck around going over whoops knows anything that ain't strapped down is gonna have a mind of its own. That's why I built them into the side panels behind the rear doors... well the rear door and the fixed side where the door would be if this was an original euro truck. (The waffle covers have been painted since these pictures)
the view from the pilots seat.
got some 33's and hated them instantly so 2 days later I got some new rims and 35's. It took 6 months to sell the 33's but I ended up making a few bucks since they were mounted and ballanced and on decent rims.
I built a frame to mount my gear box to. It has 3 hitch points and is held in with 3 pins. We pulled a 20 foot trailer loaded up with gear and my buddies rhino from Riverside to Johnson Valley for king of the hammers. It was solid as an oak!
That's about 50% of the stuff done so far but it gives an idea of where I'm taking it. I'm going to pick a part this weekend (they're have a half off everything sell) and I'm gonna grab a 4L80e transmission. It's gonna cost about 100$
***(Update 4-11-17)***
I found a np205 t-case literally sitting on the ground 2 weeks ago at pick a part and haggled the guy down to $57.89 it's been stripping and cleaned and is at the machine shop getting cut for a 90mm input bearing so I can run the 32 spline shafts. I have a np203 that already has the 32 spline input and my order from Jeds should be here in about 3 weeks. I'm gonna pull the body off the frame to remove the old 350 trans and 205 and replace it with a rebuilt 4l80e - bomb proof 203 / 205 doubler. I'm lifting the body cause I figure it easier to work from the top down than the bottom up... plus fabing up new cross members and rerouting exhaust and so on is a B doing on your back... plus it needs new body/cab mounts so there's that too. The plan is to have triple stick shifters in the stock location.
this is how the 205 looks now.
I didn't find my 4l80e during the sale they had... but I grabbed one yesterday 4-8-17.
I'm still waiting on my doubler adapter and it turns out that my 203 is in need of an input gear and low speed gear. The spragues are pretty beat up from someone jamming the tcase into gear.
Anywhooo, I've had fun building this thing a plan to have a ton more. Not to mention all the trail rides and campouts we've had and the ones to come with my new OB family!

Swapped out the old holley 600 for my newly reconditioned 750 cfm truck avenger style off-road carburetor. FYI if you want a truck carb and only have one for the street all ya need is offroad needle and seats and a cross over tube so ya don't flood out on gnarly off camber trails.
cross over tube and needle/seats aren't the only difference. The truck avenger carbs have side hung floats and these big holley's have center hung floats. But they still work well in the rocks.
I had to fab up that little bracket that holds my pressure regulator... it came out pretty clean.
There was a huge and immediate difference in performance. Man I missed having that thing!

that's me and the old iron.
on our way home with the new power plant. 
hand throttle from an old friction type gear shifter off a 10 speed.
it works perfectly and cost $1.50 at a yard sale. No JB customs 100.00 bulky thing here. LOL. [emoji12]
