Console between drivers and passenger seat on M1009

[Indyharleyguy]

I'm looking to add some type of a console between the driver and passenger seat and wondered if some of you have done that and what it looked like. Any pictures or where you bought one would be great.
Thanks

Great thanks. Love the ammo can. That's what I'll do also!!

My vote is the civilian console. Nice and comfy and has cup holders and a nice place to keep papers and has a lockable soft plastic lid. No rattle box. Hard to open and latch ammo can for my trucks. It was a question and that is my opinion. Do as you wish. I have several of the civilian ones in use with good results and nice on the body when you have Grandchildren and kids getting in and out no sharp edges and bad pinch points like an ammo can has. Your wife will be happier with the console. Plastic don't rust and wont promote rust. Also consoles fits the contour of the floor and seats nicely. Happy New Year.

I will when I get to the Crown of Thorns. That is M1009 that I have a bit more comfortable then a stock M1009. Not much more just a bit. Look later this evening. I will try and get there today after I put a set of rear brakes on an M1009 a customer dropped off today.

I do not see many Blazers at the junk yards anymore. However there are usually some Suburbans with the same console.

Post #34 shows one installed

I bought an aftermarket center console at Pep Boys when I had my M1009. It attached to the carpet I had installed with Velcro. It was even the same burgundy color as the seats and dash.

You don't say what sort of console you want. Here's mine. Not too much storage.

Hey no problem indyharleyguy. I thought you and I were just having a little friendly chat. I did not know you would grate someone on here. Well I am just the guy to show you a console inside an M1009 installed. That is what you ask for and it is not against the rules to ask or show you. I didn't know we had to google everything. we might as well shut down the posting and just google everything. Why converse? Just Google, read TM'S and Wiki stickis. Reminds me of the you tube video. Anyway I put the brakes on the rear on the M1009 and the lady was happy and left. Here we go with some pictures. They are not Google images they are real and no CUCV has harmed during the photo shoot.A few on my toys not all. the console as promised. Not a GOOgle image but I hope it helps you out. I added the eye bolts on the front and back and tied the seat belt buckets up so they were easily accessible. Bought this from a salvage yard 20 years ago.

I can not load any of the other pictures. Go to facebook and I will load them there. I mounted the stereo in the ammo box and use a remote to control it. I am not sure what is going on here that I can only load certain pictures and others it just kicks out. Sorry. I think you get the point. thank you for conversing with me and have a great evening.

Mainsail, you are as obvious as an elephant on a tennis court. You just posted that to brag!



Good looking setup!

Thanks! There is a storage box, albeit a small one, that is part of the rear of the console. It has an arm rest for my elbow. There's also a set of cup holders on the very aft end for the back seat passengers.

Thanks all that replied. I really like the ammo can one but cucvrus yours looks easier to install. Like your seats too. I have to fix the right front brace on my passenger seat. It's not attached to the frame right and you get a really big lean backwards in it.

If you end up getting a Civy Console like CUCVRUS, make sure to get the bracket too...

 

[cucvrus]

A small piece of wood makes a nice bracket if don't get the bracket. nice thing is the floors of the M109 have the minute divot in them for where the lag screws go. But a small piece of wood will do the same thing. No sweat. Good luck in your search. They are getting hard to find. Suburbans are a bit different in the bracket only.

Thanks all. Now I have lots of choices!
