I have several items being put on my truck that are switchable units and I'm out of room for switches. I will not drill into my dash to put switches so I've decided to build a custom center console and wanted some input from folks who have done a job like this and opinions on mine idea.
Here's what I'm starting with... 07 ram 1500
The cup holder assembly comes out with 4 screws and leaves recession 6" into the dash.
My idea is that once the OEM cup holder is out I'll make a console that will go from the cup holder mounting point back to the flip up console. I never use the lower jump seat console and haven't been in there in months so I will make it follow the seat curve down to the floor.
Here's where I'm stumped; my original idea was to make the control panel tilted up at a 45 and angled facing me with all my switches across the top, CB in the bottom left. Now after doing some looking I'm wondering if I should make it straight instead of angled towards me, just would like to get some input on this.
