Re: took me a wile, but the console is finished

all the wireing runs along the passanger side of the body(in some of that plastic split wire loom stuff), and up the passanger side of the roll bar(under the padding), across the sound bar, and to the console, where it's all under the cover. all of the wireing will be consealed except for a little bit of the coax cable for the cb antenna, but sense it's black too, I don't think it will be that noticable. as far as ventilation for the radio, I haven't gotten to it yet, but I have some metal mesh(used to be a speaker cover for an intercom system here at work, and is about the right size) that I'm going to install on the top side, directly above the radio.

I drove the jeep to work today, and noticed that the radio bounces a little bit, and causes the cd to skip. however, at the moment, the radio is only held in by the little mounting box (little steel rectangle that comes with the radio, and you bend the tabs to hold it in place). there is a stud on the back of the radio for attatching a stabalizer strap, and I think once I get that attatched, it should eliminate any bouncing.
