When I first glanced at this picture, I thought you accidentally stuck in a picture of a yellow FJ-55 build!

Awesome work, as usual

I know it's been asked before but cannot find the answer reading through the last couple pages - who makes this center console and where can I get one?

This one is actually a Tuffy deluxe universal in 8” wide variety. We are modifying it to work with a 70-series floor mount ebrake handle.

The owner wants a lockable console and nobody makes one, even in RHD. We figured this is the easiest solution vs making one from scratch or modifying an Aussie one.

If ever you need a lockable console again, albeit in RHD configuration in relation to tye parking brake, they are available here in South Africa from a few different manufacturers in a few styles, including false floors with the locks hidden and less easily accessible than the Tuffy unit shown.
