That's awesome! will you have different options for the tops?
Maybe a couple small led lights in the bottom to illuminate the contents of the console?
How about designing it around a removable wireless charger such as this one which can leave the vehicle with you? Rugged Portable Wireless Charger

I like the dual USB slot moved over to the driver's side. What is going in the actual ash tray slot? I assume those are rocker switches above that?
Could the Scangauge fit in the middle? I have m6v6 for the change pocket and the Ram mount arm would block the view of the Scanguage. Maybe Scanguage in the middle with 1 round socket on each side? Rocker switches could still go above, or below, the Scanguage?? I don't remember what there is for room behind there so it may not work.
Or omit the rocker switch cutouts for those that don't need them. Since the Scanguage is relatively shallow in depth, it could be mounted in any position. Not trying to make it harder, just throwing out ideas. I don't have a need for the rocker switch cutouts so the Scangauge in the middle with one socket on each side would be ideal.

I'd still prefer to see a relocation of the Center Diff and Hazard buttons in the ashtray location
@BenCC I think this is one of those makes where flexibility is key. Personally, I'd like to see a main frame with one or two vertical supports and then a variety of snap-in inserts that can house different items. For me, I'd love the relocated CDL and Hazard switches and then just a series of switch blanks. I can see others wanting maybe a small GMRS radio, brake controller etc. That's kind of a tough spot for the ScanGauge, visibility-wise, IMO.

That looks great, Ben, I think the current design would be a significant upgrade for most folks, and that's a great spot for the scangauge. Is the plan to make it black?

I agree with the modular design. We have two ways to do that. We can either make the part modular as you mentioned or make the CAD modular. I can config the CAD and print a solid and whole part.
Yes that place is also good for brake controller. I have folks requesting that.
That looks great! How many switches do you think would fit vertically if you got rid of the USB and powerlet?
That would be perfect. I could use one of the Blue Sea USB outlets to fit a switch blank, maybe have a blank spot to panel-mount a winch remote plug and then 4 switches.
