It's not even the lower part that I don't like. It's the empty space under the cover/armrest. The space under the sliding trays is, itself an unorganizable space. But the trays will end up with stuff on them, often making it a pain to access the space below. I'm not going to shove things into that space under the armrest. I'd rather have something there that can hold things I need easier access to where I can just lift up the armrest for access. I may build and mount some kind of box in there that the armrest would serve as the top to.

so yours has an enclosed space under the armrest? that's what I need!
ours is just this, with an empty space underneath where you can't really put anything because the front tray needs to slide into that space in order to access the space below.
Why don't you guys move the electronics discussion into its own thread?Yup, the antennas are portable, only for stationary use.
Be careful of heat buildup, there is no ventilation in there. I unplug it or take the unit out of the car if it's going to sit in hot weather.
A radio would probably create even more heat.
I have a new rig on the way to me, but somehow I don't think a KWM-2A is going to fit in the console.
73s.
Yes. that's the same as the one I posted, with the armrest open.
I need to figure out a better way to use that space under the armrest... even if it means mounting some kind of box in that space, leaving enough room for the front tray to still slide back.
Haha! My shotgun isn't sawed off. so it won't fit.
and I keep my kilos in the door panels, thankyouverymuch.Honestly...there's nowhere for small things in this car... the mail key, a few pens, some bandaids, chapstick, hair ties, a tampon or two and that kind of stuff. My kids may be teens, but I'm still their mom!
I need to be prepared with these things when the zombie apocalypse hits!
They're different now. It's 2 flat pieces and the front slides on top of the back one. It's hinged at the back wall of the armrest and doesn't just slide out like that.
I have the perfect solution but it won't work with the tray in place, even folded up. Thanks though
Thanks. I'll see if I can get it disassembled.
I lost interest....
Taking it apart just wasn't worth it.
It's still a black hole of space that has completely missed the point of functionality. I'll definitely be watching for someone to design a way to reconfigure it to something useable. 🤷♀️
