Default FINISHED! My DIY Triple Radio Overhead Console with GPS

In my old TJ I had a 2 space tuffy overhead console. But due to the lack of a dual overhead console for the jk, I decided to create my own, but with three spots. It's made out of 3/4" black starboard that was CNC routed and also used black acrylic laser cut for the radio bezels and cover plates. Right now is a Cobra 29 LX and a Scanner. The open spot right above the rear view mirror is going to be for a VHF/UHF Radio that is coming soon. I still had enough room for a ext speaker or even two more radios or whatever else i can come up with. Plus these radios are all wired in the pics... The wires hide nicely! Come out nice...

UPDATE!

All finished!! Finished it with a external CB speaker, Custom buttons for garage door and other accessories, a Yaesu 8800 UHF/VHF Radio and a Magellan 1700 ripped apart and custom fit into the console. All looks like it came from factory I think!

That's a sweet set up. I will settle for the tuffy for my 2012. No way near that talented. I'm envious of those who are.
