has anyone ever made their armrest into a storage box? im building a custom sub box in place of where our current "glove box" is so i was looking at turning the arm rest into another one. i opened it up and i think its possible to just take a dremel to where the plastic welds are and then building a metal/wood box in that space. now its not very much space but i just need it to hold my registration and pike pass so im not needing much room. i have read that it does get hot right there from the drive train, maybe putting some insulation there will help?

what do you guys think?

 

That would be one great DIY if you can get that down. I would love a little extra space, plus that might be a great option for guys who install roll cages and a harness bar since they loose the secret compartment.

 

Havent seen it done, but I think it would be pretty cool. If you end up trying something a DIY would be awesome.

 

alright. ill try and start this weekend on it, i think what ill do is weld together a little metal box and then use that paint that looks and feels like ryno lining in truck beds. and then just weld on that hinge and then job well done haha

 

Weld??? Well there goes me ever doing this. Can't weld

 

You could make it out of wood too. Or anything really. I just chose metal cuz i have some extra stuff at the house.

 

Status update?

 

I took my soft top out and built a sub box there instead so I didn't have to lose my glove box. Sorry guys

 

anyone else try it yet?
