Aftermarket Center Console Opinions

[GirsMJ86]

This really doesn't have anything to do with MJs specifically since IMO they have a decent console for between the buckets, but I'm looking for a console to stick between some buckets in a Police Interceptor. I thought about yanking one out of a 2000 style Explorer, or maybe from a 97+ XJ (except finding something to fill the shifter hole would be a pain I'd imagine), and there are plenty of aftermarket ones to pick from. So I'm looking for opinions on ones you've maybe used in your rigs. I would prefer something sturdy, with cup holders that work well (something deep enough water bottles don't fall over) since the factory ones suck, and a decent storage bin under the arm rest, as well as a good way to hold it in place (not just using self tapping screws preferred). Oh, and cup holders on the back for the rear seats would be a plus, but not required. Pics would be awesome if you've got any, even just pics from online. I want to stay away from ebay, would prefer to be able to walk into a store and buy it, but ordering from Summit or somebody would be okay. Not looking for a police style console since I have no use for CB mounts and the like, the thing is a DD so looking for something more casual.

 

The thing doesn't even necessarily have to be aftermarket. If you had a vehicle with a center console you really enjoyed that would work for between bucket seats, let me know and maybe I can get lucky in a junkyard.

 

Figured this info could help those swapping to buckets but can't find or don't want the factory console as well.

Contour console. Took this pic while I was taking this Vic out of service.

Man I'd love a laptop mount like that for my work van.
