GU Second glove box mod DIY!!!

[mudski]

Good money maker.. There was one on ebay recently for $250.

Yeah but theres a bit of time involved to make one. Well for me anyway. Maybe a cabinet maker could whip one up in no time.

I just edited the write up so you don't have to click on the pics to enlarge them. If they are still too small let me know and I can make them bigger.

Clever!
Obviously a repeatable design unlike my ‘one-off’. Credit to the maker. However I’m not sure the slide out design adds anything useful & I think there is less internal space than mine. Certainly a good alternative to the other commercial offering.

It no extra internal space at all. same space open or shut.

If somone could make a fiberglass one, they'd have the market cornered. Simple case of glassing a blank and adding hinges and lock. Id buy one if reasonably priced. $250 is a bit steep in my opinion and would force me to DIY but he knows there's a market there.

You sound like 3dogs. If you DIY you’ll probably end up thinking that $250 is a reasonable price for ‘plug n play’. However the real cost of ‘plug n play’ is reduced capacity to the extent that it raises the question as to whether it’s worth bothering.

Nothing better than doing a DIY and the job finishes up just how you hoped. Better than paying top dollar for one in my opinion.
