I spent a couple hours mocking up a dash design. I went a bit overboard with the cardboard and masking tape, but in order for me to get a full visual, this is the route I chose. I've drove it around the neighborhood a couple times to see how it would feel. Everything feels like it's in the place it should be in.
Dash features:
9" Monitor
(2) 4-5" water resistant speakers
(12) ARB style switches
(10) Indicator lights
(2) Cup holders
(2) Elbow pads
(4) Autometer Sport Comp 2" gauges
Ipod peripheral and power cord
RA Designs Products Raill II or Baja II shifter
Cherokee OEM center console box and lid
Sheet metal will feature a 2" sun visor and rolled bead
I intend on tearing this mockup out and starting on the real thing within the next week or two.
