Overhead console swap?

So I have an issue with my overhead console not staying in place, aka it's broken.


Has anyone swapped in an aftermarket console or one from another make/model and make it work out?

I have not, but did look into it kinda hard. The problem I encountered was having to take out the sun visors and use their mounting places for the new console then reinstall the visors. The location of the current overhead light and switch would have to be modified to be incorporated in the new console. I concluded it was too much work for me at that time but might look into it again later... good luck take pics so I can copy...lol

I think I'll order in the ARB FJ Cruiser overhead console to see if it'll work in the Xterra. If it doesn't, I'll just re-sell it at work.

Interesting project, I can't see why it wouldn't work. Might require some cutting to the front edge of the console to seemlessly cover the stock hole. But, I've seen your work on rcc. I'm sure you know how to use a dremel.

Thats pretty good looking. I wonder if the length will work before the roof steps up and if it'll cover the middle dome light.

That was my concern as well when I looked into one just to have a place for my CB. If it would fit, it would be my next project.
