Center console replacement for stick shift on 2005 Rubicon Sahara

[464of1000]

I am looking for recommendations from anyone who has a 2005 TJ Unlimited with a stick. I want to replace the console, looking at Tuffy, I don't need the place for the speaker, as I want storage instead. Also, If anyone on this post is interested in getting my old console. It's beat up, but not much worse than some that I see on EBay.
I'm also replacing my seatbelts just in case anyone has prior experience with any companies out there for seatbelts. I understand from Seatbelt Planet that the front seat-belt systems are a more involved process in replacing the whole set up. I'll be perusing the threads for any information in addition to replies on this thread.

Ever think about a 50 cal ammo can?

I ordered a set of belts for my 97 from Seatbelt Planet. No real instructions on how to install them...took a lot of trial and error to figure it out.

And after 2-3 months my driver side isn't retracting any more. I need to contact them for a replacement.

I heard that there may be problems with the retractions based on what year the OEM was installed. I am planning on sending my original front seat belts in for re webbing so that the original retraction equipment and connections for the seatbelt connected indicator remained OEM.
I also just ordered a Tuffy console that's lockable and should be a good fit.
