coud you take a picture of this mod please. I'm not sure where this throttle body is. would like to try it out. once it is done can you still adjust your brake and gas pedals in and out? when I drive long distances I like to change my seating position as much as possible for medical reasons.
thanks a bunch.
Jean.

Had 4 hours when I was home this weekend to squeak out a new little center console to fit my new backup monitor.

I plan to add a few switches beside the monitor for my lighting system. I may had some height to it now so I don't have to reach over to hit the switches.

Cost? Probably $5 once I buy the cup holder inserts.
In the near future I'll had power ports and USB ports on the side, and carpet the side walls.

Guess I'll update again. :P

Went on a 1,700 mile road trip last week, decided it needed to be taller. So I built some legs for it, and finally go the backup camera in the mail and installed.

Now the dashcam, monitor, and CB Radio are on a single switch that goes to the power outlet.

That's pretty cool. I like the carpet match. What's the red button on the right for? Air horns?

I have a set of air horns from a Diesel Pusher waiting to go on whenever I get my OBA installed. Debating having a separate switch for them, or tap into the horn relay wire.

The black is to my train horns, and the red is the compressor cutoff in my tool box.
