Bolt replacement is easy. It's just a nut and bolt. If I remember correctly, is a metric bolt, small, 10mm? The closest sae bolt would be 3/8". I would highly recommend against doing that, mainly because 1. The bolt is smaller, and 2. The increased air gap around the bolt (in the hole) will be more.... And it doesn't matter how tight you make that bolt, it will shift, and eventually loosen. If you get death wobble a lot, even more reason not to do it. If you REALLY want an sae bolt in there, then just drill the bracket and sleeve out to 7/16". Most hardware stores have metric fasteners though.

Disclaimer:
The sizes I mentioned were a pure stretch of my memory, as my "track bar" bolts are 3/4" thick grd8 bolts.... Been a while since I've messed with the baby factory ones.

 

Draw it out on paper or Ms paint.... They're super simple. Or, chalk in your driveway for full size

 

maybe ill try the 10mm then, i just dont have many metric tools. i know if i do put a sae in there and it does wobble out the hole im gonna be in a world of hurt cause as it sits the hole is in good condition. if i could find a donor jeep with not so much rust on it i could salvage the bolt out of it but i guess ill just have to go to a hardware store and find a bolt that fits the sleeve. also does anyone recommend putting anti seize in the sleeve so it wont gall up later on?

 

Invest in Metric tools. That's the majority of what's on your Jeep

 

fabbed up some gun center consoles. yall think $85 is a fair price shipped to the lower 48?

 

Does it lock?

 

10000/10 that would get the **** stolen out of it regardless of locking mechanism

 

I'm just talking about carrying a concealed firearm and ammunition within reach of the driver. That's a huge problem in a lot of states, and I'd want to look into liability laws if I were selling them.

 

it has a double-roller lock. no sense in a lock, hinges could be ripped off.

 

I agree. As a seller, I think you would might need to familiarize yourself with concealed weapon laws in various states and have some kind of disclaimer so the buyers know what they are getting themselves into when they buy your product

 

ill just sell it as a Freedom Console then. 2nd Amendment is the law of the land, and if we allow them to strip us of our most important right as Americans and give them back to us for a fee, we are just sheeple... give em an inch and theyll take a mile. the 2nd protects all the rest of our rights and our lives.

 

Okayyyyyy....

 

Tell that to the state of Maryland after you're stopped with a concealed firearm and loaded magazine next to you.

I agree with your stance in theory, but it doesn't change state law
