1991Jeep Man - I will make a tracing of it and shoot them to you in an email. It was actually super easy to do, and when I read about the other build up on here the mounting was easy too.
I used 2 "L" brackets for like a buck, and when you take down your sunvisor retainer clips, you just put the "L" brackets up under those! Nice, clean, solid, and hidden!
The back part is just one screw holding up the back into the origonal clip.

As of right now, I have my tire iron, assorted screw drivers, and my rachet straps. There are also audio wires and some lengths of rope. I will be carrying more usefull stuff in the future, when I finish this cross country move.
I will take more pics and post them. I drilled out 2 holes in it, one nearest to the back for the wire to enter and one in the middle for the wires to exit for the rear light.

Where did you get the tool box? How is it mounted? And how much weight can it hold. And Nice console cant wait to here more about the speaker mounting also. Did you make the speaker holder?

The sound bar is nothing more than a stock XJ soundbar that is usually mounted in the rear. I picked it up at a junk yard along with my headliner.
The toolbox I picked up, along with another one, out of the trash brand new with the stickers and papers and all still in them. They are for pick up truck tailgates, but all I did was invert it. Im not sure what they will hold, but it is holding strong and not moving now. I just screwed into the crossbar with 4 selftapping screws on the front edge and then 3 on the back into where the old light used to be.
I will run out and take a few pics of the soundbar, but I have to wait for the battery to juice up.

here are two pics of the rear toolbok open, hanging down it rests on the back seat.
There is another pocket hanging behind the screwdrivers where I keep my light bulbs in a hard plastic case.
