Tahoe console install

[CitationX]

Greetings! I own a 2005 Chevy Tahoe Z71 and would like to use the storage shelves in the console to install radios (a scanner and a dual-band mobile). I've Googled in an atempt to find a kit or whatever to facilitate this. I've also searched this thread and haven't found anything. Can anyone suggest a resource or perhaps a vendor who does this sort of thing? Thanks!

Thanks Steve! That's the closest thing to what I've sought. If I'm only installing two radios, it seems like overkill, but I might go that route anyway. Cheers!

Actually, that console is 250-300 bucks depending on who you get it from. I shopped around for a month and ended up getting it for a few bucks above dealer cost at $250. I put it in my truck oiver the weekend and words can't describe it. I'll upload some pics very shortly. Well worth the money in my opinion.

Here's what I have in my console so far. (At the very top of the pic is is a BCT-15 in a double-din mount and right above the actual console is a Kenwood TM-D700A which is waiting on some time for wire routing

The Top slot in the console is my Icom 706MKIIG remote head in a modified Spectra bracket

Under that is my VHF Remote Spectra (for sale) in a Troy Consoles faceplate ( I was short a Jotto Desk Face plate)

On the bottom is my UHF remote mount Spectra with DEK

And last but not least, a cigarette lighter plug / rocker switch faceplate.

All went in very easy. The Top VHF Spectra is coming out and a Kenwood TK-790 will go there when I can get the blasted thing working (grrrrrrrr)

I work with alot of Jotto Deks products in my work and they are very good products.

I also have a 2005 Tahoe and plan to set mine up like this once I get my Ham ticket. The Silverado and Tahoe have the same setup.

I did this for a while. It is VERY cramped behind that bottom pocket in my 03 silverado. There's plastic bracing and other waste back there which can be cut out with a dremmel tool to open up more room. I haven't checked the newer ones to see if it's the same but mine wouldn't go all the way back, even with the back of the pocket cout out.
