Thanks .. as you know "local" is a relative term in SoCal … I do the hump from Rancho Cucamonga to Long Beach 5 days a week, but it is nice to see more and more JLs on the roads here everydayVery cool, prefer the non flap version. Also glad you are just down the freeway
Hey TJ, on the sides of the lower center console towards the front you will see a round plastic disc. If you pop the disc off, behind it is a bolt that attaches the center console to the body (one on each side). You remove the bolt with a 10mm socket and I supply a new longer screw and spacer .. so basically they are bolted to the center console without any vehicle mods. If you look closely at the top picture of the phone holster (the one without a phone in it) you can see the basic location (I have a black plastic screw cover on this one)I really like the saddle bags. I was just thinking, how do they attach to the console?
Ingenious!Hey TJ, on the sides of the lower center console towards the front you will see a round plastic disc.

I love them!Prototype only as these are far from perfect, but I thought I would get some opinions as to overall concept, design and usefulness. Seems like there is always a need to find a place for small items. These are little center console "saddle bags" that mounted without any vehicle mods. Passenger side also has a black "Altoids" tin that holds small objects, loose change, can be used as an EDC pack etc. Items such as sunglasses, my old man reading glasses etc. can be placed either inside the bag or the temples can be slid thru the top strap. These will hold items such as a small flashlight, tactical pen, papers etc. etc. etc. Inside width is a little less than an inch so they do not interfere with driver leg placement. If you have any thoughts or critique, I would love to hear it .. I've got pretty thick skin ... but you can PM me if you would like
(Agreed. I’d want green thread, like my holster)Would be nice to have options on thread color for those of us with non-Rubicons. I have a Mojito Moab so red thread would be a no for me, but if white then a definite maybe!
I’m really liking this. An open one of the passenger side that can fit a phone, and a closed on the drivers (with that ring to clip the holster to), in Mojito thread, and I’d order a set!Guys, the prototyping continues.
Here is what we are up to. I have tried various designs and materials (waxed canvas, buffalo, canvas gussets etc.) and each has let me to up to this. This version is hard molded, but it is a pancake mold and fits the space better. It is a little larger as well. I have some pretty good size hands and can easily reach anything inside.
I put the flap on to help keep items out of site (especially if top/doors are off. I did not want a buckle (because they are a pain) so, there is a leather clasp. which is easy to open/close. The flap is removable (held on by 3 Chicago screws) if someone did not wand the flap on.
Note: this was made with scrap leather hence the pretty cool scar on the flap.... I am probably the only one that likes scarred up leather .. I think it adds character.
Take note of where the bag is by the pics and your seat position; as this may not work for those with the seats pretty far forward. Also, I am not sure about 2 doors with folding the front seat up either
The boss lady is going to try it out this week and she is pretty critical, so we will see what her experience is
Please let me know your thoughts, critique
