Freightliner MS cockpit console (cubby)
Anyone found a suitable center console for the M2, other than the overpriced fab5? With so many Freightliner M2s on the road you’d think someone would have come up with a good product. All I’ve seen are wrong sized, not enough cup holders, too many cup holders, not to the wife’s taste, etc.
(Sorry, M2, not MS)

I couldnt find anything else, but I love my Fab5. I dont feel it is overpriced for what you get. It is sturdy and heavy, doesnt move around.
The extra cupholders and storage underneath are awesome.
Good luck with your search.

X2 what halla said. I have a Fab5 and love it. I thought the price was fair.

It's a fair price for a hand fabricated item for sure. Don't think the freightliner market is big enough to attract china's attention in this case

I figured I’d build one out of cherry to match the cabinets since I have a wood shop in my basement.

Like Vietch, I couldn’t justify that price. Not saying anything about value, it just wasn’t for us. We ultimately found a fairly rigid, but flexible console at Walmart. When we first got it, we were skeptical, but gave it a try. It turned out to be just what we wanted. It fits perfectly, doesn’t slide around, has 2 cup holders, pouches around the outside for phones, hand sanitizers, etc, and a reasonably large center compartment for whatever you want to toss in it.

It’s a Members Mark (Sams Club) product I bought on Amazon.
Search for Members Mark car console. You get 2 for $21.99. They come in different colors.

Unfortunately, the Fab5 product will not work with the sound system upgrade box below the center dash. Anybody come up with a solution with this upgrade?
