Got a New Jeep !!
I am thinking of a custom console since I don't have a shifter on the floor in the way. And a set of nice replacement seats from some sports car in the Junkyard. Any Ideas or photos to offer?

Man, that is AWESOME. I am very jealous of that column shifter. Badass for sure. Why don't you like the center console that is included? What do you want to get out of it, exactly, if you build a custom one?
Large Lockable storage with a couple of good cup holders, plenty of useable space. I have a 3"x5"x12' piece of walnut just beggin for the table saw
Or I might get me some Baltic birch Plywood (13 plies) to do it. I do like Hickory

Hey TSSGuy123, thanks for the link foe the VIN search. Chrysler sent me the full build sheet and it has the Police Pkg, and Super heavy duty EVERYTHING!
It does have the High Idle switch but it doesn't do anything.
It has the 4.0L, AW4 4-speed tranny w/ lock-up torque converter, dana M30/181MM front axle, 35C/194MM Rear Axle 3.55 Ratio. It says 4-wheel anti-lock brakes, but they are Drums all around.
I got it to work while in gear but as soon as there is a higher torque demand, it return back to regular idle. so like mentionned previously.
Good cooling in trafic, AC, higher oil pressure not to mention better during winching.
I still need to get my a/c heater blower working on all speeds. It just stopped chaging speeds and only works on low. I went to switch it and when I rotated the dial (this time) it wouldn't change. Not sure it is the fan switch or the resistor? A/c still makes cold, just not blowing out very fast.
