Not really a write up, but the pics should be pretty explanatory. Costed about 7 dollars, $2 of it being the bolts, screws, washers and nuts. The other is the locking hatch from Walmart.
I came up with this after seeing others using twisting latches which I didn't thing would be all that great since all you'd have to do is push the Lid to the side till the latch came out so I went about making a more secure and stronger lock for the console for when I drive around without my doors on.
The only other thing you'd need it a piece if scrap metal to create a base to anchor the latch on to it center console lid. Use two or four bigger bolts to anchor this piece of metal to the lid as this is what the locking hatch will secure to.
the plastic piece separates from the fake leather/holstery by way of six screws, on the other side of the plastic piece that you secure the metal and latch to, use washers to help spread the load and keep the plastic from breaking or cracking
As you can see it fits pretty good without having a bunch of bolts sticking out and making it look ghetto/tacky. The two(my case, one) bolts on the edge of the lid that you see is barely noticeable when inside the jeep. Coups cover it if you wanted to.
Best part is the latch folds in to the lid as you lift so its not hanging the back or something lol
