GX CoolBox Removal

[YellowLab]

Has anyone seen details or instruction on how to remove the cool box and revert back to the traditional console storage? The box to me is a waste of space - pretty worthless.

I have been wondering this too, as well as if there’s any space under the high center console area. There must be an AC duct/vent in the cool box so not sure how to deal with that.

I've been hoping to find someone thats done it since we got ours and realized how little storage there is. I found this thread on the LC Forum (LC Forum- Cool Box) along with the attached document which is very discouraging as there are not just ac "air" lines, but rather what looks to be ac refridgerant lines. That may be more than I am willing to jump into right now. My wifes collection of things she never uses could just have to remain in cold storage.

You're gonna get a frozen margarita "to go" one of these days and wish you still had that tiny little box!!

I want to do the same. All I have found is this video.
From the looks of it there is refrigerant lines ran to it and RideaCanyon's PDF shows the same. You would have to discharge the whole system and cap. Seems like a hassle.

This is nuts. Just use the cool box for storage and live with slightly reduced capacity.

Well it wouldn't be nuts if it was way easier, but yeah...

It is nuts. I wanted a console safe though.

That's disappointing in several ways. I was hoping it could easily be swapped out and you would think for something to have refrigerant lines it would do an impressive job at keeping things cold.
