Show us your Cupholder / Center console mods

We all know the stock cup holder area is a horrendous waste of space!

I'm trying to get ideas how to use the area better, show us what you have done!

 

Some examples:
@griffin407c



@ROGU3 PR3DATOR



@Tactical Tacoma



Manual trans cup holder:

 

I put my Ditch Light switch, and 2 seat heater buttons in mine

 

not a switch mod.... but my wife made me some Custom Sandstone cupholder inserts (mama bear ones are for her 4Runner )



she did some custom Gears of War ones for a buddy of mine

 

Also, radio installs using removable-face ham radios would apply here:

Similar to @vicali

 

I painted mine. Would like to install a Spod in there whenever I can choke up 750 bucks for a switch panel

 

Slick!

 

I'm currently making a better version of this for my 2012. When I originally did this with my 2005 I ran into clearance issues while using OEM switches in the modified FJ switch panel.

 

I'd like to see more on this, that looks like a great place to put my CB! Super clean!!

 

You can see it in the build thread;

I wish the 3rd gen had that spot.. looking for a clean install again..

 

Switchpros going where the rockers are now very soon:

 

I went with a dark wood grain vinyl, leather shift boot, silver ball shift knob (haha I wrote knob!), amber lighting, and the pre 2012-15 cupholder divider. Not the best work, but I'm just trying a different look to see how I like the wood grain.

 

To LamzTaco:
Details on the leather shift boot looks good

 

Ran accross this HAM radio mount being sold on here as well by @x250f23x

That leather boot looks awesome, I've been thinking of doing something like that. Do you have a writeup on it?

 

Thanks @R490

I don't really have a write up.
I looked for a small boot and went with a Gen 2 MR2 shifter boot. Found it on Amazon, I just search for MR2 shift boot, there are a few options to choose from.
I removed the black plastic shift gator from the center console.
Trimmed the shift boot to fit. Use double stick tape to secure it.

It is not perfect and took small adjustments over time as I used my truck. Easy mod to do if you don't mind taking apart your center console. Could be a better install if you are willing to do some plastic cutting.

happy modding!

 

For Ideas.

 

switchpros also fits there

 

Not much wasted space on the early 6spds, love my three cup holders (and eleven total ). Mine is painted black though; I had 3M carbon fiber look vinyl but it got damaged so I took it off, primed it and painted it for now. I've got two black single 110v outlets on the passenger side just forward of the shifter for plugging in computers, camera battery chargers, etc.
