I have been having the hardest time finding some information, especially pictures, regarding what the factory console and extra cab shelf looked like in a 1986 Toyota SR5 Extra Cab 4x4. I figure if anybody would know, or have some pictures, it would be you all. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

they do .. I have my old shelf upstairs in storage , no pics , but there are tons of threads on this subject



.

 

I'll keep digging through the threads then. I haven't been able to find anything yet. P.S. Would you be interested in selling the shelf?

 

Hmm... where to put the 8-tracks.....

 

I think I finally found a factory shelf but still coming up with lots of questions regarding the console. Did the SR5 option in 1986 have "SR5" stitched into the arm rest on the console? That's what a guy I was talking to today I found on Craigslist was claiming...

 

My SR5 didn't have a stitched arm rest.

The shelf in the back isn't terribly impressive, it's a cheap piece of fiber board covered in carpet that attaches to the two sides with plastic thumb screws, and has a small metal leg in the middle. Mine buckled under the weight of stuff I put on it, so I just built a new one out of MDF

 

I keep hearing that the shelfs break under weight relatively easy. Maybe that's why nobody has one for sale

Maybe you can help me with my next question - what in the world is the metal compartment in the floorboard of my extended cab, under were the shelf should be, for? I thought maybe the jack but I have no idea how the jack would fit in there.

 

It's to hold the jack in place, just like you assumed.
