First generation 4runner console mod

Today i got bored so i decided to paint my console, then i found a sweet sport sticker that used to be apart of my trd sticker so i put that on there. then i mounted a flashlight (very bright flashlight dont let the look fool you) and a knife on the bottom of the top lid. heres some pics...

.











the knife in those pictures is not mounted crooked. i used strong velcro so i could remove the sheath anytime i wanted to.



i also want to mount my midland cb radio where the back ash tray is. anyone ever done this or seen it done becuase i think im going to have some clearance issues with the lid opening.

is that a surfire flashlight? those things are great but expensive

i was going to mount my cobra cb where you wanted one time, but we then discovered yes, the opening of the lid was impossible. i ended up mounting it right to the glove box

and what color was your consol before?

nice console mods but unfortunately it wont work for us with rear heaters since our console is about 2in deep..the knife would take up the entire thing.

the flashlight on the other hand is a great way to use that space,

i dont know what the rear heaters are like but could you mount a knife on the bigger compartment lid? if not you could always mount one on the shifter surround piece
