Is there a difference in the center consoles between the 4runners with rear heat options and non rear heat? My 4runner has rear heat and has a tiny pocket for storage. Does the non rear heater center console have a deeper pocket for storage? I would like some more storage area.

 

My 87 4Runner does not have rear heat and has 2 different storage compartments. One very deep and then another smaller one on top of it under armrest. Hard to explain lol

 

Here is the one I have (pic from Google) there a compartment right under the arm pad, and a deeper storage under that. 2 different parts fold back

 

The heater option console attaches to the heater and the heater to the floor bracket. The non heater option attaches to a different floor bracket. You would also need to weld a new bracket or mod some attachment point.
The front off the consoles use the same bracket.

 

The space you want to use is currently occupied by a blower motor and heater core. If you want to swap consoles, you will have to either relocate the heater assembly to a different location, or remove it all together.

 

Sorry I forgot to mention that my 4runner is a 2nd gen, and I don't mind removing the rear heat completely. I live in south Texas so rear heat isn't needed down here. I was thinking if removing console and necessary brackets off of a donar vehicle if it is deeper.

 

Can someone post a pic of how deep their non heat center console is please?
