    I'm a fan of no badges or decals but that does look very clean. I like it.

    Thanks. I also love the debadge look, but I figured I'd add a little bit. Got the doors debadged as well.
    I'll get some actual pictures of it all cleaned up in a couple days when I have a day off work

    Nice score.

    Are you missing the lid to the bottom compartment of the console?

    And you clearly need the "cup holder thingies" mod: http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/1st-gen-tacomas/14384-cup-holder-thingies-2.html#post2138962

    Let me know if you need help finding the material (ffrg, or whatever his handle is, said he had a hard time sourcing some in AK). I can get a 6x6" sheet of it for $2.50 and ship it to you if need be.

    Ya'll are diving me nuts with these craigslist finds. I can never find SHIT for my truck. I guess I just suck at searching? :notsure: This is the setup I want to go with. I hate the 60/40 seats and I need to make room for a double t-case.

    Yeah 60/40 split. The armrest/storage is part of the driver's seat.

    lol I almost never look at craigslist but I just happened to be browsing the auto parts section last night and stumbled upon these. I hate the 60/40 bench seat to and am stoked to get rid of it :D

    You have a welder and skills.

    You can open up your seat search to many more than just Tacoma seats.

    Speaking of craigslist, I just scored a 10'x10' kitchen worth of solid oak cabinets (uppers and lowers... ditching the under sink ones) for $25.

    Going into the garage for organization

    Madjik-

    What did you use to paint your console and shifter boots? I couldnt find it in your build thred. I want to go all black to cover up some scuff marks.

    I used Duplicolor vinyl and fabric dye for everything you listed above.

    The dye is awesome for the armrest portion of the console and the shifter boots. But doesn't seem to penetrate or adhere well to the plastic portions of the console... mine has two tiny scratches in it already on the side of the upper storage bin.

    If I had to do over again I'd use a plastic specific primer and paint for the plastic parts, let them cure for about a week, then install it.

    Thanks for the info! Maybe ill try the krylon paint for plastic on the plastic parts and then the vinyl dye for the rest.
