interior help

so i split a big ass soda in my truck today because toyota thought it would halarious to make square cup holders........can anyone tell me how to remove the leather shift boot and the trim thats around it so i can clean the mess up. its a 2000 xtra cab 4x4

 

There are 2 screws holding the console to the front trim piece, and inside of the console, on the bottom, I think you'll find a single screw holding it to the center hump. It should be fairly easy to take the whole console out and wash everything up. You'll have to remove the shift knob too, if I recall. Been a few years since I took mine apart.

 

awsome thanks! does the shift nob screw off? i never removed that thing either

 

Yes, you should be able to unscrew it by hand. I never liked those square cupholders either! You might be able to cut a piece of foam or something to make things a little more stable.

 

ya i have been tryin to figure out a way to install REAL cup holders.....i dont know about you but i dont own any square cups

 

I think the square cup holders were a joke playe well by the Japanese engineers......

Fa Ra Ra Ra Raa Raa Raaa Raa Raa Raaaaa!

 

its got to be....how can you come up with such an amazing vehicle and then screw the pooch on the cup holders
