    Pretty simple, found a "climbing chalk bag" that I liked, a lot of folks on here tend to use a "Static" branded climbing bag. Here is the thread about installing one and different ways folks have gotten the bag to stay in place.

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/tool-less-32oz-cupholder-mod.672736/

    I just looped two zip ties around the belt loops on the chalk bag, placed either loop on the sides of the center console clip and then sandwiched the cloth and got the center console to clip back. Pretty happy with it so far and all in all, think it cost me $18 after shipping and taxes.

    That brings me back to my Honda days! I had modified my stock grille with a few pieces of that and it looked pretty good, fi I do say so myself.

    I like the fact it's cheap, makes things look better, and protects condenser/rad. When I get a chance it's going to happen on my 2nd Gen

    If you search tooless cup holder there are a couple write ups on it. Basically get a chalk bag (rock climbing) for $10-20 and throw a long bolt in the belt loops before wedging it under your center console. I have an AT and use it all the time for yeti bottles or anything too big for the factory cup holders.

    I feel like getting a 9” screen and wireless Apple CarPlay is cheap at under $400… my favorite mod I’ve done in that price range.
    Obviously more expensive than chalk bag and stickers, but compared a $1400 Alpine… definitely a steal
