2000 Taco console in a 2003

I have a 2003 2.7 4X4 5 speed. I swapped the 60/40 split bench for some buckets and have had my eyes open for a console. Found one a 100 miles away from a 2000. The question is will it fit?

 

It might but do you really want square cup holders?

 

Square is the way for the true JDM Experience

 

It will fit but you need to make sure the 2000 console comes with the 2000 mounting bracket on the bottom, otherwise you won't be able to mount it.

As the other guy said, the cup holders in a 2000 console are a joke.

 

For $100 I can live with square cupholders!

 

No no no, the 95-97 cupholders are the real joke. Flimsy as hell and drip condensation down onto your shift boot while simultaneously blocking you from seeing your climate controls.

 

Those JDM guys must be masochists

 

You don’t want the 95-00 center console. I’d keep looking for an 01-04 one. The former is nearly useless.

 

Subaru had the same stupid idea. My 99 outback has those stupid cup holders. I ended up mounting one to the side of the trans tunnel on the passenger side. Now the old cup holder is just a conversation piece. lol

 

Well, at least it holds the liquid. It could be worse and slowly leak down underneath the console.

 

I remember being a kid and my dads 96 had these I thought it was the coolest thing lol

 

I’m JDM and a masochist

 

Its a drink holder so you don't even need a cup, just a long straw

be a good place to keep a fistful of tater tots too

 

But what if my passenger wants a different drink than me?

I keep the tater tots in the ash tray, extra flavor and they stay warm.
