Center console organizer for Gen2 Tacoma

It should fit. Mine's an '07 DC and he based the design off his '12. I dont think they have changed up their center consoles in the 2nd Gens.

Shipping
Seller was contacted about the product on 5/9/2012 at 11:40pm. Seller shipped the product, and PMed me by 02:19PM on 05-11-2012 giving a one day handling time on a beta product that was being sent for free. The item arrived in a cardboard envelope (similar to the flat rate USPS packaging) packaged tightly. The seller advised in his initial email that he was “…ordering some poly bags to fit better for the next batch.” This might be nice, but I don’t think it’s necessary, if it helps keep the cost down. The pieces can’t move in the envelope, and even if they could damage is highly unlikely.



What’s included?
There are four pieces included in the kit.


All four are easily connected to form the dividers in seven different configurations to suit your needs.




Install
My console before:


The install is very straight forward. You choose what dividers you want to use and put them in place. I chose to leave the middle divider out of the mix, as my Oakley sunglasses case did not fit into any of the dividers if I did not.


Install instructions from the seller are as follows: “Install the 3 short ones first with the slits facing up and the notches facing the console hinge. Once those are in position slide the long plate down onto the short ones lining up all the slits to make the grid. If you want CD storage skip the center short plate.” There’s not much more you can add to these instructions. They’re fairly idiot proof.




What I would do differently
The divider is designed so that you place the cross sections in first, then lock them in place with the center piece. This makes it especially difficult to change the organizer on the fly, requiring you to remove everything from the console, and fully disassemble the organizer to get one piece out. Switching the notches around would allow you to change up your organized setup on the fly if necessary.



Conclusion
This console organizer is something that is fairly nice to have. The versatility makes it something that everyone can appreciate. The divider is very sturdy, and will not rattle around inside your console. The top of the divider is recessed allowing you to place larger items on top if necessary, meaning you don’t lose the ability to store larger items. As for a good price point, I would expect something like this to go for around $20 shipped. Package showed that it was $3.65 to ship from Colorado to Florida, so hopefully a $16.35 price point is good enough for the seller to still make a profit.

My console after:

 

ooo I want...

cant wait till there avaliable!

 

what about doing something like this? like having the middle divider in the way were you could have the big opening at the front or back? or do you think it would move around too much?

 

Nice! I need this! I found my first mod

 

Subbed! Looking forward to the TacomaWorld Group buy! Great idea OP.

 

Just wanted to thank my testers so far for the detailed reviews. Dan mentioned switching the order of installing the pieces for "config on the fly". I tried that on an earlier prototype. The hinge of the console won't let you pull the short pieces straight up so they have to go in first. Looks like we have '07,'11, and '12 models covered so far.

I have 50 ready for pick up Wednesday and will try and get them on EBAY Wednesday night. $20 including shipping in the lower 48.

 

You should take orders here first to avoid ebay charges!

 

Will your seller name on ebay be your TW handle?

 

I'm not a fan of EBAY charges but to sell beyond TW I need the feedback and exposure.

 

Agree...hopefully the fees won't be too harsh. LMK when you get the auction up and I'll grab one from you.

 

Sell the first 50 here and then go to eBay with the next batch. I'm in and will Paypal today to kick you off. Let me know.

 

I'm in too... looking forward to something to organize that mess!

OP, have you contacted tcBob about becoming a vendor? Even if you're not a vendor, you can still sell on this site (I believe).

 

I'll take a set....could definately use the organization.
Let me know how you want to handle the transaction.
Thanks

 

I'm in either way, but would like to be in the first round of sales!!

 

This is a simple but great idea. I'm in.

 

I think you would get plenty here then you can jump over to EBAY and refer back to this site for refrense on how they are selling!
With that said I'd like to purchase one!

 

Finally. I have parts up on EBAY. My seller name is salex5280. Here is the link http://www.ebay.com/itm/30071190767...em=&sspagename=ADME:L:LCA:MOTORS:1123&vxp=mtr
