overhead console

anyone tried fitting/modding one from a tundra/camry to fit?

pics for reference...

 

Why? haha it just holds sunglasses and has a light...

 

why not do something different instead of following the same crowd like sheep?

 

woah! i'm down for being creative and doing new things, that's just useless...

 

yea.. especially when my truck already has one of those.. except that it looks better and also tells me the direction Im driving and the temp.

But I fully support your individualism if you would like to install one of those in your truck. Do IT! and post pics

 

what do you have?


i want to add the rear view with the outside temp

 

Sheep are so soft! I like my console better. Thats doesn't really seem worth it to me. Maybe if you didn't have anything, but ours are better IMO.

 

You're in the 1st gen forum. We got no console from the factory

 

I installed an overhead console from a late 90s Tahoe/Suburban in my 04 Taco D-Cab. It requires some minor trimming of the sides but it looks factory. Don't have pics but it's held up for over 5yrs. It holds my garage door opener, my sunglasses, my paperwork, and has two map lights. I can't imagine life w/o it.

 

you're both in the wrong forums...

exactly why i'd like to do it.

I demand pictures.

 

looks just like this dude... except that the factory dome light in the rear is literally butted up right behind it.

 

I know what it looks like in a tahoe/suburban...

 

Back from the dead...

Anyone have any pics of the tahoe console in a double cab?

 

I meant to quote jlink in that. My bad.

 

I was gonna try to fiberglass a switch pod there and use the screws that hold the mirror in to mount it. I’m thinking about trying to mount a sunglass holder as well but I’m worried I’d it’s too heavy it will sag and I don’t want to put screws anywhere else in the ceiling. Maybe if you made it longer you could utilize the dome light mount to hold it up as well. Just put a few layers of painters tape down so the resin doesn’t adhere to the carpeting and make a mold of the ceiling. After that make a thin frame and build up the fiberglass over it. There are plenty of tutorials on custom fiberglass fabrication on YouTube.

 

holy thread revival batman

 

I've wanted to do this for awhile. I think the 3rd gens 4Runner Limiteds had them as an option? That sunglass compartment would be key!

 

JB weld it and you'll have to cut the roof to get it off!
