Show us your Cupholder / Center console mods

Anyone have a 2nd-gen base model with a bench seat and 5-speed manual? I'm trying to see what it's supposed to look like...I think when I got my truck it was missing cupholder inserts and maybe a bezel around the shifter boot. The boot pops out without even pulling on it. Here's a pic of what the console/cupholder area looks like (excuse the spilled coffee...).

 

Hello rmeyer7, I am not going to be a lot of help. However I look around for awhile for a very low mileage base truck. I a few. All had the same set up. Many the boot had fallen when I drove it. Some I never drove so the boot stayed in place. My 2013, looks just like yours. The bottom of the boot is fitted with a spring metal that fits into clips on the underside of the plastic. However mine only has two on the left and two on the right. Nothing at the top or bottom. It has a isosceles trapezoid shape and therefore it slides and comes unclipped. I have been searching for any information on it. Yours is the first I have found. I do not know if mine has a clip missing or broken. If yours is different let me know. I am going to see a dealer soon and ask them. But the closet dealer is a 3 hour round trip.

 

you are missing the cup holders. I will take a picture of mine and post later.

 

I think it matches the interior pretty well. It was a little scuffed up so I figured what the neck.

 

Needs to be cleaned

 

The spam musubi makes it all come together.

 

...or has visited. Upon return from our last trip to Maui & ordered a press so I could make my own.

 

You know it!

 

Try replacing the spam with smoke brisket. Smoke brisket musubi lol.... One day gonna try.

Back on topic lol. Did big cup holder mod and added oil pressure and trans temp gauge in console.

 

This is the only picture I have... I just painted and added Bumper LED Bar and Fog OTRATTW Switches

 

Thanks, that's what I thought. I was hoping maybe there was some type of bezel I was missing, but assumed probably not. At least I still have clips remaining on 3 out of the 4 sides.

 

I figured that was probably the case. Only issue I seem to run into is that when I search for cup holders, they all say they're for separate seat models instead of bench. I'm hesitant to order them in case the size is slightly different or something.

 

Update:

 

How much room is underneath the console there where the switches are? Like in depth. I am considering cutting it out like you did but putting a tray there similar in style to the one next to the shifter.

 

Looks great, did you make that cupholder panel for the gauges? Also where did you tap for trans temp?

 

Direct to battery

 

Yea . Made panel for gauges with sheet metal . Trans temp welded bung onto pan
Ran wires up were park cable comes up through floor .
