    Ahh... leather seat covers here. I'll need to strap it in.

    I've had a $30 plastic console in there since I got the truck, but it's not good at holding drinks and they are too close, the bucket is too small, and it has two worthless trays in front with a LOT of wasted space under them that could be used for a bucket. I guess one is supposed to be a tissue tray because it came with a "lid" with a square hole in the middle.

    But it's light, and any time I brake hard, I have to remember to rest my elbow on it or it goes flying.

    I had the big SUV version from the same company in my Suburban. It was nice and roomy, and the cupholders were usable.

    Interesting, Your right though the underside is just like the soft side of Velcro,

    I am liking the console, I wish I had a spare 90 bucks to throw away and i'de get the smaller one i see on eBay all the time so I could compare them,

    I still wish Toyota would let 4X4 RC 5-spd owners get buckets again, It makes no sense why they deleted this...:mad:

    I'de trade up as soon as it became available.

    Love your wheels bro,

    I have a budget for tires right now, maybe next year I can get some wheels also...

    Those look great on your truck!

    I stumbled upon it deep in an eBay search, I did look up the other items from the seller and they just seemed to be old car parts, and then this Clutter Catcher console, I had to look as the item pictures closely to cathc the model number 300 on the box, then searched and found the specs on the manufacturers webpage, went to my truck and out came the tape measure. I said "AW Heck! This may work"

    Thankfully I won it,

    Looking good man,

    The stance is awesome,

    I am wondering if a 265/75/16 Duratrack will clear my front mud guards with these wheels,

    By chance do you have your TPM Sensors in those wheels?

    I am thinking Matte GM Grey for my Silver RC,

    There has to be an easy way to just put some buckets and a center console in. That is what I am thinking of doing with my truck.

    yeah, yours and the guys you are replying to had them from the factory. A lot of people get bent when you start deleting airbags and such. I would be curious how a trade-in would go if you gave them a car with airbags missing.

    Well, I could always just search a few junk yard and find some seats, then do something in the way of a console,

    Honestly I am very curious if Toyota is going to offer buckets in the 2014, I would be very tempted,

    But my G/F and hope to be wife can't drive a manual, she doesn't want to try and learn in my Tacoma,

    Honestly if I could get another motorcycle like a dual support, I would be just fine getting an auto, lol... With buckets of course!

    my shifter boot is permanently not attached, previous dog stepped on it a couple times and all the clips are broken, got mad the 1st time then thought about the fact that th 110lb dog barely fits up there... all good.

    i recently had a guy put some extra foam into my drivers side of the bench seat, under butt and in lumbar area along with side support, seems much better.

    as for the buckets there is a write up that shows how to trick the airbag connecter with a couple resistors for the curtain airbags, it uses 3 1.1ohm resistors i believe.....

    What type of clips hold the shifter boot? My truck doesn't have anything to hold it. I just jammed it down on the shifter and it stays there for the most part.....

    It arrived today. I like it. PLENTY of room, and the cup holders look much more effective.

    I was thinking I'd use the seatbelt... dopey me forgot the center belt is a complete belt and shoulder harness rig.
    Scratch that.
    I ordered some 1.5" seatbelt webbing material and some side-latch buckles. I'll loop it around under the seat through the seatbelt holes.
