Lets see interior mods.

Scan Gauge mount... Didn't like factory suction cup mount ... so off to Home Depot and found something I could adapt into a suitable mount. Cutting the original factory mount and using JB weld to secure it.. A little black paint and it's done

I used a heat gun to heat up the plastic pipe to bend it ... If you're thinking of mounting a tablet and attaching it to the A-Pillar... You might want to reinforce the pillar cover with some fiberglass it's pretty flimsy...just to handle the weight or use two attach points...

No, I was thinking making a pod for the tablet kinda the way you did your door speakers, except for my dash.

This is going to be a good thread. I just ripped the interior out of my excursion to change things up a bit. It will be slow going but I will post up some pics.

Custom Switch Plate and Relay Box

I bought 7 LED's including a 42' Light bar that I planned to mount on my Rhino Rack and needed a switch plate. I found a company, Concours Specialties in Ohio and spoke to the owner Greg about my needs..... I wanted a complete plug and play system... The plan was to mount a relay box in the back of the Cruiser and run power wires from my second battery... The relay box was setup to run 7 LEDS, 2 12v plugs..one in front and one in the rear for a fridge..and a USB in the front..All the accessory plugs are consent hot..
The relay box also had 12 ft of wires that ran to the switch plate.... all I had to do was plug in the connector and another set of wires that ran through the the roof via a cable gland and a waterproof connector for the roof lights.
I sent Greg my front center console and he sent me this.

My favorite 3rd gen 4Runner mod...field monitor unit from a Hilux Surf from Japan or New Zealand. We were never offered this option in the states, so just find this from a wrecked Surf (4Runner) overseas and you'll get a compass, altimeter, barometer, outside temp and trip altimeter. Perfect fit and minimal work, best interior mod I have done by far and works great after 2 years.

Before.



After

Where did you get that black plate in front of the shifter?

The guys at Concours made the switch plate...some sort of plastic. i sent them my console and it came back with the plate, switches 12v and USB attached.

Hmmm. That looks very nice. I wonder if it will fit into an 80? It still has sunroof controls and light, so it may be a fairly easy swap.

Probably Kydex.
