After 6 years of owning 80 series cruisers I am still searching for the perfect arm rest. She should be blonde or brunette, under 180lbs, love the outdoors, and be very flexible....

I'm mostly joking. I'm just thinking, at night, in poor light, it could be anything. Like an anti-tank weapon!What on earth would he think it was? It's just PVC

Update: The armrest I installed above didn't work out. It broke off clean at the base when I leaned on it to get something out of the passenger seat. This is my new setup:
Here are pictures and Amazon link:
Amazon product
I opened the bottom box and measured it. I cut and inserted a piece of 3/4 inch plywood. This allowed me to bolt it to the console without cracking the bottom portion of the arm rest. I bought it last February and installed it right away. It has held up much better than the first one. It is also more comfortable.

I'm still using this one I made a couple years ago. Still works great. Only drawback is that I can't rotate it up and out of the way if I want to. But I don't really ever feel the need to do that. This pic is from when I first put it in the truck with the factory console.

I now have a DeltaVS center console and the armrest is level with the top of the Delta console. I added a cushion to the top of my Delta console and with the extra armrest in place it's kinda like one big wide armrest. Has made long drives more comfortable.
This pic is just the Delta console with the cushion I added to the top of it. My extra armrest isn't in the truck since I removed it while I installed the console.

Pretty basic/simple design. It mounts to the floor using the rear seat bolt. I built it with tabs for both the rear seat bolt and another bolt that would have to be drilled in the floor, but it's never needed the second bolt. Has felt very sturdy with just the rear seat bolt. Feels much more solid than bolted to the side of the plastic console. I've contemplated making a new bracket to bolt it to the side of the Delta console since it's metal, but there really is no advantage to doing that so I left it alone.

Sorry for the massive delay in getting these posted. I had to redesign and reprint, then I had a sock on it for a while before I got the leather. But here it is in its current form.
Do you remember the armrest name, brand or seller? The link is dead. Thx.

I am still using it as pictured. It works well. I am pretty sure this is it: https://www.amazon.com/Dimeani-Armr...ftermarket+auto+armrest&qid=1733470887&sr=8-1
Ive also been using this style of armrest and its been working great! Cheap on amazon as well. I havent bolted it to my center console yet. Its just wedged between the console and ebrake. Theres a bit of lateral movement as its not bolted down but it hasnt been an issue for me. Ebrake is still able to be pulled up all the way. Its also nice having a tiny bit of extra storage. I keep my dogs treats in there. Eventually I plan to bolt it to the center console but its really not a priority for me. Would definitely recommend if someone is looking for an arm rest.
