Center console/Armrest

[mkfour]

So I've had the 80 for about 40 hours. Everything is great, but one thing that bothers me is the center console/armrest. I want a real armrest/center console, similar to the ones found in full size trucks.

To accomidate this the parking brake has to be relocated and modified. I believe the Tundra has the parking brake to the far left of the pedals. One press to engage and a second press to release.

This would free up the extra 4" or so and a used console can be put in after creating a base. This does mean that we would lose the little stub that was meant for who knows what.

Any thoughts?

Airlaird on the 80's list made a retro fit armrest and sold them for a while. Contact him for info. I'd do that before I delved into the demons that would arise with relocating that e-brake...

That sounds like alot of work for a bigger armrest, I would follow Mike's advice and see if Airlaird is still offering his. If it were me I would make my own retrofit armrest to get the size arm rest you are looking for without messing with the ebrake. The relocation you suggest would take a huge amount of fabrication and more than likely a custom ebrake cable combining the two respective ends you would need. Good luck either way and if you go for the gusto post up what you come up with.

Or you can contact Chariots Of Fire locate in San Diego.About 8 yrs ago they relocated the 80s hand brake to the left side, right underneath the fuse box.

I would rather have a swing down armrest added to my drivers seat. That would be SWEET.
