I've never thought of using one. In fact when I bought my FJ new in 2012 I was also looking at the Nissan Xterra and the main reason I went with the FJ was because the Xterra door armrest had a big cutout right where my elbow sat that was very uncomfortable. The FJ armrest was comfortable enough.
Hadn't thought of looking at anything aftermarket, but my armrest is cracked and I need to do something about it. I'm interested in the answers here too....

There is an FJ review a few reviews in. I’ll go with this until I make my own.

Another option ... don't have experience with it, but looks viable.

I ordered the one I posted. Will report back. I’d like to make a leather bean-baggy one with a small pouch for a flash light or change.
Side note.... I’m also looking for good cell phone mount ideas if you have any that don’t mess with vents.

I sit so far forward that I can't use the armrest, normally steer with my left hand, and shift with my right (love the armrest position for the right arm, never had an armrest like this before).
3" x 3" x 12" hard impact toolbox foam cut to size and upholstered with velcro... although I got it for free you can get it here, home Depot and Lowe's might have it as well..

Got the one i ordered today. Tried it out. It’s OK. Not great. A little too squishy. I’d like it to be more stable and half as tall. I’ll keep looking but this will do for now.
I am with NyNomad, I made my own in 2012, the Toyota armrest is too low. Had to make it match the right side armrest height.
Just re-wrapped mine with new foam and an old t-shirt;
oops sorry about the duplication there bro's.
