Looking forward to pics of anyone w a tan interior ?, 96 lx450 ? Really nice setup, re my earlier post, has anyone moved their e brake and mounted a larger tuffy box ?
 
I found a review that said exactly what I was thinking:



Upon inspection of this product, the molded plastic appears to be cheap, but it looked sturdy and functional. I installed the product in my car, but the first time I leaned over the product to pick something up that fell onto the passenger side floor, the mounting plastic pieces shattered into numerous very sharp-edged pieces. The top portion of this product is great, but the flimsy mounting is garbage.

Not trying to be a downer or anything and I'll probably be getting one too, just wondering about the best way to mount.

Well, so far my 2 and 4 yr old have been climbing all over my interior and still no issues. But like I said before, if the supplied plastic bracket breaks, then I will simply Fab up a metal one to replace it.
 
Installed some cup holders for the back seats.
So now I have a total of 4. Two up front and two for the rear.

just ordered one. now they are $75. thanks for the write up. Can't wait to get rid of the gap
 
Just installed mine. Thanks a lot to OP for figuring it out. The unit is descent. A little cheao overall IMO. $70 doesnt go very far so I wasnt expecting anything more. I ended up using one of the legs and also screwed into center console. It is perfect for an armrest and a little extra storage. Matches great. Thanks again. A couple pics.

 
Wow! The things you miss when you don't check mud often enough. Just ordered mine. Mahalo 2k cruiser!
 
No problem guys, glad to close the gap between you and that far away place called the center console. :)
 
For what it's worth, if any one is looking for one of these in tan, I ordered one and will sell it as new(I never got around to installing it) for $45 shipped.

I'll take it...PM me your info and I can send funds.
 
Just an update on my arm rest. I noticed on long trips there is NO padding in the armrest. So I took off the material and installed a gel pad that I used off a bike seat cover.....Then a couple layers of thin foam...Re covered it. It's AMAZING!! I can put my boney elbow on there for as long as I want and is nice and soft. I now sounds gay but it really makes the armrest that much better!
 
The padding is much softer than stock. But Wow. You took it to the next level.
 
I had some time and no other maintnance to do. Took 30 min.
 
I found an upholstery shop and had them add 3-4" of foam and material to the oem arm rest. Worked pretty good. Wasn't $60 bucks either.
 
But you still have a big gap/reach to the oem location...

Ya but it's taller so you don't have to gangsta lean.
