FJ40 Radio Slot / Cubby

[swamp-thing]

Is the cubby in this picture a factory part?
It looks legit to me -- but I've never seen one like that before.
I'd like to find one like this......

Thanks in advance.

Not stock that I've ever seen (don't know about models later than 1978 and overseas versions, though). Looks good.

Damn, I like that.

If you find one Ash, get two I want one. Those are sweet! Never seen one.

If I find two or more I'll buy em all and share the bounty! Now if I can at least find one... haha

Why don't you take it out and see if there's any marking in the back? You might find a clue or two of where it came from.

Good advice, however, It's just a photo i found online of the part in question -- so I was hoping the collective 'Mud genius could shed some light....

Looks like someone cut the dash to install a stereo then replaced it with one of these pockets... That wouldn't work without cutting your dash if you haven't already. Can't bring myself to cut mine when it's in perfect shape, but there's some cool ones on Amazon that have slide out drawers or cup holders.

Storage Solution for Radio Hole

Thnx, I saw various home-brew solutions floating around the forum.

However, I thought that particular one in the photo looked sort of oem-ish.

I agree, it wouldn't be worth cutting the radio slot to fit, but if the slot is already cut.....


Thanks all!

That is a bin that is mounted under a single din stereo in most Hondas. It is a great fit for a dash that was modified for an aftermarket radio.

@swamp-thing ... any idea who's 40 that is in the picture you posted?

 

[swamp-thing]

Nah, it was just a web pic to get the conversation going, I actually think it was a truck I saw for sale maybe on ebay back in february....

 

[imyahucklbrry]

OK... if you happen to find out what bin was used, I'd sure like to know! I contacted the member who was doing a homemade version to see if he was still in the production business but got no response.

 

[swamp-thing]

Roger that!
