Thanks for the amazon link... I was going with the ammo can mod, but for just a few $ more this is a pretty sweet setup. Plus i'm a prime member so can get it tomorrow for 4$! and in a 60 it looks like a no-brainer install (so i might be able to do it myself!)
thx!
thx!
I actually bought the VDP one from a fellow friend and FJ60 owner....he bought it for his 60 and his gf bought him a tuffy so I got it for $40. A little aggravating to get it in but I also have a short temper.

I'll keep you up to date. Should know which one I'm going to use in the next week or so.
The switch itself is very low profile and does not get in the way...
Oh yeah, that is low profile. Looks nice!
Installed mine this afternoon. Took about 30 minutes. I drilled 3 holes and used some slightly longer screws in the front. Worked out great. I am curious about what others have done with gap behind/under the console.
Thanks for the info about this console. It's going to be a really nice addition.

Put one in my 80 today. Hadn't seen this as an option and happened into 4wheelparts today and saw it for $90, bought thinking it may work.
Fits perfectly. Drilled three holes, used 4 inches (two 2x2) stacked to level it in the rear and 8x1.25 x 100mm bolts to mount on stock support and stock bolt in front.
It measures 9-inches wide and 20-inches long. The arm rest is a welcome addition as well.

That console looks great. Has anyone tried putting one of these in a 40? Any idea if it will fit?

I got one for the 40, but I built my own seat cradle...
This thing is literally 3 bolts, so if you have the stock seat cradle, you could bolt or weld some plate off there and just drill the holes.
For the price, its a nice unit.
I had to mod mine a bit. I 86'd the cup holders cuz they got in the way of my shifter (4L60E auto tranny...), and in order to keep the lid securely shut, you need to lock it. If you lock it, you have no access to the radio, so Ill be adding a magnetic latch to keep it shut when wheeling, but Ill still be able to flip it open to get to the radio. The lock then is still in tact that way.
I got the Smitty Stero console for my 60. Plan on putting stero and i-pod connection in it. Do any of you have any suggestions/pictures on how you installed ur radio in the console? AND, what did you do with your original stero hole?
Bump for info/photos on stero install and ideas for blank din
got a Smittybilt for my FJ62...cut the hole for the heater...trying to figure out the easiest way to run a template for the drill holes.....any suggestiongs?
I will post pics when I am finished! (crappy job or not!)

Never mind... looks like the different parts numbers are just different colors. (gray, black, spice)

Yeah, the one with the stereo doesn't fit the 62. It will work for the 60 though.
