Awesome video! Give me ideas how to do stuff like this in my garage! Thanks for sharing.

[@RM_Garage]

No problem! Thanks for watching

[@gatorx6350]

wow i realy need to do one of these . this looks great DIY TILL I DIE

[@meganfoley4123]

Looks great, can’t wait for part 2!

Sweet little project! I've been thinking about doing something similar. I want to ditch the triple sticks, to much movement in 1 area and the boots bind and pull each other out of position, its annoying. I do really like the factory console and arm rest though, so I may have to fabricate something with flip up console to access my sticks.

[@RM_Garage]

Thanks dude! I really like the factory center console too. Since this is basically a shift bezel at the moment I think I have room to maybe retrofit a Toyota pickup/4r/taco arm rest/console area behind it.

[@DirtGarage]

Yeah, my shifters are 3" back from stock, so that would not be possible for me

[@RM_Garage]

@@DirtGarage Ah cause the V8? Didn't think about that.

Looks good. For Cardboard CAD, beer box style cardboard works easier if you're going to be using thin gauge. It just bends more realistically the make up your templates. Corrugated cardboard is good if you're making a template for like 1/4" stuff.

[@RM_Garage]

Thanks for the tip!

Id say if u have space still in the back of that console find a way to integrate an ammo box and then have the whole thing color matched. You get a small console for storage space

[@RM_Garage]

Yep definitely what I plan to do!

Hi, would material did you use for your flooring?

[@RM_Garage]

It's vinyl and the video where I installed it is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6K6qZyqmsaJjrM

[@mattwhite1689]

Any way I can get a copy of your cardboard cut out?

[@RM_Garage]

Hey Matt, I don't have the template and sold the truck to fund my Land Cruiser build. Sorry!
