'99 Mid-Gen. Upgrades w/Pics

Most people have never found this little pocket. I actually found money in mine when I bought the car. I don't keep anything in there now, but one day I'll find a use for it..... one day...

the space thats behind the parking brake. i had one of those tiny bottles of alcohol from an airplane there, i never touched it cause i forgot it was there. haha

I would put my bluetooth there, but I am to cheap to get one, so I put my corded earpiece in there. I think it was meant for a cell phone, but it is perfect for storing something you use a lot like a bluetooth.

my corded headset used to go there, but then it was always tangled. now i have a bluetooth and that goes at the boot of where my shifter is for my 4wd.

the side pocket showed in the picture....genius idea, my mom puts a brush in hers, my brother puts his maps there, and i think putting your rainbow sandals in there is a great idea, i never would have thought of it. however, when you get leather, you dont get that pocket.
 
not sure if i should be sharing this story, but one time i had some illegal substances stored in the top part of the center console. Then i got pulled over, the cop smelled "somethin" and proceeded to search my car, noticing the smell was coming from the center console, went through everything! about 4 times, just to give up because he couldnt figure out there was that secret little compartment. thank god for good ol toyota engineering:D

haha, lucky for you, because my sister was driving and her boyfriend stashed his stuff in the ashtray, like an idot would, and they so got busted

I'm not condoning any such activities, but if one were to need to store something of alternate legal status, the area behind the fuse box panel could possibly just maybe work for you :artist:

Another thing that I noticed while I was driving around earlier today is that the rear view mirror is attached to the roof console, which I think is very nice. I hate cars that have the rear view mirror just daintily attached to the windshield

The best hiding spot in the 4runner is to pop up the shifter boot(on manuals) and there is space galore to store things, but watch out because things will heat up very fast in there ha ha

And yes, the rear view is great, especially if you ever have to replace the windshield, just one less thing to have to worry about.

in the picture with the dual outlets....does anyone have any idea with what to do with the space to the left and/or right above it?

I mounted an external speaker to my CB in it on my last T4R.

I just bought the whole console off ebay today because mine was missing the door.

Does that mean I'm also getting a mirror and stuff?

Most likely yeah. I wouldn't see why not. Was it included in the product description?
 
That is a feature I miss on the 4th gen, we have a tissue holder instead...not as useful.

Headrest holders!!!!

Doh! Now I know what those slots are for. :bash:

Oh, and on the topic of hiding things that might be of questionable legal status: just pop off the plastic cupholder/E-Brake trim panel and you can fit a bunch of stuff underneath there. Plus it's really easy to pop on and off.
 
irony.
so im driving around this dirt lot up the street looking for a rock to arc out on( didnt find one). so i pull up on my center console just playing around and i forgot to push the button. lo and behold a little pocket. i was stoked, then i get home and see that its a sticky!! hahahaa


thanks for heads up on the head rest holders, i didnt even notice them.
 
I'm going to have to look for the upper console storage and the rear pax jack/tools storage. My T4R has Wet Okoles on it so I didn't see the headrest holders, the pockets in the seats and the console storage. :mad:
 
My mom had her '99 for almost a year before I pointed out the upper console storage and she was quite happy for that extra spot.

Found that stuff today. I had to remove the WO cover from the console and found the upper storage. The headrest holders are accessible with the WO seat covers, but the seat pockets are not.
 
I'd like the back ones too but I got the fronts from some girl at my work that traded in her 3rd gen for a 4th for only $30 and they were brand new.
