Challenger Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 The console in my 78 was cracked (had a armrest) and the one in my 74 was perfect so I swaped them out. But I didnt have an armrest. A few weeks ago I broke the armrest in my Rav4 and I thought hey wonder If it fits, and it did. Went ahead and mounted it and this is what it looks like. I like how It came out, I should have moved if forward ~1/8 inch but it still works. The only other problem is it sets about 1/4 inch off the the deck of the console, but nothing noticable and it does its job. Yeah its grey, but Im gonna look into getting it recovered black. What you all think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ihavearustedz Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Looks great! Any idea how much a brand new one is? What year Rav4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted March 19, 2008 Author Share Posted March 19, 2008 Its off a 99 Rav4. The arm rest wasnt standard so It might be a little more expensive, but you can always hit the junkyard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerryb Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 That might even fit in the S30? Could you please post the dimensions of that armrest. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted March 19, 2008 Author Share Posted March 19, 2008 That is a S30 console there wont be any dimension issues. Ill try to get some dimensions when I get home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_furious Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Cool! The added height might actually make it possible to rest your arm there while driving. I know the stock armrest that I've got isn't all that useful, as it's too low to effectively rest your elbow on while driving. Now I've got another item to look for while I'm in the JY next time.
