Need ideas for '84-'89 dual shifter center console

[Rollover Roy]

Need ideas on the best simple, easy, stock looking center console set up for an 88 4Runner. Dual cases - 5-speed.

Should I use a short throw shifter?

Any pictures or ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks,

- Roy

I saw this set up for a later model but not sure how to accomplish it with my 88.

I also need ideas for my 84, duel cases are coming soon.

You can have Marlin custom bend you a shifter to fit just about anywhere

I know  I've seen some good stock looking installs but not lately. I don't want to go all fancy. Just dont want to have to hack up the center console to much.

I just installed my dual cases and not quit done with my center console.  I will get some picks when they are finished. The truck is at a friends house becasue my rear driveline needs to be lengthened so cant finish it yet and can't take pictures yet.  What i did is removed the front part of the console and put a hole in the second part, thin i put the carped inbetween the 3 shifters.  I moved the second part of the consle backwards.

I'm in the same boat but I'm working with half auto trans console and a 5-speed boot console I got off e-bay. I think it's gonna work out ok. I'll take and post some pics when I can.

Very Cool. What year truck and what trans? The shifter looks close to the radio (or maybe I'm seeing things).

Just something I threw together in an afternoon a year or so ago, notice the cup holders

Blucruz, you convereted your forward shift to top shift?  thast what i did so my two front shifters don't fit inside the stock console anymore.  I did some trimming and moved the whole console back an inch or two and now they fit.  Still havent got any pics.

The Truck is an 85', the Tranny, Crawler, T-Case Combo I Puchased from the Guy I bought the Truck From, He thinks its out of an 87' or 88', He just picked the one out of his toyota graveyard that was the best. The shifter is a little clos to the radio, but theres enough clearence to change cd's whille in first or thrid (dont use fifth). And I was wonder'n about the radio clearnce when I put the Tranny, Crawler, T-Case Combo and why it was so differnt from mine ?? Ohh Well !
