This is one of the repairs I eventually have to do. The lid on my center arm rest is broken. I agree about the cheapness of the build but it is what it is. I need to get the thing ready for State Safety Inspection ready first though so this drops down on the things to do list a bit.

My exact same question, I posted a picture earlier in this thread of the only torx screw that holds it onto my driver seat, the thing is though that I have tightened it before and it did nothing!

Problem solved!

My armrest was always in the way, the lid was broken, and my sub was always hitting it.

I ripped out the armrest, flipped the sub in the box, gained a bunch of room and WAY better bass. I win

I have these seats and center console. Trying to figure out how to tighten down the console. b/c it shakes and when I have a drink or somethig in the cup holder it of course tips over and spills all over.

How do I get at the bolts to tighten it down?

As I started taking it apart to figure out what bolts held it down I discovered that the plastic tabs for the front two screws were broken and on the back metal plate was broken. So I just ripped it out. I might build a custom console out of wood or maybe look for a 60/40 driver side seat.

I'm having a hard time letting go of this truck. It's running strong despite the fact that I am going to need new tires. The front left corner is dented it and I have red duct tape holding the hazard lights in and the front bumper is bent, and every time it rains it gets wet inside.

It's been a great little truck. I'd rather get rid of my focus except my full time job commute in my truck would eat up gas and I already have a van my wife drives that cost's me $50 every two weeks (I make her go on a full tank for two weeks b/c of pay period and limit her driving to errands and neccessary things).

Did you ever get ANY help with fixing the console for 60/40 seats?

Everything in this thread seems focused on the bucket seat console. The lid on mine is busted up pretty good.

Tomz

Mine is too, and its a bitch tryin to find a new one, Im thinking bout making a new lid, with some metal, and repadding it....

My driver door amr rest hurts my arm and I causes me to curse at it whenever I drive the truck. But I don't know what could be done to modify the position and angle to make it comfortable. Someone might consider taking it on as a project. First, find a vehicle with a proper rest and attempt to duplicate it. I have some leather and donno if next step is to fabricate a fiberglass frame to be attached somehow at the door. Unfortunately, the door grab (part of the discomfort problem) is in the way as is the handle. Anyone have an idea?

Which part do you mean?
