These photos display several variations on the centre roof console design available for this vehicle.

Points of Interest:

• Robust construction. Suitably durable for off road driving. Manufactured from steel and hardwood plywood - NO PLASTIC.
• The shape of the base of the console can be custom made to suit the customer’s radio(s) and other requirements.
• Radio holes and storage openings etc. cut to suit your requirements and accessories.
• Upholstered in a vinyl or velour finish. We have manufactured vinyls to match the grey and brown interiors for the early and late model 100 Series.
• Designed for maximum headroom without interfering with the sunvisors or any other functions of the vehicle.
• Fits the vehicle without drilling any holes by utilising the rear view mirror captive nuts and interior light screw holes.
• A vacuum formed finish is also available for this roof console. This is a foam backed, heat shrunk, one wrap (no seams) finish similar to the finish of the dashboard. For prices click here.
• For the vehicles fitted with the original plastic roof console, the spectacle holder / map light assembly can be refitted to our console if required. The rear interior light cannot be removed from the original console. We can supply a genuine Toyota interior light from the base model 100 series (cost $85), or a cheaper option is an aftermarket Narva light (cost $15)
• If replacing the original plastic console with our custom built console and storage is required, a deep profile console is recommended fitted with an oval opening and vinyl flap rather than netting (click here for more information). This is preferable because the hole in the hoodlining underneath the original plastic console can be seen through the netting.
• Designed so the radio curly cords are out of view.
• We manufacture our consoles in weekly batches. If we receive an order by Monday 5:30pm Sydney time your console will be dispatched on the following Friday. The dispatch date can vary if there is a public holiday.
• Professional fitting service available.

Your centre roof console will be designed to suit your specific model vehicle. It will neatly follow the contours of your hoodlining and will be the ideal width to suit the distance between your sunvisors. The length of the console takes into account the mounting system for the console, the shape of the cabin and when applicable, headroom for the rear seat passengers. When calculating the depth of the console we allow for maximum headroom and a clear view for the rear vision mirror. As no two model vehicles are the same our "vehicle specific" consoles are the best available.

In addition to being "vehicle specific" we also "custom build" each console to suit your requirements - nobody else does that! We adjust the shape of the base of the console to suit your radio(s) storage or lighting requirements. When custom building your console we can build a slim line console for maximum headroom or a deeper console for maximum storage. We can make the console's radio housing(s) as small as your radio(s) will allow providing more headroom and moving your radio(s) closer to the windscreen for better access. Another advantage of this versatility of design, most modern radios have a LCD (liquid crystal display) screen. It is easier to read the LCD when you are looking square onto the screen. Whenever possible, we change the angle on the console's facia panel to suit the radio being fitted.

MICROPHONE CURLY CORD RETAINER

A piece of "one wrap" hook and loop tape is supplied with each roof console (one retainer for each radio) to prevent your microphone curly cord from dangling and blocking your view. Simply screw this retainer onto the console in a suitable position between the radio and the microphone clip, then wrap the tape around the curly cord. If you need the full length of the curly cord, the "one wrap" tape is easy to release and re-attach.

Following are some sketches to show you some of the possible variations available for centre roof consoles.

FITTING INSTRUCTIONS:

Toyota 100 Series Landcruiser Advantage 5/2002 on and GXL 9/2002 on.
(ie all models with the genuine plastic centre roof console fitted)

Introduction. This roof console replaces the genuine plastic console. It is mounted without drilling any holes in the vehicle. The front mounting bracket on the console utilises two captive nuts that Toyota installed for the standard model rear view mirror. The back of the console is held in place by utilising the interior light screw holes that Toyota installed for the standard model. The genuine map reading light / spectacle holder assembly can be mounted into our console, however the remaining CD holder, garage door opener holder, spectacle holder and interior light must be discarded. A replacement interior light is mounted into a pre-cut hole in the base of the console. All wiring can be installed without drilling any holes or cutting the trim. The wiring for the genuine interior light can be used for the replacement interior light. The wiring for the genuine map light can be used to power the radios or accessories that are fitted into the console.

Step 1. Remove the genuine plastic console and the steel mounting bracket for this console.

Step 2. Hold the console in position to check the fit. Make sure you have received the correct console, in good order, before cutting any holes in the console.

Step 3. If your console has a *S.A.O. remove the carpet on the base of the storage area.

Step 4. Fit your radio(s) and accessories into the console - see the "instructions on installing a radio into a console" and the "radio fitting kit" supplied with your console. If you are fitting the genuine map light / spectacle holder assembly, fit it into the console using the screws and spacers provided.

Step 5. There is enough room to place your wiring behind the plastic covers on the windscreen pillars (the "A" pillars). Remove the "A" pillar cover. Starting under the dashboard, thread your wiring up through the dashboard, and along the pillar. Removal of the genuine plastic console has revealed an opening in the centre of the hoodlining. Using a piece of fencing wire or similar, pull your wiring across the roof above the hoodlining and out through the opening in the centre. Be sure to leave enough spare wire to reach down to the seat. This will make it easier to connect your wiring to the radio(s) before fitting the console. The excess wire can be coiled up inside the console. If you are running two aerial leads, run them separately, with only one along each "A" pillar. This will give you less interference when operating your CB radios.

Step 6. Place the console on the dashboard or the seat. Connect the wiring and check that the radio(s) and accessories are operational before installing the console. If your console has a *S.A.O. you may wish to position your wiring or fuses at the back of the console to allow easy access without removing the console.

Step 7. Coil up any excess wire while lifting the console into position. Press the console firmly onto the hoodlining. Ensure that all six mounting points line up with the captive nuts and screw holes in the vehicle.

Step 8. Using the two 5mm x 20mm metal thread screws and snap cap washers supplied in the "console fitting kit", attach the front of the console to the rear vision mirror captive nuts. Do not tighten the screws yet, this will allow the back of the console to move enough to line up the rear mounting screw holes.

Step 9. Using the four 38mm x 10 gauge self tapping screws and the four washers supplied in the "console fitting kit", screw the back of the console to the interior light mounting screw holes. You will need a no.2 phillips head screw driver with a shaft at least 200mm long for a deep profile roof console, or at least 150mm long for a low profile roof console. (The longer the screwdriver the easier it will be to fit the console.)

Step 10. Connect the interior light wiring then mount the replacement interior light onto the base of the console.

Step 11. Tighten the two metal thread screws that hold the front of the console in place. Cover the head of these screws with the snap caps provided.

Step 12. If your console has a *S.A.O., replace the carpet inside the storage area.
