11 - Hooks and Console

(These mods took place in early January 2012.)

There are times that my box functions as a grocery-getter. Oftentimes there are small items that are carried in bags. I got tired of having my stuff strewn about the inside of my car during my trip home, so I got this set of four coat hooks from a 1970s Ford on eBay. The screw and peg mounting method prevents the hook from rotating. The two piece design means the screw attachment is hidden from view.

I mounted one hook on the center console on the passenger side. The hook mounting height allows most bags to rest on the floor yet keeps the bag upright and the contents secure.

We did the swap at his house, in his driveway, with one of his Toyota Tech buddies. Here is the Tech removing my headliner, which means:

• remove 2 sunvisors and their hooks

• remove 4 grab handles

• remove A pillar panels

• remove front seatbelt upper anchors and B pillar panels

• remove cargo bins, side cargo panels, and C pillar panels

• remove maplight and domelight

A lot of work!
