Cool Box Removal?

[bluebullet]

I am making the exact same tray for $20 for members of this forum.

I got this fair offer along with $33 shipping from the Teamsters. No thanks. Caveat emptor. UPS eats seller's lunch. I see the eBay price is $35.00. C'mon man...

I have one of bgeorger's trays and it fits perfect. great job, fair price, easy shipping. can't go wrong. I did ask my local Yota dealership about removing the cool box and their reply was "don't go there"...it is connected to the air conditioning unit. I doubt most Yota dealership's will touch such a modification. I suspect 250 owners would need to do this on their own and accept any glitches or warranty complications with other electronics. I'm sure there is someone out there with the patience and skill to figure out.

I'm in on removing the cool box. Great idea if it was in the backseat or anywhere but the front seat where I need the storage.

Have you removed that cool box yet? I'm ready to do mine because all it's good for is holding an "L" shaped self-defense device.
I'm willing to try it by the diagram if you haven't or no one else has.
I can to take pictures and short videos when I do it.

The non-coolbox version definitely has the space for even larger L-shaped devices.

Will you send link for this please?

Give it some time, someone will figure out a work around with the relays. With 4Runners, you just had to bend one pin of the relay to make the fogs work anytime.

This might be old news to you but every time you push the fog light button lights up yellow or white alternately every time you push it to show which color fog lights you have.

I'm hoping this quotes! Ok, it didn't.......I copied/pasted. Does your tray fit a 2025 LC?

Storage on these LC's is very limited. So looks like removing the cool box is a chore...

What are others doing to store thier things like sunglasses etc?

There are several threads on this subject, the search feature is very helpful, search for storage.

Anything can be done. I do believe there's a cooling mechanism that's connected to the cool box.

It runs off the AC so you have to deal with those AC connections. Careful what you wish for.

Carefull yes. There may be better solutions to storage issues...

Def, cheaper and easier to add other storage options vs removing the cooling box equip and then having to replace the console to take advantage of the potential new space. There are a few threads concerning what members have come up with for solutions, some of which are really good and I've adopted for myself and others just spout noise.

Maybe we all need to admit we may have too much stuff..........Geoge Carlin has lessons about that. My sunglasses fit in door pocket fine. I put my emergency hat and gloves in back side because, well, its only for emergencies..... Agrre that the glove box is poorly designed. may pull out that partition eventually. Wasteful.
