Curious, can these be installed in an XLT that doesn't have them?

I dropped my Ranger off at the dealership for the week! It's going to get the tires swapped over to the new wheels. I'm also hoping to get the trans fluid and filter changed along with the front and rear diff fluid.

Added a metal piece as a ghetto handle for my console tray... Yeah the piece shifted before the glue dried but oh well.

Threw in some foam seal to keep the quarters from bouncing out.

Nice idea, I'll probably steal it, but try some rivets instead of glue....
Drawer pull might work better...think I have a few lying around...may try one...

I was going with the drawer handle idea too but wouldn't you know it, dunno where the sob's went.
Going to Meijer later, will check out their hardware section.


No rivets but I plan to use small machine screws and nuts... Those seem to have walked off too... ?

Stole your idea...has some small SS hooks...took 5 minutes.
Does make it a lot easier to take the tray out....:like:

Must.. resist urge... to buy rivet gun.
I bought that gun over 40 years ago, along with a supply of rivets. May only use it 2-3 times a year, but it's nice to have when needed.

Jeff bezos wins again.

$10... Should suit my rare uses perfectly fine.
Thats less than the cost of a burger meal, and you'll have it for 40 years...:like:

As far as Bezos....where we are, there aren't too many places to get specialty items aside from Lowe's/Home Depot/Auto Zone/Advance Auto/O'Reillys, and even they are limited.
I'm always buying items for the house, the travel trailer or the Ranger, and usually have it within 1-3 days. And, their building a distribution center 3 miles from the house...will probably have stuff the same day.
Saves hours of driving from place to place looking for specialty stuff.
