Has anybody modded there ash tray compartment or cancer lighter for something more usefull than a waste of space? im thinkin i might try to make my garmin gps flip out or something, any ideas would help, and NO NOT A COIN DISH!!, i have the fx4 with center shift, also any tricks to pulling the fake carbon fiber piece off or does it just pop out? thanks

That is so funny because just tonight on my way home from the gym I was looking at that thing wondering the exact same thing. I am gonna pull that tray out and see how much room is actually in there. I have no idea what to do with it though.

if i remeber correctly when i had my dash plate off theres so many connections and crap behind there i would be scared to mess with it

I am going to remove the ash tray assembly and use the existing screw holes to mount a piece of lexan that is painted gray to match the surrounding trim and I'm going to run toggle switches for my 4 KC lights on the front bumper, 1 switch for the trailer hitch lights, and 1 switch for my dvd by-pass. I was going to mount all this near the dome lights, but since I don't smoke I thought it would look better and be more useful to put it in place of the ash tray. Its going to look similar to this...

Kinda like this? I just took out the ashtray place and popped off the face.





And my cig lighter now starts my truck. Cost me ~$7

If you want more ideas, use the search; this subject of using the ash tray area for other mods has come up before.

Don't have truck right now (in shop getting bumper fixed) but I mounted my off road light switches in there... No visible switches inside of the truck, to operate just open the ash tray and there they are...
