    I can't take credit for the idea, but I will take credit for my particular execution as well as sharing it on this site.

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/tool-less-32oz-cupholder-mod.672736/

    Here's a link to the exact chalk bag I used. Many on TW have had good success with it due to the slight rigidity of it.

    https://www.rei.com/product/128537/static-waxed-canvas-chalk-bag


    Here's everything I used to modify the bag.

    IMG_2657.jpg




    Cut one end of the sewn loop and burn the edges to prevent fraying.

    IMG_2658.jpg IMG_2659.jpg



    Punch a hole in the center of the strap, right below the bend. If you don't have one of these tools, a drill should work fine too. Or heat up a screwdriver over the stove and melt a hole through.

    IMG_2660.jpg




    Roll up the excess and zip tie it. This keeps the strap from slipping out from in between the two trim pieces.

    IMG_2661.jpg


    For comparison's sake, here is the gap in the trim before.

    IMG_2662.jpg




    Pry up on the two corners up near the center console. The whole thing is held in place with pressure clips. I used a trim removal tool to get it started. A flathead screwdriver wrapped in electrical tape (so you don't scratch the surface) will work too. Notice my shift knob is removed, you don't need to do that. Just popping it up gave me the room necessary.


    IMG_2663.jpg


    The gap is nonexistent because we removed the double layer of nylon.

    IMG_2664.jpg IMG_2666.jpg


    As an added bonus, you can roll up the bag and stow it away if you really want to.

    Is it screwed in underneath or does it just use the rolled part to hold it in place behind the plastic trim?

    The rolled up part is what keeps it from slipping out between the trim pieces. There is no modification to the truck whatsoever.

    Sweet! Be sure to share pics and input. There’s a couple of different ways to skin the cat if you poke through the Tacomaworld thread linked above, but I’m partial to my method.

    Still reading through the pages. On page 6 of 20 so far, but I was convinced well before that this was a must do mod. Bag should arrive on Wednesday and will get installed next weekend. I'll be sure to share pictures after. My wife already has the hole punch tool from using it on her purses...

    Great mod. I was hooking my bottle to the headrest hooks I installed some time back. But I like it.

    No shit, right? Now I'm looking at chalk bags...and my water bottle actually fits in the cupholders (but my kids' ones don't).

    Absolutely love this Tundra mod. Ordered mine this morning in Tobacco. Hopefully goes well with the 1794 interior.

    How does that go at a check stop? I guess being legal no big deal or does it still make them edgy? Asking as an envious canuck;/

    Laws for a traffic stop vary by state. Home is in Colorado and we have no duty to inform. Travel to Nebraska frequently where last I checked you do in fact have to let the officer know you are legally carrying a concealed handgun. I’ve only had one interaction with law enforcement while carrying and he was completely uninterested.

    I ordered mine a couple of days ago. It’s so funny to me thinking about some random company getting flooded with orders, based off of a forum post. They have to be like WTF IS GOING ON??????
