So far to date very few modifications have been made to the interior of my truck but I have recently started to make amends for this.
How the interior used to look. The same as most Toyota's, acres of plastic.
The first thing to go was the stock radio. In it's place I have fitted a CD head unit from Panasonic (DFX355) and a 40 channel CB from Kernow.
The Panasonic DFX355 head unit with the Kernow CB fitted in the ashtray space below.

I have also fitted a new gear knob by Sparco, an 'X-Speed', and have modified another 'X-Speed' gear knob to shorten it to fit the Transfer Case shift lever.

After a trip to Whistler in Canada I returned with a Grant Classic steering wheel. This saved me a fortune in shipping and customs duty. A bit sad really, getting a steering wheel for my truck while on holiday to an excellent resort for snowboarding.
I really like this wheel because it is polished and the Stainless Steel spokes keep with the use of stainless on the exterior of the truck.

I have also fitted a set of genuine Toyota cupholders into the dash. Now this may not sound like a big deal but this is not a standard fitment on UK spec trucks and if you have ever had your dash in pieces to fit or replace this you know what a pain in the arse it is.

Along with the new carpet and soundproofing (see page 11 and 12) I have just fitted my custom made seats from Cobra.
These have the base from the Sidewinder seat combined with the back from the Daytona II seat and have been coloured in NavyRock in the centre and GreyRock on the outside edges.
Normally they only come in a single colour and had to be made especially for me.
They had to be fitted on frames from Recaro because Cobra don't make a subframe for the Toyota pickup anymore.

The final upgrade to the interior dress up parts was the pedal extensions. As I couldnt find any that I liked and that fitted the pedals correctly, I took the basic design from a style that I liked and had them made in Stainless Steel. After polishing them to a mirror finish, rubber grips from another set of pedals where made to fit so that the completed pedals where legal for road use in the UK.
