The 1st Gen Tundra and Sequoia are two of the most reliable trucks Toyota ever built — and two of the most ignored by the aftermarket. Search for interior upgrades and you'll find universal-fit junk that rattles, sags, and looks like it belongs in a different truck. This guide covers the interior mods actually engineered for the 2000–2006 Tundra and 2001–2007 Sequoia: what each one does, what it costs, and what to buy first.
1. Steel Interior MOLLE Panel Set — the foundation ($100)
If you only buy one thing for your 1st Gen, make it the CNC steel interior MOLLE panel set. It mounts to the sides of the factory center console with the included stainless hardware (a few small drilled holes — see the listing) and turns that unused space into organized, secure mounting real estate for recovery gear, first-aid kits, tools, and pouches. Laser-cut steel, not the thin aluminum or plastic you'll find elsewhere. This is the single biggest storage upgrade available for the platform.
2. Auxbeam 8-Switch Ashtray Delete — the command center ($44.99)
The factory dash ashtray is dead weight in 2026. The 8-switch Auxbeam panel mount replaces it with a clean, factory-looking home for your switch panel — lights, compressor, whatever your build runs. No cutting, no splicing brackets, no zip-tied switch pods. If you're wiring auxiliary lights (say, Baja Designs Squadrons in the fog light location), this is where the switches belong.
3. Baja Designs Squadron Fog Light Housing — the light upgrade
Factory fog lights on these trucks are candles. The ASA 3D-printed Squadron housing lets you run Baja Designs Squadrons in the factory fog location — no cutting, direct fit. We wrote a full install guide if you want to see exactly how it goes in.
4. Center Console Organizer Trays — the daily-driver fix
The factory center console is a cavern where everything ends up in one pile. The drop-in organizer tray (with coin slot or without) splits it into usable compartments. Tool-free, in or out in two seconds. Cheap, and you'll use it every single day.
5. ScanGauge II Mount — for the data-minded ($35.00)
Running a ScanGauge II on a 20-year-old truck is smart insurance. The ashtray-delete ScanGauge mount puts it exactly where your eyes already go — flush, factory-looking, no suction cups or dash adhesive.
6. 1" Ball Mount Ashtray Delete — phone & accessories ($34.99)
Prefer a phone or GPS front and center? The 1-inch ball mount ashtray delete gives you a standard ball right in the dash — compatible with the mounting arms you already own.
What to buy first
Start with the MOLLE panel set — it's the backbone everything else builds on. Add the Auxbeam ashtray delete when you wire lights, and the console tray because it's the cheapest quality-of-life win on the list. Every piece here is designed for a specific factory location in these trucks, made in the USA, and installs without cutting or splicing. See the full 1st Gen Tundra & Sequoia lineup →
