    My hinge goes across all the way as well.

    Isuzu shows 2 console lids.
    8-97198-514-3 12/1998 - 05/1999
    8-97292-551-0 06/1999 - later

    Do you usually keep three of these around?

    I already sold my armrest, but if you want to measure center to center on the mount holes, I can measure mine(on a 1999) to see if they'd match up.

    I tried to fit these but they will not mate up to the shape of the top of the console so these are Rodeo only armrests. Oh well.

    Does it fit at all, say if you swapped the hinges? I have a perfect arm rest, but was thinking about trying a cup holder mod, be a shame to destroy mine, knowing there are a lot of folks with worn arm rests. I wouldn't mid if it had an overhang, as long as it fit between the seats and latched shut.

    Let me take a closer look tomorrow and see if some kind of mod would make it possible to use these somehow.
