I want to keep my dash original stock, but I was wondering if anyone has come up with a way to repurpose the ashtray since it's removable? Pics would be great.

I seen one being used for a flip out fuse box.

I'll have to go find Buckin's thread or maybe he'll chime in.

Here are a couple of photos from guys on our forum. I saved them because I plan on doing this with my centech fuse box.

Ive thought about removing the ash tray and welding a small recess in that location to hold a Phone.
or maybe I should leave it and take up smoking.

I seem to come across a good bit of ammo in them so guess they are considered some sort of magazine maybe...

I think your right, When I bought my Bronco it had a bunch of 22 shells in the ashtray, and the gun rack in the back.

My first thought was a USB phone charger socket and a 2nd cig lighter socket for the same purpose, but different cords.

And thank you very much as I had not given it any thought and I don't smoke.

Now I have another project.

Using it as an alternative audio input is an inspired idea. Great way to keep the stock/original look--just pull out the ashtray and plug in.

I keep the ashes of my pet Jackalope in mine.

I took the tray out and installed a keyed master electrical cut off there.

When I installed the TBP retroradio I ran the 2 usb plugs from behind into the ashtray, I just open and connect the ipod...not the prettiest but it works well and hides the plugs when not in use....
