    My Oakley Crankcases won't fit in the ones overhead so I use that little chubby hole right below the 4WD selector knob. I put them in the bag they come with and what's nice about it is that if anyone ever broke in they would never even know they are there since it blends in with the pocket. They fit perfectly in there!

    Neither of the two in my 13. both are for sunglasses. My 07 had one for sunglasses and had another spot to velcro a garage door opener in and a button that lined up with my opener button. I loved it and was disappointed the 13 did not have this.

    Yup. Primary set of shades gets tossed into a cupholder. I always have a spare set in the overhead holder incase I lose/break/whatever the primary, and/or have a passenger that doesn't have their own.

    I keep one of the 9-LED flashlights in there, wrapped in 1/4" foam so it doesn't rattle. Use it for looking around for items on the floor as the interior lighting sux.

    I use mine. With my old first gen, I was always annoyed that I had no real place to store it besides putting it in the case and in the center console.

    I used to use my when I had a garage door opener or when I am staying at the inlaws I store one of their garage door openers in it.

    Some people have converted it into showing gauges and or putting switches for lights and an onboard air system.

    Edit: I did not scroll through this thread and see the above post with pics of his switches until now.
