Couple Cheap Mods

Finished mine today:





Dremel Tool worked awesome on this particular project. Great purchase-

 

Glad it worked out 4 U. U will find many more uses. What brand is it ? B & D ?

 

Yea, just went with the B&D off Amazon due to low cost and free shipping. Got decent if not great reviews over the more costly dremel. I figured if I use it enough to justify the cost associated then I'll get a proper dremel. For now it worked really well for my needs with this project.

 

I'm sure U will be fine. U R a DIY'r so it will serve U well. No need to spend big $$ for occasional use.

 

Thanks for the AWESOME cheap mod. Great quick improvement to secure the center console.

With that I started thinking about what else could use a Cam Lock. The storage compartments in the bed were next. I put together a full write up on my build page. http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2n...taco-adventure-vehicle-build.html#post6859924

 

niceeee mods

 

Where did that net divider come from in the OPs first post??

 

Sub'd for console lock mod.

 

I used this lock:

FJM Security Combi-Cam 7850R-S-Black Combination Cam Lock, 5/8" Black Finish

Combo lock

It's a bit larger outside the console, but I hate extra keys. I also couldn't get a fit I was happy with from the included latches, so I bent the straight one just a bit; I was able to do this with some locking pliers.

 

Adding lock to mod list! Great idea!

 

Has anyone done this lock mod using the 1/4" lock and straight bar? seems like this would work and the internals wouldn't protrude as much into the console, since the "bent" bar seems be making up for the extra length.

 

Just finished it!!!! Super easy, drill, dremmel then install. I used the straight blade and it worked just fine.

 

Thanks for this mod.

 

Done

 

the first mod is actually a great, cheap alternative to the expensive tuffy lockbox inserts if it's just for general security, not something specific like a gun. great idea OP

second isn't quite as useful, but still a great convenience mod. don't discount your ingenuity lol
