What is this??

I've used them just never inspected the underside of the lid. Eegads I cringe at the thought of all the widgets under there that have gone neglected, unnoticed and unused!

 

thats my junk storage, when i need to get something while in the drivers seat the lid opens to the straight up position right where my elbow needs to pass over. this is new to gen3..another fumble along with the A pillar grab bar gone.

 

Stupid ass question. It's a joint holder

 

Field Notes are awesome!

 

Hey how did this go, looking to do the same? pictures?

 

The funny money you buy mods with

 

It's one of those things they put in that make you ask "what's this for?". Like that cubby hole to the left of the steering wheel that makes you ask "what's the purpose of this?". It's the intrigue of the vehicle that sells it. Those marketing guys are geniuses!

 

It took a little modification, but not too bad. I first cut half of the pen holder. I cut two stripes of square dial rod (purchased at Home Depot) to build up the slope. Screwed a piece of sheet metal into the wooden blocks. This size Grid-it still interferes with the hinge, so I notched the inside console lid.
Finally I used heavy duty 3m double stick tape to attach the Grid-it to the sheet metal.

 

Looks great good work. Might take a whack at it this weekend. Thanks

 

It's to hold 77 grains of freedom!

 

Does anyone's key actually stay put in this? Mine falls out usually immediately after closing the lid. And I don't have a .50 cal :/ I guess maybe some pixie sticks?

 

Well, good news is, you don't need a 50. 77grains of freedom is widely available in a 5.56.

 

Right when I looked at this, I saw that you had 556 messages as well, what are the odds?

 

Russian listening device

 

pretty good, given that it was my 556th post, which came right after my 555th.

 

isn't the ignition key & tailgate key the same? maybe a stupid question but mine are the one and the same...not sure I would stick and extra key in there...

 

or modify it for a handgun...

 

For those of us that splurged a little (or a lot) on creature comforts, we don't even have an ignition 'key'. Pushbutton start and whatnot.

 

I’ve been thinking about that one. Mounting a Serpa holster for a P220. Mine digs into the seat when I wear it while I’m driving, And I have a couple Serpas that don’t see much use anymore.

 

I think it's actually for one of these...

Or for an OEM tire tread gauge.

I've had a VW and a Mercedes that came with one and a little storage clip very much like the one in the Tacoma.

Euro or Asia shipped models probably come with one or the other included.
