    I need to get a pew safe for my Taco. Anyone find anything good? I do see the center console safe but I was wondering if there are any other options.

    On the cheap side, but I went with this:
    $46 u-Box Tacoma Center Console Safe Lockbox Insert Lock Vault Box Extra Storage Compatible with Toyota Tacoma 2016-2023 3rd Gen Pickup Trucks Car Safety Security Anti-Theft Locking Device Black
    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09SHH6P9S?ie=UTF8

    And I bought a kydex holster and mounted it into the inside of the lock box, so that the trigger is covered and so it doesn't move around. And there's still room for a couple of Maxpedition pouches as well. Works great.

    ^ This.

    Safest place is on you... but I get it. Sometimes you need to do business in a bank or government building or courthouse and it is no bueno if the pew pew is on you when you walk through the metal detectors. Check out this console vault. I haven't used it but it looks slick.

    Downsizing from a Tundra is challenging, but I’ll make it work. Before I retired, I also use to have a long pew under the rear seat too.

    LED interior, license plate, and fog lights. More to come.
    One of the places that caught me off guard was a hospital where my daughter went for a procedure. Walked up to.the door, saw a metal detector, did an about face. LOL.

    I’ve done the same thing. I forgot I’m retired sometimes and don’t have full access.

    It does the job and it's pretty heavy duty. It's not a cheap copy.

    I like the Vaultek Slider series (specifically the wifi/biometric model). I have one in the house and one in the truck, kinda want to buy another for the wife's car now.
