    minor, TRD skid plate, front recovery points, Regken mud flaps, rear diff breather, AC drain pipe extended. Upgraded sound with active sub woofer, tonneau cover, CB radio.
    As I have mentioned in one of my posts, idea is from my old Volvo 744, this car was equipped
    with storage pockets on the seat panel, on the door side.IMG_2175.jpgIMG_2174.jpg
    In Volvos this storage box was a part of seat side panel - very practical, as I remember:
    pack of smokes, keys, multitool, lighter e.t.c. - invisible from outside, kept handy, not decreasing leg/hip room, like many boxes (or molle panels)on the tunnel side. And I miss them!
    Ok, looking at my 2019 Tacoma: can accomodate box 3x3x12 inches.
    Start looking around, find "Universal car garbage can" for $5 CAD.IMG_2182.jpg

    I bought two of them, trim to size (passenger side 4" high, dribers side 3" high, because lumbar support crank handle). Trimmed edge I cover with door edge molding.
    IMG_2185.jpg
    Method of attachment - I deside to go with self-sticking velcro - for now (because easy to remove box for carpet cleaning or clean box itself). Screws, or plastic clips also can be used.
    On the bottom of each box - anti rattling pad, trimmed to shape.
    Picture with velcro pads ready to go:

    Pictures of finished (for now) mod:IMG_2187.jpg
    Distance between box and door panel - approx. 3/8", so no contact, no scratches on door panel.IMG_2188.jpg
    So, I was using random find, and will keep looking for better shape/quality box.

    Anybody with 3D printer wants to develop better version of it?
    I'll buy one :)

    Very clever, and cheap to boot. Nice job!

    Good idea and well executed. But I am betting that the adhesive on those velcro strips won't last that long inside a hot vehicle.

    What’s wrong with the storage area on the door?
