    Eeew, keys. lol.

    If the keys aren’t an issue for you, it’ll probably keep honest people honest. If that’s all you need, it looks like it’ll do the job at a much lower price. Are those exposed screws, or pop rivets? It’s hard to tell.

    I have one of the other major players and it’s pretty robust. It would take a lot of effort to get into it without a power tool or solid crowbar and determination.

    It is a shame we can’t leave things… but.. as a gun safe to keep children safe it’s a good product. If you’re trying to protect a gold bar. People will use all force to get it.

    I have this center console safe (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09SHH6P9S?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details) and I believe it's just a rebranded one, most likely from the same manufacturer. I installed the safe when I first purchased my truck back in April and haven't had any issues with the safe, Installation was easy just four bolts I believe and it just falls in. If you don't mind having an extra key on your keychain it's a great bargain compared to the more expensive safes available for the taco.

    After having it installed for a couple of months now, I do miss the space in the center console as I had the little tray that hangs on the top of the console. I think if they made a divider or something like that, I wouldn't have any issues with it. If you got any other questions let me know.

    I had their roof rack for a while and there was nothing wrong with it for what it was, stamped formed thin steel. Decent enough quality, but not a Prinsu either

    @michaelclaw I was wondering if it has the spots for the cables to go through for the chargers in the center? Still havent bought it but I think I am going to pull the trigger today or asap. I was in a sketchy part of town and had some stuff in the truck. I feel like it's a NEED now haha. Just want to make sure I dont lose that usability.

    Are you talking about using the usb port inside the center console and running it out and (ex.) having your phone plugged in the cupholder? I’ve never done it and I don’t believe you can. Let me know if you mean something else and I can clarify

    If you just want to secure a gun from children then it will probably be sufficient.

    @michaelclaw It doesnt look like it has any holes but I am gunna buy it and Dremel it to work. Yeah, basically, so it has a hole so they can go through the safe and then go through the top and charge my phone from the cup holder.

    I would probably do one of those dremel cone bits so you can just make like a half circle, just big enough for the cable to slide through. Good luck though
