    The aft compartment is for glasses, that one is easy for me to use. The forward compartment looks like it might be for a garage door opener? Well I have a carport, no garage door to worry about.

    Any good accessories to fit in here or other creative uses?

    kinda a good place to keep your registration, so you get it outta there, instead of reaching over to the glove box. just a thought.

    never know when you will need it.

    carjacker
    animals (bears) looking for food

    not likely youll need it but when you do it will save your ass

    Good spot for Juicy Fruit. or a spare can can of Copenhagen. Or an emergency $20. Or a handful of condoms. Or a few dime bags. You could stick all kinds of shit up there.

    Hope you carry it when not in your truck. I'd hate for you to arm a car thief with a quality .45. ;)

    Get one of those oxygen masks like they have in the overhead compartments of planes, then rig up a button to open the door so the mask drops. Get a passenger you like to pick on to ride with you. Pick a random moment to scream, "OH GOD!!" and then press the button.
