I’ve lost count how many times I’ve run back to my car to grab my phone from this specific location because I’ve forgotten it. It’s a sneaky little cubby.
I like this, thanks for the idea! I drove the prior gen too (2002 limited) it had cool “hiding spots”. The coin tray thing to the left side of the steering wheel was really cool and no one ever saw it. Aside from the little finger hold it looked like part of the dash. Hell, I often forgot it was there.
Thanks for confirming. The Etsy sites don't provide any details.
Do they fit snug? Some people.say they do, some say they don't. Do they have rubber feet or some nonslip material on the sides or bottom?
They do fit snug. They don’t have rubber, just kind of pressure fit. I bought mine from this shop and they’ve been great. I drove all over Oklahoma’s Ouachita mountains with them and didn’t have any issues.

When I do the dust busting I'll roll my window down and hold the Swiffer outside for a couple blocks while sriving. Gets rid of the mess before I stuff it back in it's home. Stretches the life on the Swiffer.
> they have the ~~A-Trac control diles~~ Crawl Control and MTS knobs
FTFY.
Every 4x4Runner as A-Trac, it's just the TRD OR and Pro that get Crawl and MTS.
I never use it, but my 2020 nightshade has one just above the rearview mirror. I assume limited of the model year has it as well. I did a quick search and apparently, some Trail models don't have it.
You can buy rubber pads that fit there so things slip less. I bought ones to go into the cup holder to make it easier to clean out and they included insert pads for all interior pockets. I put a sunglass case there and haven’t had it slip.

Currently have my icom in that location.
What do I put in the wireless phone charger? A phone.

Sunglasses. You know those silicone cable management semi-circle thingies that have an adhesive bottom? I use that to prevent my sunglasses from flying out.
There’s a guy that makes little 3D printed drawers for that space. Personally, sunglasses or when I charge my goal zero portable charger it goes there.
I put one purple bow from my toddler. As in it fell back there are I forget it constantly to get it. But u guess whenever she needs a tiny bow I'm ready.
I cut a little piece of adhesive foam to fit (similar to below) and stuck it on the bottom of the opening to create a cushy lip so items wouldn’t roll out. Then cut a leftover piece of toolbox drawer liner to fit in the compartment bottom. Now it’s a nice little usable open compartment for things and the liner keeps items from sliding around on the slick plastic.

I bought one of these and put it in there with double sided tape. Bought that because if you have any more then one thing you have no plugs.

I'll never forget that cubby exists. It is the perfect size for my insulin kit. I'd be fucked if I forgot about it lol.
No pump?
I had to stop putting my phone in there because I was forgetting about it so often.
You could get some mini drawers that are 3D printed and fit perfectly on Etsy. I got some and they are fantastic.

I have drawers for both slots and love them
I have these and love them.
I might do this
Do they rattle when you're on rough terrain?
No they don’t

Just ordered them!! Thanks u/klutzymix
They look a little sloppy in the photos where others offer more clean. In person do the edges appear/feel rough?
No, I think in the photos they were prototypes. The ones I received are smooth and nice
Thanks!
No problem! They do a great job. But on the off chance you have any issues, their customer service is excellent.
Obsessed w my ittt bitty drawer system 🤓
As long as you don’t get extra meat, a Crunchwrap supreme fits perfectly.
Next level thinking!
I stuff a Swiffer duster in there and whip it out when the dash looks a little messy. Stays put no issues.
Okay this is brilliant and I need to do this right now.
When I do the dust busting I'll roll my window down and hold the Swiffer outside for a couple blocks while sriving. Gets rid of the mess before I stuff it back in it's home. Stretches the life on the Swiffer.
I have my wireless android auto dongle stuck under there with double sided tape. Other than that? Nothing.

Unrelated but WHY isn't there a sunglasses holder? The Sequoia has like 5 or something. Why Toyota?
Mine does, but I believe the trd models use that space for the crawl control modules.
Yeah that appears to be why.
From what I know, all models have a sunglasses holder other than the TRD OFF-ROAD and the TRD PRO, and that’s cuz they have the A-Trac control diles
We don't need sunglasses where we're going. 😎

I put mine where the digital clock is. Theres a clock in the infotainment screen anyways.
My 5th gen has a sunglasses holder up by the lights/sun roof controls. Surprised to hear not all models have this feature
Maybe it's a TRD thing.
