    I'll admit, having the slot on both the lid and the box is certainly more robust.
    The knob is not plastic, it just has a plastic grip ring around it. I'd be curious if just knocking the knob off and punching the pin out would be that easy. On any of them a crowbar would get it done, although the problem would be space and leverage. There's nothing really to pry against besides the plastic console, which would fail long before the safe lid would. A drill, a sawzall and the ability to make a bunch of noise without drawing attention would be ideal (like steal the whole truck and take it somewhere else, which at that point it doesn't really matter).

    Either way, this is all academic since the purpose of these safes is not to protect the Hope Diamond from international jewel thieves.
    Its just a deterrent for when/if you need to lock up something valuable short-term. I would never leave anything in there overnight or in a shady area where the probability of a break-in is higher. Different uses or circumstances may require more robust security, but I'm perfectly comfortable with the ability of the knock-off version to do what I need it to do.

    Sounds like a group buy for testing.
    Not a group buy where everyone gets to buy, but a group buy where everyone in the group pays a little for testing.
    Feel free to forward the money to me and I will conduct “testing”.

    Received mine today.
    It has the corner bend as well.

    I haven’t figured out... does this make me part of the cool club or not?

    I must have gotten lucky. I opened my $58 console box and it doesnt look like there's any bent corners. I am going to try to find time to get it installed today.

    image.jpg Received mine today......bent corner and all.

    I used a pair of pliers to fix the bend and installed in Ten minutes. You don’t have to take the console lid off to install as the instructions state. I will use the idea from a previous member and cut the organizer I had in the old console. I like keeping things neat and organized.

    Finally had a chance to install my $58 safe.
    I’m completely happy with this purchase.

    Fit was perfect and once I touch up the corner with a black marker, you’ll never know it had the bend.

    I plasti-dipped my small try to keep things from sliding around and to get rid of that hollow plastic sound.
    4 coats on both sides but you can’t hardly tell visually.

    And got my QuickDraw magnet installed.
    Box is just deep enough to rack the slide.

    Overall, I’m very happy with the deal and am glad I was able to take advantage with the heads up from my Tundras.com brothers.

    Went by the dealer today.
    Had a credit so I let them change the oil before going on vacation.
    There’s one service rep that always takes a look at my current mods.
    I showed him the Amazon console safe and he looked frustrated and it went like this.
    Rep: Who installed that? We have an installed special for $295 right now. What’d you pay for yours?
    Me: 58 bucks.
    Rep: Shutup! Seriously! What’d you pay?
    Me: 58 bucks
    Rep: that’s impossible!
    Me: Anything is possible.
    Rep: is it stolen?
    Me: Yes. From your storeroom.
    Rep: Bro! C’mon. What’d you really pay?
    Me: Seriously. 58 bucks
    Rep: Jeeez it looks just like ours.
    Me: Yep.

    We went to look at their display model. There was virtually no difference beside the locking mechanism itself. Both seem equally solid. The $58 has a four digit code while the Toyota one has a three digit code.

    Works for me.

    I just bought one of these. There are riveted rails in the front and back of the counsel. I’m unable to get it past these. Are you guys removing them or am I just not seeing something that I should be??

    Edit: Never-mind found other threads addressing this. Thanks

    Thanks Chad. I just installed a Lock'er Down 1/2 safe and it does not come with a tray. I'm going to see if I can find a tray that will fit.

    I used Chicago screws to secure my magnets in the safe.
    I trimmed them down with my dremel to the desired length..
    Safe dropped right down into the console when I was finished..

    I had same problem turn to unlock position, after combination set @000. Put a SMALL screwdriver between the front of the lid and the front lip that goes over front of console. Pry up slightly as you pull up w/ the small tab to open with. It is stuck from not being used. . My Dealer in Deland Fl. showed me the trick, previous owner could never get open or use! Hope it works for you! 34ford

    For ncreator 74, I had the same problem ,comes from not using, lid is stuck closed. set combo lock to 000, turn to unlock position w/ knob. Place the tip of a SMALL screwdriver between the front of the lid of vault and the lip of where the vault overlaps front of console. Pry up slightly as up pull up on finger lab to open. My Dealer in Deland Fl. showed me the trick, previous owner should never get to open and never used! Hope it works! 34ford

    The OEM is made by ConsoleVault. For the Sequoia, seems its only the full sized safe. I'm trying to decide between half or full size.

    My half safe came in today. For holsters, I'm looking to get a glock. My Kimber is a little big I think for this application. Anyone done a comparison for optimal pew pew dimensions?

    Also saw a video on YouTube where a guy in GA installed his holster in the corner of the safe so his hand could grab it with the quickness. Anyone have.thoights on this?

    Hi 34ford! I was starting to be concerned on how long was going to be the sentence when I got a traffic stop fortunately was empty!!!
    It was exactly that. I wonder how long it was from the previous (single) owner and me. It took a little bit of prying with a large screwdriver I had, but it finally gave in. I'm also happy to know that wasn't just me .

    Thank you so much for the feedback. And thanks a lot to all the other members that helped with different ideas. It is a really great group.
