    I wanted to share my experience installing the FAS1-TL in my 2017 Tundra CrewMax Limited for my Glock 17 w/ +2 mag, light, and Holosun red dot.

    First of all, the reason I chose this safe was its superior construction and thick 7GA walls. Secondly, it leaves room for console organization. It holds your "valuables" safely and is made in the USA.

    I originally had the Vehicle OCD organizers. Found here and with some modification was able to still utilize them after install.

    The safe is installed into the stock bolt holes for the center console using 3" M6-1.0 and some washers.

    Downsides: 1) it opens to the front so flagging a passenger is a possibility, though this is only used when I am forced to leave my valuables in the car - otherwise they're on my person. 2) The M6 bolts aren't as big and tough as I'd like, but someone would have to come really prepared to get this out.

    FYI - if you run a compact or sub-compact, the FAS1-Compact is a bit shorter and opens 90 degrees allowing a right handed draw.

    It is! Like I said, this is only for storage if I'm forced to be without it. While I'm driving its IWB. This is not for "drawing".
