Hey folks - Hoping for some guidance here. I'm looking to install a gun safe that can be placed in the drivers seat area. Obviously in a concealed region, but given that the Limited trim has power seats, I don't think under my seat is an option.

For context, this would be used to store the firearm where they are not permitted (as I live in state that has a ton of sensitive locations). However, my initial research only shows center console safes.. which don't look like they'd fit a standard glock 19. Maybe 43x.. MAYBE.

Would prefer something that I can bolt down obviously. Thank you all in advance!

I used a Vaultek lifepod cabled under the passenger seat. It didn't seem like there was sufficient space under the driver's side to fit it.

Not a lotta options on the 6th gen. Irritating they reduced the size of the console. I usually carry a 1911 and no way it fits pretty much anywhere

Console safe on 6th gen hybrid is so small now with the hybrid design. Can barely fit it in there. Have to contort it.

Just got a vaultek today. will give passenger side a try!
So I essentially made a 'handle' with duct tape on the front of the vaultek. The safe sits under the passenger seat and I can reach over and grab the 'handle' to pull it up onto the passenger seat to open it. I'll try and get a picture tomorrow.

Confirming that the Vaultek Lifepod 20 does NOT fit under the passenger or drivers seat of a Limited gas only trim of the 4runner... Need other options now

Oh that's a big bummer.

I use this one; there's the difference.
