Was lurking at Tacoma4g and saw this great 3D print secret cubby organizer. Posted by @MrB4D
I got bored on a 5hr flight and figured I would make the "secret cubby" organizer. The main things I wanted to store are the lug nut key and a spare battery for the key fob (and card fob). I was also able to fit in a Leatherman Sidekick (though I'm sure other small multitools would fit). On the back there is a cut out for 2 command strips to help hold this in place (some velcro strips would work too, though they might need some trimming). I added some moleskin to the inside of the upper Leatherman cutout to help hold it into place and help silence any rattling. I think a slot or 2 for keys would be a good option, but with how easy it is to break into vehicles, I thought it might be better to not include it... STL included so you can add yourself if you think it is an acceptable risk.
NOTE: the point of this organizer is not to be something you use daily, just something you use in a pinch (key fob/headlamp goes dead, wire needs cut, etc)

Some notes:
- Command strips do not stick to the plastic in the cubby very well
- A layer of moleskin on each side of the Leatherman stops it from shaking (maybe have it wrap around to the front of the organizer to stop fraying and improve longevity)
- I removed the pocket clip on the Leatherman to help it fit better
- Getting batteries out is a little challenging, but with command strips (or velcro) pulling out the organizer isn't an issue
Potential modifications:
- Adding an angle/champers to help guide the multitool in
- Key slot (at your own risk)
- Slots for some common socket sizes
- Socket wrench or screwdriver with different tips
- Flashlight
- Air Tag/Pixel Tag (go Android) if you forget your parking spot often
- CR123 batteries
