Whatever mod you end up going with, it is important to keep things organized. Check out our overview and descriptions on each of these additions below.
No Center Console Organizer
Your 4Runner comes with a big open space in the console, leaving all of your tools, and accessories prone to a natural disaster. Have you ever had to take an hour out of your day to clean your console? Yeah, it sucks.
With an organizer, you can keep things clean and organized without having to do annual cleanings just to remember that one pack of gum you bought only had one piece missing.
You can buy one for super cheap or build one with plastic pieces. We opted to buy one of the organizers made by Vehicle OCD™ (Organized Console Device), but I am sure you can figure something out a DIY if you try hard enough. At the end of the day, these things are so cheap that you can probably give yourself more of a headache trying to build something.
Console Organizer
This is a simple two-piece plastic separator that locks together and then locks into place and sits at the bottom of the center console. It gives you four different sections to work with, rather than one.
Having an organized center console can mean the difference between a massive headache on a road trip and a pleasant journey when you need your charger, gum, hand sanitizer, pen, paper, portable battery charger, headphones, screwdriver or whatever else you throw in your center console.
Console Tray
The tray sits on top of your center console rails and hovers just above the separators. The tray gives you two additional sections to work with as opposed to zero. Both the tray and the organizer are made from ABS (Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene – Strong at all temperatures, cold and hot) plastic with a basic Matte Black finish.
The tray made by Vehicle OCD™ (Organized Console Device) is 2″ deep and there is 1.5″ between the top of the lower separator and the bottom of the console tray. All of your power ports are accessible after both of these have been dropped in.
SECOND OPTION FOR TRAY: Your other option for a center console tray is the tray made by POZEL. It is a little different and offers a pretty cool lining to it. The POZEL has slots that run verticle, not horizontal like the Vehicle OCD™ tray.
The Safe Mod
Both the tray and the organizer are not compatible with the safe mod. If you are looking for a “safer” option for storing your goods, look into this unit.
The safe/ vault Mod is well-known and well talked about Mod in the forums, but for around $300 can be a bit pricey. If the price is no problem and you really need to keep things safe, then for sure, this is a great mod. The safe mod works for all 5th Gen 4Runner models (2010-2018+).
Made out of 12 Gauge Cold Rolled Plate Steel and welded together with notch seems, you can seriously count on the safe mod for reliability and keeping your goods safe. This safe also has a 3 point locking system that will reset someone trying to pry it out of your center console. Also, the installation can be done in about 10 minutes. Win-Win in our book.
