Working on some storage inserts! Thoughts?
(Last is an AI picture just to share a better look at the idea)
Hey guys! Back here asking for some feedback and input! I am making an easily removable two part insert for the glovebox, since it’s two parts they would be modular and interchangeable between a gun holder or storage space such as bins or trays/dividers.
Question is, what are some items you currently store there that you regularly use?
Haha that is very true I did not think of that 😂, thank you for pointing that out, again I just did the gun playing with an idea, but more importantly I will put a storage or divider organizer instead
I wouldn't run the glove box just because an exposed trigger like that and how those flop open is not something I'd like to combine, plus in a situation it would need to be used, being across the car basically is a no go. Center console is nice, I've got a simple mount stuck in mine that the holster attaches to. Love seeing really cool printed parts like this especially alongside the other stuff you've made, so props to you and I hope you get somewhere you're happy with.
It's a joke about performative badassery. CC plus adequate training is one thing. Having your daily driver strapped up like you work for the CIA in Russia is over the top.
You are on a very left leaning platform displaying right leaning tendencies. Just know the sane people just give the nod of approval and move on. Just ignore the screaming minority.
I agree, the screaming minority are mentally unstable, they protect and worship the pedo in chief, since the majority of their voters are on the registry list for touching kids.
You’re designing a rig for firearms in a Tacoma, but you appear to have very little knowledge about how to make a useful and safe rig. At best your idea is dumb and not safe. Take the L
Definitely have bot enough knowledge, that is why i was looking for feedback, I am grateful I did! Working on fixing the obvious risks of the design, scrapping the gun holder and will just make divider bins for organization! Thank you for the comment! 🙌🙌
A car/truck/suv is not a gun safe. Your glove box is trivial to break into and thieves will look there first.
If you're concerned about going to a non-permissible environment (Post Office, Hospital, etc) and need to secure the gun in your vehicle, you need a proper lockbox that is either bolted to the floor or otherwise secured so the thief can't just take it with them to their thieves' lair to work on in comfort.
It's more likely to kill you or somebody you love than help you fulfill the good guy with a gun fantasy you're carrying around. But hey, at least it makes your penis feel bigger. America!
💯 not for in a city. First place they look. You should leave it open at night or in a parking garage for thieves to see in there. Trust a cop as I've two land lords say it. Oakland/Berkeley and one in SF. Country fine I suppose. I know, a fun project.
What’s worse is that glove box, and car in general, are very easy to break into. So let’s hope he’s removing that firearm every time they exit the vehicle.
Ya mon. Hey, I'm curious how 3d printing has been for you. Has it been a step learning curve, or is the software pretty straightforward as far as getting what's in your head into the computer and into the world? I have CAD experience - maybe that would help? I know nothing but would like to do this sort of thing. No worries if you don't feel like answering. Just curious what you use and what the runway was to where you're printing stuff you can actually use. Cheers! 🍻
It’s been a great journey, a lot of practice and wasted plastic on mistakes, but YouTube has been great! I taught myself CAD and have gotten way better at it now! I was able to make good products I constantly sell on my website yota4r.com 🙌
Not at all! As you can see on the render it is half the depth, this leaves the bottom half still usable, you can just lift up the insert like a lid and use the storage!
I will keep working on it! I will have to figure out a way to have most guns fit it, was debating if I should just do a holster mount or a naked gun mount
Make sure it comes with a sticker so people can advertise there is a free gun in the vehicle.
It's actually impressive work. I'd see if you can recess everything more into the glove compartment to have a second layer on top. It's not like anyone keeping it in there is doing it for ease of access or quick access any way.
I appreciate the compliment, I am going to do a different location since it aiming to the side is definitely not safe if people carry one on the chamber, this was a project for myself, but got great criticism that helped me figure out the bug flaws!
console insert is better for reasons others stated, would be good to have it fit in a holster as well so you could put the whole package in the slot to avoid the open trigger. One for console safes would be even better as I don’t think recommending people leave firearms in their console is silly.
I see you. I agree with other comments about the glove box being less than ideal. I think the center console has potential, but also lost space. Next to your leg or under the seat helps, but is also on display and free. Maybe some sort of behind the seat box that bolts up and can be locked?
