I've seen is the middle console that a friend installed in his M-1009. It
has cup holders in both the front and rear along with a very large center
compartment. The aft cup holders come out as one unit if you pry hard
leaving a rather nice open space that is between the center compartment and
the rear wall. In there he installed both a small belt holster and a two
mag ammo pouch. Both the pouch and the holster are installed with Velcro
that is super bonded with Gorilla Glue!
driver's seat. I looked for about an hour, even pulled up on both the front
and rear cup holders without finding anything!! He then showed me the trick
of opening that space and once you see it done it is VERY easy to do.
Without seeing how it's done I highly doubt that anyone could find it
without tearing up the truck.................though there are specialists
that would most likely know about that space. People that run the
checkpoints for border crossings and that check vehicles going into high
level areas. Unless they were on alert and the driver/passengers acted
funny or out of place they would most likely get through with that one thing
hidden.
deep ca-ca if the stuff hits the fan!! Thanks again for sharing that idea,
it's a very good one!
