    I’m wondering if there are any stash spots or area where I can hide some “valuables”. Does anyone know where they’re at on the first gens?

    Are we talking first gen stash spots , 2nd gen stash spots or 3rd gen stash spots ?
    I know where to hide the stuff . Send me a PM


    I will start with a 2nd gen stash spot .
    I have a TRD air filter on my Tacoma . I dont know what they were thinking but there is room for all kinds of stash underneath the filter . You have to tape down whatever it is you are stashing mind you because the intake will draw your stash into the engine if it isnt secured .
    Now , you gotta make sure your stash is super secure in this application because if it goes through the engine , the people driving behind you will know you were trying to hide a stash :bananadead:

    The location you are implying is not available on mine. I installed a PCV type check valve to ensure things only travel in one direction: out!

    Best factory stash spot for extended cabs is the spare tire tool compartments under the jump seats.

    You can even change the latch to a lockable one if you got creative.
