I have to work to get into my center console. Lifting the arm rest up then another hatch to get to the small console. I can get my programmer and phone charger.

So I was at Home Depot and came across a Husky 10x10 rigid side bag with a larger soft side bag for 16 bucks. Figured WHY NOT.

Had to cut the handle and sides leading up to the handle off then my wife stitched it all back together for me and now at least I can find stuff in the cavernous black hole of my 2013's pass through center console.

Not perfect but works GREAT for me - not sure of size differences between years though.

So with it in the center console area there is room for it to move side to side to get things in and out of the side pockets (less used items) and front to back for the pouch, pen holders and zippered pocket (extra business cards etc., etc.)

Then my normal stuff in the main area that is broken into 5 areas with pockets for like my flashlight etc. Large center area is for what I have at the time.

Still have some room on the sides and front for things like my knife etc.

Removable tray still fits in no problem and slides side to side and NOW I can find my stuff without removing EVERYTHING and throwing it on the seat.

I can't figure out why they did the lid to the console itself that way. Cell phones, Ipods etc. change size so often that it was useless to me so use the phone holder for the truck pocket 9mm and the ipod holder for an extra mag. Just threw those in for fun as it is so useless. Maybe I will make something for that down the road.

Not perfect but it works for me, pockets on the outside and dividers in and for me was affordable.

Went to AC Moore and found a really nice solution! 3 levels and they come out together. Fits perfectly between the jack pack and the rear wall. This leaves plenty of room closes to you for an ipad or whatever...
Only modification is to cut off the 2 bottom tabs off. This makes for a perfect fit that wont make any noise sliding around.

I know they make the locking console safes for guns, that fit on the floor of the console! But I dislike how you lose your console! A buddy was telling me they now make them for our console lids, has anyone seen one yet? I haven't had any luck finding one using google!

Just ordered my quick disconnect kit. Did you use the bolts that come with it to mount it inside the console, or dud you have to use something different?
