cubby looks like my cubbies on my 2nd GenTacoma.
Nice!
Rivet nut is best
I had this in my precious Tacoma before it was totaled. I didn’t notice until a few months ago that my new Tacoma I got last year didn’t have this cubby.
I’ll be installing the OEM version once I find $300 somewhere 😂
Not to shabby
Lol! Came out well👍
Nice Job
Thanks 👍
Nice one we'll done
Thanks👍
That sure helps in storage. Good job, nasty stuff that bed material. Cannot find the link for the box on your video. Can you post it to me here! Thanks for the video.
Outstanding job....
Thanks👍
I know this is a year old but this is exactly what i was looking for. I'll be doing this but adding an ARB compressor in this very location. Thanks !!
Awesome! Thanks for watching 👍
Truthfully I'm thinking about doing an insert in the bottom but for my gladiator. My arb fridge is to damn tall to close my tonneau cover. I'm not replacing my fridge. Lol I originally had it for by jl jeep.. and the gladiator bed is so damn shallow. Leaving the fridge exposed doesn't seem like a good idea. And I don't have room in my cab becouse of my shepherds. And wife. 😆
nice job. nice mod. 👌🏾👌🏾
Thanks
I'm asking myself what I have to put in there thats so important that I need to do this. Imho, without security and water proofing, a molle panel would be more desirable.
Definitely go with what you think is most beneficial. I like that I can put things like tie downs, gloves, etc in there to get them out of the truck. Things that I won’t go crazy over should sticky fingers decide to visit😬
Looks great. Could you also have popped off that taillight and reached in and used washer and nuts?
I bet I could have! Didn’t think of it😬
Your compartment is a good one cos its a closed sealed compartment. Mine are not closed sealed . So if i have things inside them and it is raining everything inside is wet
Water can still enter thru the holes in the bottom and the latch slots on the top. Better than wide open, but still not waterproof 😬
I see
Background streaming Top Tacoma Mods 35 of 92 completed. What else is a work mobile phone good for?!?
Lol! 😬
Thank u rob. I got this box from local fb market as my 21 did not come with one.min cost 20$. and was thinking about what lug nuts. Thank u. Thank u. 🙏
Wow! That’s a great find👍
Nice job, Rob. I think you should have drilled each corner leaving the corners round. This will prevent any cracking of the composite material from the corners.
That would have been a better option for sure👍
After cutting the composite bed and seeing how tough it is, I don't think that will be an issue
You can in fact get rivnuts.
Good idea👍
Oscillating tool is so easy to use. Best tool ever used .
your right. I've use them for lots of stuff, worn out 2 , on my third,
Got it.....just had to review ur video. Sparks said wouldn't fit my 22 TRD, I guess the site doesn't realize I'm going to cut a whole for it not use a existing hole that's not there.
Yup….sometimes the dealers are to literal!! 👍👍
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
👍
Job well done Rob looks awesome just like the factory did it.
Thanks Chad. It came out really well. Pretty easy in the end👍
I think I will do this. That's a handy storage compartment.
For sure. Not too difficult either. 👍👍
Nice mod Rob, thought my Tacoma could use a bit more storage and was ready to order until I checked the price, $300.00 for a small cubby seems a bit steep.
Definitely not inexpensive!
Fantastic! Welcome back to the storage cubby club.
Absolutely! Should never have been removed!!😬
Threaded rivet inserts work well for your cubbyhole installation, that will work better
Great mod for newer Tacomas! I noticed the missing box on my 2021 compared to my 2018 and was wondering if that box could be added to my 2021. Thanks for being the guinea pig for the rest of us cutting your Tacoma (scared face here) :)
In the end it was pretty easy. Just the initial fear of cutting into the truck!😬
Haha I ended up doing this a month or 2 ago
Nice job rob looks awesome it looks Is factory
Thanks👍
I did my 2019 about 8 months ago with a tuffy box. I used riv nuts and it worked no problem.
Got pretty close to the stabilization rigidty fin that's under the kydex bed lining surface though
I’m real close to that too! Right beside it I think👍
what is a riv nut?
Rivet nut. Google it. You drill a hole and with a special rivet gun you can put a permanent embedded nut into the hole that is sandwiched around the surface and allows you to thread in boltsscrews as you need
@@devinsheehan936 Thanks. You can purchase a whole kit on Amazon.
Looks great but pricetag of $275+ not counting discount is a bit pricey. Junkyard for me for now.
The junkyard or secondhand is a good source too👍
Just bought a tacoma, thank you for all your help and your vids man🙌
Congrats and thanks for watching 👍
Hey Rob, nice work. My 17 has that box, but I know on the later ones it was eliminated. That change plus some others helped pay for the power seat on the later models.
Yup…seems they reallocated the options😬
Nice job Rob. That turned out good!
Thanks! Looks like it was always there👍
I don’t blame you for changing to the jigsaw. You have to be comfortable using it. Im going to try an oscillating tool first because Im familiar with it. But if it doesn’t feel right Ill switch over. I have a rivnut tool for the fasteners .
For sure! Been using the jig saw for years. The oscillating saw just didn’t have a good feel for me😬
Nice work!
You could have also placed a washer on the screw/bolt, placed a little adhesive on the t-nut and tightened them individually. Allowing the bards on the t-nut to inbed into the plastic with a bit of adhesive. This would ensure the t-nut won't fall out when you install the box.
I might do this. Any storage that doesn't take up bed space is a winner.
Good idea too👍. It’s a fun mod with benefit 👍
Thanks for this. I'm going to add it to my 2022 tacoma. I plan on putting straps and the hitch ball in there to free up some space under the rear seats.
It’s pretty handy👍
looks great, good job
Thanks Terry👍
Good idea...my Tacoma came with the extra, large cubby storage but had the no lock lid, which are pretty ez to steal or get off to steal the contents. I ordered a steel, double locking lid from Mob Town Offroading. Its a EZ install and better for safeguarding the contents.
Definitely need something more substantial if you're looking to keep things locked up👍
Looks great Rob 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks 👍
Where can I find this cubby?
Nice mod! Now where’s the link for the cubby?
Gotta watch the video.
Great job! I’d like to do this if i could find a used cubby. I was laughing that you seem to jump head first into mods that terrify me: cutting your bed for the cubby or cutting trim for the BA front bumper (which I want!!), but recommend not doing DIY bed lighting which looks super easy and the tailgate lock (which I did). I just watched TH-camrs like you/ online read instructions until I felt comfortable.
Well done Rob as you thought through this very diligently. Your mod came out very successful.
Thanks Ryannew! I tried to think of everything before I started👍
Awesome job Rob, it looks stock and professionally installed. Don’t think it could have been done any better. Pretty brave mod too, at least I think so. My hat is off to you. Personally, I don’t think much of the cubby itself. It doesn’t really hold much. If mine didn’t have one I wouldn’t miss. Of course, I have a locking bed cover, so everything is secure. Again awesome mod, this is why I tune in. 😬
Thanks Terrance. Probably one of the riskiest I’ve done😬
U did excellent work Rob. Good job. That is were my compartment is on my 2017 Tacoma.
Thanks. Pretty easy using the remaining cubby as a guide👍
Yes your right pretty easy.
The most daunting part was the cut! You only bogey one shot (unless you go too small)😬
Looks amazing!!
Thanks👍👍
Awesome job, looks great 👍
Thanks 👍
Awesome job!
Thanks! In the end, it was a very satisfying project 👍
Well thought out. I have enough trouble running a jig saw while standing over material on a flat surface. A no go for me.
Lol! I’ve been jig sawing since I was a kid! Much more comfortable with that👍
A real man doesn’t measure his manhood with power tools😬
Love it great work!
Thank you!👍
Good morning Rob. Another day in paradise. Great finished product! You had me on edge of my seat watching you cut! Suspenseful to say the least!
Good afternoon! I felt much better after the first cut. Right up until i saw how quickly that composite material ate my new blade!! Worried two wasn't enough😬
Great work, Rob! Looks very professional.
Came out very well. You’d think it came that way👍
Do you happen to have a link for parts? Can't find the box on that website.
All the part numbers are in the video. I do not have links👍
I like it 👌
Thanks👍
When I got my 2020 I did not notice it was gone. I used that cubby for trash while standing outside the truck. I had a coke can that needed the trash and bent over to put it in the cubby and it wasn’t there anymore! Good install video if it doesn’t cost $200.
It was a fun install…after the cutout of course👍
Great job Rob excellent install video, I have a 2017 so my taco has the cubby hole, but I do hate that Toyota took the driver side cubby hole off, on mine I install the ARB air compressor in it. Love the video have a great week 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks Juan. It was a fun project (after the cutting)😬
Stupid question, why is the Tundra channel called FST?
Not at all! FST = “Full Size Trucks”. There will be other full size trucks on the channel as well👍
@@RobMotive lol awesome!! That was going to bother me until I found out! Glad to hear there will be other full size trucks on the channel!! Keep up the great work!
Gotta keep it interesting 👍👍
Nice job! Definitely going to add that to my list!
Pretty easy mod. Just have to get the position correct👍
@@RobMotive LOL nothing is easy for me! I could mess up a bologna sandwich!
Lol! Maybe you should hire this one done😬
@@RobMotive actually your videos are good enough for me because we're a lot alike in a lot of ways so you make it pretty easy to understand. So thanks bro and keep on rollin with them videos!
Thanks Roger! I appreciate that 👍👍
Dude! You killed it!!!! Made it look so easy and came out PERFECT!
Thanks Aing. It was really pretty easy. Looks factory👍👍
That would be a super useful addition for those with lockable tonneau covers looking for a place to store some more straps. Wish Toyota made them a little more waterproof though... and lockable for people without a tonneau.
For sure. There is a lock mod that I did on my 2018. Pretty easy. I have seen some try to make it waterproof, but with the way the latches work it’s almost impossible 🤔
@@RobMotive I have a tonneau so I think the door would be good enough. Just wonder what you think about water getting in from tire spray inside the wheel well? Think it's even an issue?
For sure water will get in unless you close the holes👍
@@RobMotive I made mine waterproof on my 2017. Had to add small hinges to be able to cover those slots. Check out my video if you want to do it. Nice job.
Very nice job rob the only thing I'm kind of worried about is the square corners stress sometimes makes square corners Crack that's why people cut rounded corners in certain material but these beds are pretty darn strong so you probably all right
I saw your original comment about that. It was too late by then, but I agree with you👍
Like I said the material they make the beds out of is very durable I think it's cross linked like fiberglass but much stronger at first I had some reservations about it but after having 3 tacomas with it one a work truck I like it better than steel no bed liners no dents no chance of rust
Whew! I’m glad you got those t-nuts to work. The prongs are designed to penetrate into wood. With the bed being made of fiber reinforced plastic of some type, I was afraid it would be just brittle enough to crack and/or shatter when you tightened the screws.
So… What do you plan on putting in the cubby???
They really made it easy to fasten. I wouldn’t go crazy right with them, but you shouldn’t anyway IMO.
My 17 has the cubby. It's great for holding some coiled up ratchet straps.
Looks just like my factory installed on nice job I would really miss these to they where one of those little extras that I like about toyota wondering if you where going to install locks like you did on your other tacoma take care rob
Thinking about locks. Not sure yet🤔
Great job Rob. Would you line it with rubber to prevent rattles? Like the color matching tape to truck! You think of everything. LOL 😆
Lol! Gotta be stylish when modding!! You could line it, but the only thing that might rattle is the door. The cubby should be firm👍
Came out good. My 16' already had the two cubbies. I was hoping to use one for my charger, or air compressor. The charger might fit as it is pretty small, but forget the compressor, not to mention it isn't waterproof. What's the point of a non waterproof cubby? I just can't think of what I'd use it for. I suppose I could throw some bungee cord's in a bag in there?
Yup! Anything that water won’t ruin👍
Awesome job 👍👍👍 wife’s going love this one add to my Pit of new stuff too add on my replacement Tacoma!! 5 days (🙏) let you know, called them this morning to confirm delivery time!!
Lol! Your pile must be pretty large by now! This mod is really pretty easy. Of course the daunting part is the cutting😬
@@RobMotive still no word on the Tacoma starting to get PO!! I might go down there!!
How long has it been?
@@RobMotive have 5 days left! but want to make sure when delivery is! Getting impatient watching these Tacoma videos starting to get withdrawals 😂 I have a badge and a gun , taser, AR and shotgun one way or another I’ll get my answer!! Just joking they know who I am, so I do t need to go that drastic I hope😂👍👍👍👍😎
Lol! That might do it😬
This is a great mod! WTH was Toyota thinking omitting the cubby? Oh, now I know why...not enough superconductor chips. Duh, how stoooopid of me. NEVERTHELESS, this is one of my favorite mods...perfectly utilitarian!
Pretty easy too…once I overcame my fear of cutting the bed👍
Very nice 👍... Just like it should have always been "Toyota". I would have been nervous the whole time. Well done. You should mass produce your template, and sell it. Recreate it in a pdf that is printable possibly.
Not a bad idea. 🤔
Great work! Your storage box looks pro-installed! I'd order one too, but then that begs the question of what I would store in it! :D
Thanks! It’s great for “stuff”😁
Great job, a simple mod but one has to wonder why Toyota stopped it.. maybe a marketing ploy 😁 But hey I see you have another video up for your Tundra, need to get on over there and watch that!
All about the bottom line I’m sure! I didn’t notice a price reduction when they removed it🤔. Lots of cool Tundra stuff coming👍👍
Curious if water/ mud will enter your drain holes from tire splash back, or will items remain dry inside?
It can get in for sure. It is not waterproof .
Great install. My biggest peeve about the Tundra is the lack of storage included with the truck. Do they actually think I'm going to cram everything into the console. LOL The Tacoma has everyone beat with all these storage places on the third generation.
Definitely ample storage in the Tacoma. The cubby mod just adds more👍
Also, can you paint the fenders flares of a sport to make it look like the off road? If so how?
You could...but I'd just replace them with black flares👍
I am considering plasti-dipping my fender covers.
Kind of funny. I've got one and never use it.
Lol! I always found something to put in there👍
love this mod, you shouldn't got rid of this Tacoma after all you did to it and looks better than the one you got now lol
Lol! It was nice👍
