Hidden Compartment

[boaia5650]

I just got a 98 explorer, and i want to find a good hidden compartment / hidding spot, ive been looking and cant find anything good, and most of you have explorers, i figured id ask

How about the kleenex box?

I must warn you that federal drug trafficing enforcement is pretty tough nowadays...

What are you trying to hide? How easily do you need to access when you are in the driver's seat? How often?

 

[boaia5650]

nothing illegial, but i would need to get to it every once in a wile (5 times a day) and it would be better if i didnt have to leave the drivers seat

in my 98 ex at least, it is fairly easy to pull up the message center/pockets that is right below the a/c controls, enough room for many things

 

[Gator Jeff]

Sorry, can't think of anything that isn't staring you in the face. I was thinking about the little pocket on the right hand side by the liftgate. It actually pulls out (that's where the subwoofer option/upgrade goes). It would make a nice hiding spot.

If you have this console, you can lift up at the front, and remove the highlighted piece, and there is room below. What are you looking to..um..transport?

What do you need to hide, to give an idea of what hiding spots can accommodate.

 

[boaia5650]

spare key

 

[MustangP51]

under the dashboard by the pedals, the tissue box holder, or behind the glove box puch the tabs in

Welcome to this forum! Clip it behind the sun visor.

How often do you lose your keys that you need the spare 5 times a day?!

 

[manaen]

I'm guessing he either owns or works for a company that needs to run deposits to the bank a few times a day :scratch:

This could be a thread all by itself, "Guess the Contraban"

how about your pocket

I have a distant relative that locks the key in the truck and uses the key pad to unlock it. Keeps the key from getting lost and pockets free from clutter.
