If you don't want to deal with aggressive drivers and tailgaters just put in a gun rack with a couple fishing poles and a couple gun orientated stickers on the back window. I recently purchased an older GMC pickup with a rack and and stickers in the back window. I've been stunned by how much more peaceful driving is now.

NEVER put a fire arm sticker on ANY vehicle. Your gun will be stolen or even worse, you just tipped him off that you are armed and he will be overly aggressive. The attacker ALWAYS has the advantage. Just FYI

[@Tonyyyzx11]

Thank you I just purchased a 2019 GMC 2500, i was yanking away at the cup holder, wish they had kept it removable. Definitely going to do this mod.

[@cavtj1]

Don't know why they stopped putting the removable one in the 2016-2019 trucks. You could move the cup holder to the front or the rear of the console. I miss that in my 2019. Maybe I will try this mod. Thank you for posting this Mr. Fox! You are one smart feller!

[@somedude0505]

I think there were too many complaints of rattleing noise coming from the center console. It was the cup holders moving, so they made it more permanent with the tabs you saw on this video.

[@SultanofSpey]

Yeah, and every time my Yeti 30 ounce tumbler locks into that rubber cup insert I'll have to fight with that tray to stay put. No thanks. I might consider a really solid center console safe or one of those cable safes under a seat for the gun when I can't actually have it with me. But any gun worth having is a gun worth wearing. I don't think people realize how quickly this kind of thing happens. If you've made the decision it's time to go to guns, you've probably already lost. The high percentage win against a car jacking is driving better. Do your best to never get boxed in. Always keep your eyes moving. Always leave enough room to maneuver decisively between you and the vehicle in front of you before coming to a stop. You don't need much room at a stop light to maneuver. It just takes practice to remember to do it every time. If you have time to see an ambush or jacking coming, you've got time to get away. Go ahead and dump on me if you want. Tell me I have no idea what I'm talking about if you want but I know a little something about this. I've had extensive training in this type of thing. Besides, this way you never have to spill your 44 ounce slushy to get to a gun into action that should be on you anyhow. We can argue about carry positions, holster selections, and weak hand shooting another day.

[@johnh7854]

@@kevefox trying to figure out a stash pocket in the GMC 1500 with center console while at my local accessory shop. I suggested the area under the cup holder may work. Pull out the rubber insert and use a hole saw to open the bottom. Then drop in a ABS or PVC pipe cap. If there is enough depth, maybe a short section of 2" or 3" pipe or even a cleanout fitting (closed with a flush screw plug). The residual lip on the bottom should be enough to support the rubber cup holder bottom
