GREAT idea. Won't work in my vehicle - a 2015 4Runner. It might have room under one or the other sides of the split seat for a gun rug with a small pistol in it, but not for any kind of long gun - even a take down version. I've got to figure out some other alternative. Unfortunately, I'm not sure it is possible to find one without spending some considerable amount of money. I like the idea of those slide out flat drawers for the cargo compartment, but man....... $$$

This rifle is a little long for this case, it was designed for an M4 with a 14.5" barrel. you can see the grommets in the bottom



Here is a view of the grommets, and the zip tie and connection system going back to my seat frame.



Here is what it looks like once I zip it up and drop the seat.



Here is a wider view of what it looks like:



In the green bag are 10 mags, a basic cleaning kit with a bore snake, oil bottle and q-tips.

This setup works for me because I park in my garage at night, and I am an independent health insurance agent, and 99% of my appointments are in the client's home or I meet them at a Starbucks or something. I am rarely more than 30-40 yards away from my truck. I have very little fear of having it broken into and stolen like I would if it was parked in an employer's lot 8 hours per day. YMMV, but it works for me and is cheap.

I pull the rifle out quarterly and re-lube it. Never had a problem.
