New 2005 Tundra owner

The wife made me buy a pickup! She got tired of me telling her I could not do the home improvement projects she wanted because I could not haul home lumber, etc., in my 1991 Ford Tempo. You may try to use this line yourself!

I have the Access cab, V-6, with the 60/40 seats. The seat back is too tall to easily reach over into the back seat. We are used to carrying stuff in the back seat that can be reached from the front seat. This is important on long trips, i.e. cokes, extra maps, etc.

We are looking for some kind of storage device that will hang over the front side of the drivers seat that can be used for storage such as maps, AAA travel books, etc. Can anyone suggest a product?

Are there any devices available that attach to or hang over the drive shaft hump on the floor? Anything set on the hump rolls off in turns, I.E. kleenex box, etc. Even a small box to throw a tissue box, pen/pencils, cell phone, would be handy. On trips it is going to be inconvenient having to stop, get out, open the back door and then grab what I want off the rear seat.

I found an overhead shelf that is installed where the stock sun visor screws in but I can't tell from the photo if it blocks the stock mirror or the stowed items can be secured from falling/rolling out on my head. The Mrs. would not be impressed with something banging her on the noggin!

I was surprised to find that the two storage compartments on the floor in the back seat area are so small. It would have been nice if they were much bigger so that tools could be stowed away there. I am looking at having to store my tool box in the truck bed once my Snug top shell is installed (also ordered the Bed Rug).

I welcome any storage ideas/suggestions, cargo nets, gates, etc.

I have the same vehicle except it's a 2002. We have travelled a lot in it, and the only additional storage I have is a small garbage type bag in the front sitting on the hump, and a clothes bar across the back. I put the cell phone on a small pad I cut out of non slip rubber material used in kitchen cabinets and put that on the dash in the center. I use the clothes bar and put the clothes on the drivers side for good vision. I have a lot of stuff in those 2 storage areas in the back. When we pack, we put as much stuff we won't use in the truck in the bed, and the rest goes in the back seat. Maps and things like that are stored in the door compartments and glove box. The big map book is kept on the drivers side in the back, and my wife can reach around to pick that up if needed. You have a lot more storage area than you think you do.
