Dude. You're costing me money. The mat for the cargo area? Where did you get that?

To whom are you referring to? Most of the mats pictured are the Toyota OEM "all weather cargo mat". I have an extra one (I ordered it before I got the LC) but it would cost a lot to ship it to Cali.

OP for sure, he got some cool stuff. Wasn't sure if the mat was OEM or not. They gave me a carpet mat but I put dogs and real estate signs back there so rubber makes more sense.

The all weather cargo mat is avail online Toyota dealers, for approx $135 shipped.

So I ordered these off Amazon - they were like $10
I had my car pretty shined up, so I used some alcohol prep pads and cleaned the appropriate area.
I’ve only used this one day so o cannot speak to sticking a billing term
- it does come with red 3m type pull tape - so far so good

Hello, are this little nets still working out for you? We are on our first long road trip and boy is the lack of storage apparent. Where do I put my @#$@# phone. Anyway, if this is working we’re going to be ordering. Thanks!

Mine came off minutes after I stuck the phone on it even though I'd cleaned the area thoroughly and let it cure a couple of days... I wouldn't recommend wasting your money on this.

Just about anything that uses adhesive to mount isn't going to last with any type of weight put in it. I used "binder posts" to securely mount mine. When traveling, I keep my "L" shaped device in it with no issues. If you search this forum for "EOD Guy's ride" ...... that's what they look like.

I have the same storage pocket organizer as EOD guy, looks nice (thx for the suggestion! ) . Used several pieces of the 3M scotch mount double-sided extreme mounting strips (414H-ST). Trimed the strips to fit over the cheap adhesive on the pouch. Thought I'd try before going the more permanent route. Cleaned area with diluted rubbing alcohol first. Seems to be working so far (1000 miles and counting). Haven't used for L-shaped device but working well for lightweight stuff, phone etc.

I thought about it for a while, my rationale for the permanent mount............ This vehicle is always going to need storage, so I'm never going to remove them and if I ever sell it, it's not going to detract from the selling price.

Sorry very busy weekend just now checking into the forum. The nets were really great to hold my phone and key however, I have not had a chance honestly to figure out how to use them because mounting them on the side where I had the mounting does not work out. It slides and will not stay in place. There was some advice given about pulling up a trim piece in order to make this work and that very well may work. I just haven’t had a chance to get around to that yet.

Nice little pockets, but adhesive will not stick even using alcohol wipes to clean surface. Seems like a common issue with anything using a stick-on solution. Not sure I want to drill a hole to bolt them on, so probably will trash them.

Before you trash them you might try adding some clear/black plastic strips that could be bolted to the pouches and wrapped around the knee bolster and glued to the back of the bolster. There are many different colored plastic containers in which you could cut the strips from......... Ie... clear the more expensive flavored water bottles, for black oil bottles etc......... might be worth your time to experiment.

My initial plan was to use some metal strips and make hooks but decided to just permanently mount them.

So I intentionally went to REI looking for "storage solutions" and knew firsthand it would likely be costly if I found anything. Well damnit, once I realized how good all the Blue Yeti Sidekick dry bags looked with my Heritage Blue FE I knew I was screwed. In my defense I already owned the $200 blanket ,well my pup did along with 3 yeti dog bowls (another $200) her stuff was nicer than mine of course. Well in the end I Ended up with 2 1L Sidekick Dry Bags , 1 3L Sidekick Dry bag and 1 6L sidekick Dry bag. The bags have velcro on them so I literally just plopped the driver, passenger and big bag in the rear (attached to back seat) on to the carpet. The 1L bag by the rear battery cover is a piece of industrial stick on velcro stuck on to plastic.

The deets .... the small 1L bag was the only one small enough to not be in the way of my leg while driving, mainly for a pair of glasses. The medium 3L bag is on the passenger side trans hump . I do not allow human passengers , 4 legs only so its not in anybody's way over there. The one on the rear seat back in cargo area I'm sure it will fall off if I put anything in it, currently its resting on the Yeti Lowlands blanket in the grey bag. The YETI Camino 35 tote happen to fit so well, chalk another one up for the dog as an overnight tote, big enough for some toys, food, meds, towels etc. The 1L at the back in the cargo area stuck to the wall was just really cause it looked cool and I had a few things I kept going after in the actual little cargo boxes and I kept finding the lids a bit fiddly with the all weather cargo mat in there.

The Overlanding crates were a marketplace find, water proof, latchable and cool tie down spots built in. Front Runner Wolf Pack storage boxes, 4 of them in the back still a bunch of room left. The north face bag is to carry class II 1/10 scale RC crawlers and cheaters.

I thought I was done then the damn advertising algorithms got me and forced me to channel my inner middle aged corvette enthusiast when a blue pair of Gore-tex addidas popped up in facebook for 1/2 off lol.

On the yeti dry packs, I’m interested in sticking them to the footwell also- I see they have Velcro- but did you just fold the straps with the loop side of the Velcro out of the way, or cut them off? Or can they be detached? Thx

Just fold them out of the way they stay on securely

Not to add to fuel to your fire… but the Yeti Loadout boxes are also excellent! I have one in my trunk for essentials. The 30 is short enough that you can pull the cargo cover over top!

I bought the same storage nets but have not installed them yet. Trying to decide where to put them.
I like your location for them.
