I used to drive a convertible Scout II. There are times when you want to be able to keep normal things in your car without them getting ripped - say, a book of CDs, sunglasses, or a CD-player face. In the absence of a lockable console, these little stash places can be helpful. The seat pedestals on a Scout are three sided and lots of folks would screw or weld a door on the fourth side, creating a box beneath the seat. My own ghetto version kept the tweakers and hood rats at bay and kept my CDs out of the sun. I assume the 1st Gen 4Runners could do something similar when the tops are off.

**A similar ghetto security system when parking in shady areas is to put your transfer case in Neutral when its parked. Surprisingly, most street criminals aren't familiar with the inner workings of a 4WD system and, even if they get it started, won't be able to drive off**
