I thought that was the location for the JDM OEM condom dispenser.

only 4-door 4Runners where equipped with those; they were mounted on the back of the center consol; easy reach from the back seat

Was it located on the bed or on the hood in the 4wd pickups. A condom dispenser was not deemed necessary on 2wd trucks.

Also, wouldn't a 4-door 4Runner inherently suggest an immanent failure in the condom dispenser system?

Well, if you ran out, you could always grab the Ultra Copper for a little Hi-Temp protection. The most advanced, high temp RTV silicone gasket available. Sensor-safe (her sensor is going to love this), low odor (taste?), noncorrosive (better make damn sure it ain't). Superior adhesion. Three times more oil resistant (hehe) than conventional silicones; eight times more flexible I likethan cut gaskets. Temperature range -75°F to 700°F (-59°C to 371°C) intermittent; resists auto and shop fluids and vibration (so you can really get your kink on).

I had to custom make lil black plastic holders to make it look better. But not anywhere near stock...

What I would really like to figure out how to do though, is hook up my fog (and offroad lights i plan to get) to my ignition or wherever the normal driving lights are hooked up at that makes that beep to remind you to turn them off.

edit--------

Just saw there was a page 2..... I feel stupid. lol.
