i know its an old thread but hey, some of these ideas are handy.
if you take apart your dash you can find TONS of places to put stuff. i hide emergency gas money (usually 20 dollar bills but other stuff could go in them). on my 2nd gen you can pull the small trim piece that surrounds the ignition on the dash and there are 3 clips and a rolled up 20 fits nicely right under the bottom one. you can also fold up a 20 and pull out the ashtray then push down on the top and place it there. same with the ashtray in the back. push down on the tab and pull it out and put the 20 behind it then put it back in. im sure there are some spaces around the sunroof button too.

dont kow if this has been said yet but theres a good spot on 2nd gen runners with power windows and mirrors. where the switch panel is for all that stuff you pop it out, put the ''stuff'' in there put it back on and nobody would notice it unless they were lookin for it.

I'm going to just take the motor out (who needs a rear wiper?) and use it for storage. Not much of a smoker myself, but I could fit a handgun in there or some emergency food rations/cash/first aid/etc.
And who would ever look in there?

Someone already said it but on second gen runners the Jack area is probably one of the best areas for those thongs. Or tape whatever to the back of your taillight. It's only held on with 2 bolts.... My favorite is in my sub box. Hide it right inside the port so it's hidden, just gotta be careful not to play music too loud lol

Multiple pages of absolute humor!!!
Good stuff!
I dont need a stash spot.
I like to have a little fun with officers,especially when Im bored,like on this trip.
I drove from San Fran to Phoenix once and got stopped somewhere around Quartzite in the middle of the night.
I guess I looked suspicious because I hadnt broken any laws but it was really late at night and the vehicle I was driving looked like a POS.
I got pulled over,detained,questioned,and threatened by a rookie officer who didnt know I have a degree in criminal justice.
I KNOW my rights.
I wasnt in any hurry,had all the time in the world but when the officer said he smelled something (he was "fishing" (which is ILLEGAL),it was too windy to smell anything!) my smart mouth dug me in deeper.I told him it was his bad breath blowing back in his face.I was just having a little fun.
Calling him Officer Opie probably didnt help either but it was funny because he looked just like him right down to the high pitched voice and his funny hat!
He wanted to search my vehicle and threatened to call out the dogs if I didnt consent.
I didnt consent and proceeded to spend the next three hours waiting on a k9 unit to show up with the other 4 cars that were allready behind me.
A total of 15 minutes was spent as the pooch sniffed the vehicle,nothing was found because there was nothing to find.
I had fun tying up 6 pissed off officers,and a dog for over 4 hours over nothing at 2am on a windy stormy night in the desert.
Maybe my comment of "staying in the doughnut shop" was what pissed them off??
I wonder if any of them learned anything that night?

The only thing "stashed" in my truck is a pack of smokes in case I run out while up at the farm; the nearest convenience store is not really that close. Not really a stash so much as "emergency smokes when I forget to buy enough to last the weekend."
That said, here in Ontario law enforcement has the option of not just impounding, but seizing your vehicle (as in they take it, and you don't ever get it back, they even do this with houses (well they can't impound a house)) if they find anything illegal during a search. Usually this is meant to target traffickers (or producers/distributors when it comes to houses) but personally, I'd never chance it. I'd rather go sober than lose my truck.
I'm surprised to see a thread like this here, this isn't TCC on SomethingAwful, where people are dumb enough to discuss where they hide their "stuff" in threads perused by many members of various law enforcement bodies, and people wonder why the police know where they hide their stuff.
Of course it IS handy to keep a few 20s hidden in various places for emergencies too, my pop does that with his car, though he usually forgets where he hides the money.

while everything you said is true and there are certain parts i agree with about my own rights...i dont have a problem being courteous to a police officer and not getting all "smart" with him. if i start pulling out the "you do not have a right to search my vehicle" then suddenly hes more suspicious of me and has less reason to be nice with me. he could go as far as to detain me in cuffs. while that certainly wouldnt be legal, that will still waste MORE of my "precious time" to sort that out and prove that he can't do that than if i had just let him search to begin with.
i guess i have more respect for police officers than some people do (i'm not naming anyone at all) and i can spare a few minutes to keep a good relationship with them than to start getting snippy and quoting a lawbook to them, changing the whole situation into a more hostile one

the best place to hide stuff is in plain sight ball it up in a napkin and toss on the floor. or ever heard of the dirty underwear safe? http://cdn.edu-search.com/uploads/UnderwearSafe.jpg
