Driving with a gun? Hidden vault concealing guns and money is hot-selling accessory for pickups, SUVs

Mark Tuttle of Grandville loves removing the doors and top from his 2016 Jeep Wrangler and heading into the woods of Michigan for a weekend of hammock camping. It used to be, when he stopped at a gas station to grab a Payday candy bar, he would leave his belongings exposed.

"My vehicle is accessible to anybody who walks by," he said. "Anybody (who) wants to can walk up and take anything. Most of the time that's not a problem, but I'm not going to leave my wallet or phone or a handgun accessible."

He started looking for more "secure" storage and made a discovery: a hidden 12-gauge cold-rolled plate steel safe that's bolted inside the center console between his two front seats. The secret hiding place is designed to protect money, phones, credit cards, handguns or anything of value.
