Center console orgainzation

Picked up my F350 XLT DD SWB 6.7 on Saturday. Really surprised as it was built on the 14th, arrived at the dealer on the 18th. They had a local Linex installer pick it up and spray the bed Friday afternoon and was ready for me Saturday morning.
My center console on my 2008 has always been a mess so I was looking for something to help keep the new one organized. Found this little tool bag from HF for $14 (12 tote 62485) that I think will serve the purpose. Lots of slots to keep things handy with room on top for the sliding tray. We will see how well I can keep it organized.
Second photo is of dash board, averaging 18+ mpg as long as I keep my foot out of it. Tough to do with all the power. Still much to discover about the setting and outputs.
Like the way the Sync 3 interacts with my Iphone, glad I did not get the navigation as I can use the phone or my old trusty Garmin. And if anyone was wondering about the functionality of the CHMSL camera; you retain the tailgate camera and can switch between the two with a button above the screen.

Note the rails in the side for hanging folders? I can't keep them organized on my desk. I could really make a mess in the console. FYI in NY a firearm is not considered secure and the owner is liable for any crime committed with a stolen firearm from a vehicle, even when locked. This manner of thinking that a victim is guilty or perpetrating a crime is spreading, hence the auto safe market such as the console vault. Unfortunately it ruins the console for its intended use as a cooler. But at least Susie's purse or a camera or a firearm can be secured without as much concern.

Looks like a Taurus.

Not sure I understand the vaults or in vehicle holsters. My weapon is always on my person.

Can't carry in the Post Office or 101 public buildings in NY. School property is verboten but I push the limit by locking it in the vault when going to pay the taxes. Of course carrying that much money I really should have it with me all the way.

Yep first mod, console safe for the same reasons you gave. Same laws apply here in Nevada. When I leave it in the truck I wanted it to be secure.

So just to make sure I understand you purchased the CHMSL camera option and NOT the ultimate camera package, correct? This is what I want to do but hadn't gotten a clear answer if both cameras exist.

THANKS

I don't have my '17 F250 yet, but I assume my '16 F150 has the same center console. I use a Rubbermaid organizer you can get at Target or Walmart. It is a tight fit so not rattles and I can pull the whole thing out fairly easily if needed.

Yes the chmsl option alone, not the ultimate camera. I figured that I'm not so old or unaware that I needed 7cameras to do the job I've been doing for 40 years. Yet.
