Tuffy's JK security trunk adds safe and secure storage to the new Wrangler JK.
It's a fact that automotive theft and vandalism are among the nation's most prevalent crimes. Take your Jeep's top off, and you are welcoming a problem. Tuffy Security Products has just released its new locking rear security trunk (drawer) and security console insert for the Wrangler JK. The trunk and console create an effective crime deterrent and bolster peace of mind. In addition, the trunk essentially doubles the storage space behind the rear seat.
There was no locking storage in 4WD&SU's JK when we picked it up from Detroit last year. We were a little leery of taking the top off and leaving valuable gear inside. It made hiking away from the Jeep a bit unnerving, especially with camera gear in the Jeep. With the Tuffy security console, we feel quite confident locking valuables such as wallets and CDs up front. In the rear, we can now safely secure our camera stuff, trail gear, and tools.
Both the trunk and the console are very easy to install. Each product comes with complete instructions and all hardware for installation. We had both the console and rear security trunk installed in about an hour and a half. The rear trunk didn't require any drilling and was completely bolt-in. The security console required some drilling but was as easily installed as the trunk. Both feature Tuffy's patented Pry-Guard II locking system.
The security console is a great place to stash valuables while out and about. The unit's cushioned pad is far superior in comfort to the factory console. | 
The new console retains all the original trim and looks like a factory component when installed properly. | 
Installation of the security drawer is bolt-in, simple, and straightforward. Even though the drawer comes with printed instructions, Tuffy's website also offers extremely detailed instructions, which we found very convenient. Because of this, we won't go into complete detail with this installation. First, we secured the vertical drawer sides to the drawer enclosure with the supplied hardware. We then removed the forward bottom and top cap nuts that hold the subwoofer to the floor and rollbar. We removed the tailgate's strike-plate bolts (two), installed the drawer's rear left bracket, and replaced the bolts. After this, we loosened and removed the back seat's left and right mounting nuts. |
