I bought one a few years ago after some jerk tried to steal my radio. Don't know about the one for the YJ but the one for my CJ went in easy, secures my sterio and alot of other junk in the main console. I am thinking about getting the tuffy trunk to secure the rest of my jeep stuff.

 

Jeepgod has one. I was liked it's ability to secure AND shelter it from the elements. I don't recall if it had a seal around the "deck" flap, but it wouldn't be hard to DIY.
As a matter of fact, it was so impressive, I'm "lobbying"(begging with my wife) for one for a b'day/anniversary/xmas gift!

 

Love mine. Lots of room and is secure. I have my CD/CB and starter kill all inside.

 

I've had a Tuffy center console for about 3 years now, since someone decided to "borrow" my radio. I doubt that anyone will be able to break into it, and it's got a CD player in it. The only thing I've noticed since having it is to make sure you DON'T SPILL ANY MOUNTAIN DEW on top of it with the lid open. Stereos don't seem to like the caffeine.

It costs about $200, if my memory is correct. I also have the Tuffy glove compartment, but it only comes in black.

I've been thinking of adding some type of kill switch to my Jeep, I'd like to see how you put one inside your console. Any pics? (please)?

I would think you could do many types of kill switches...

which did you do, and what works best?

 

Don't have any pics. Just put a toggle next to the cd player. Check out this post for some info.

Just search do a search. They're are many ways to skin this cat.

Also, courtesy of TR, I've attached a wiring diagram.

 

of course you could save yourself $180 and do the Ammo can thing. Ive got one installed in the CJ and am working on teh one for the chick's YJ. I like the ability to paint it whatever color. you can even buy some vinyl and padding and screw it on top if you wanted a more asthetically pleasing look. Secure, the radio fits in perfectly, and there room for an amp if you want one, as well as the kitchen sink!

 

where did you get yours?

thanks for all the feedback on the Tuffy Consoles. I'll probably end up getting one since in the long run it will save me bucks.

 

On a good note for tuffy, a while back some kids set a guys jeep on fire, and when the fireman were putting it out or examinging it afterwards (not sure on details) but they were trying to open it with an axe and I dont think they got it. Thats a pretty strong console.

 

I ordered mine through 4 Wheel Drive Hardware, phone # is
1(800) 333-5535. Part number for a 1990 Wrangler Tuffy Deluxe Stereo Security Console is 033(specify color). The color codes are 01(Black), 09(Charcoal), and 37(Spice). So if you want the charcoal, your part # would be 033-09. Some drilling is required. They'll probably send you a catalog for Jeeps, also.
Price? $239.95, according to the early Spring catalog.

thanks!

 

the tuffy box is good, but its not like a safe...
a couple weeks ago the lock failed on mine so I got the air hammer out of the back... 2 min and the lock was off.... of course.. I think you might notice a thief with an air hammer at 3 am....

 

I don't have the one for the stereo but I do have the regular Tuffy console and rear lock box. Like was just said, "not a safe" but they are still a real nice unit. I really like both of them.
