Tuffy Console

67ster · Dec 12, 2003

I plan on getting a Tuffy in the very near future . I couldn't find a length measurement athough I found that an 8" wide would work for me . Ads say they have a large storage compartment plus a place to mount a radio or CB . Does anyone have any measurements or Pics ? Thanks in advance !

I am looking at getting one as well, however with the jbg 3 pt. seat belts i don't know if i could fit it

i think other people have expressed interest in getting one, maybe a mass buy could be in order?

I think they did a mass buy a few months back . I too have 3 point belts with the hard covers in the center , I had to make a mount that spanned the factory seat belt holes and picked up two of the bulkhead holes , I left the mounting tabs about 9" apart so an 8" console would fit. I am concerned about the length .

I got the 8" Tuffy console and it sits fine between my Toyota Tercel front seats. I also use a 3 point belt up front. Here's a pic:

Most can fit the 8" Tuffy, but those with custom seats (Beards, etc.) should double check. I ended up needing a 6.5" which fits just fine (no stereo though).

The length is fine, even with the long throw shifter on a NP-435. Tuffy's site has the dimensions listed:

Yes, we did have a mass buy and Ben Saunders (http://www.hbs-performance-offroad.com) got us a great deal on these. But it was quite a while back so maybe there's enough interest in another buy?

tuffy is cool and all but suck ballz for the fact of how much they are charging for a simple design console. i have been looking at this one cool one form jc whitney. eventhough it is for a jeep it still will fit and looks nicer in my opion, and alot cheaper.

hope this helps out.

I used to have that console and it was OK, but didn't last long. It's all plastic and particle board w/ fabric covering. The Tuffy is all steel.

As with anything you get what you pay for.

Have you ever seen a Tuffy in real life. The quality of the Tuffy is unsurpassed in the market place. The console in the link shouldn’t even be compared to the Tuffy. I have seen Tuffy knock offs from oversees. I mean dead on copies of the first gen. Tuffy stereo console. I could instantly see and feel the quality difference. I look at it as spending my money one time on the good stuff.

I have Corbeau Baja seats and it fits fine. I still have stock lap belts.. I had a steelhorse console you can buy for 80 bucks at a local truck supply store. Thought it was real nice. Compared to the Tuffy it's "chit"... The tuffy can hold a TON of stuff too. Comes in handy when you can't "quickly" put the top up!

... just another person interested in a mass buy.

I would definitely be interested in a mass buy as well. My only concern would be the 3-point seat belts I have from Tom's. Is there a bracket or something for these consoles to fit over the hard cover for the seat belts? I also have exaclty 8 inches inbetween my Recaros. Does anyone know if this would cause a problem since the console would be pushing up against the sides of the seats.

I'm in on mass buy. My ammo box ain't cuttin' it anymore.

BroncGuy7710 · Dec 13, 2003

mass buy, i am in,

66roadhorse · Dec 13, 2003

I'd be in on a mass buy also.

red76 · Dec 13, 2003

Definitely one of my better investments in my opinion. The 8in fits well but my 3pt belts had to be moved a little bit over to make room for it. I know my stereo is safe plus I get the locking storage cup holders etc. Now I'm actually in the market for their super storage box for the back.

67ster · Dec 13, 2003

I'm also interested in the mass buy if we can get enough people . Thank for all the info .

Ben,
I think you should start another mass buy with the Tuffy products like you did the last time. It was a great deal.

If you do it again. I'm in for another box. It just feels too weird when I drive my other 77 and there is no place to rest my arm.

tx1ton · Dec 14, 2003

Depending on the price I'm in too - I have a friend of a friend who thinks he can get me one for $150. If that pans out it's an incredible deal but I have my doubts...so I am interested in the Mass buy...consider me a definite "maybe"...

jwh · Dec 14, 2003

I'm a definite maybe for a mass buy as well. Depends on price and time frame.
