Tuffy lock box Alternative

[edmonson]

Does anyone know where to find a cheaper alternative to the tuffy lock box that goes inbetween the two front seats? I like the tuffy box but $200.00 + is a little more than I want to spend. Thanks

Where are you located? I have a steel lockbox console which I don't use. I'd give you a deal on it. Shipping may be an issue, as it is heavy.

I saw Quadratek advertising a similar console for about half the money last year just before X-mas. It was made by Smitty-built.

I picked up a similar one on ebay from JeepGuy I think. Its not steel though but does have a decent lock. I think I paid about $70 for it.

Here's a link to a similar one - mine is dark gray and I think its 10" wide.

Good excuse for a trip to wrecking yard. Endless possibilities. Just take your measurements and a ruler and go searching.

I had the ammo box set-up in my 72. After putting the $200 tuffy console in the wifes 66 I decided it was worth the $$. It works great and after you think of your time and effort you are beyond the $200 price. I know it sucks but they are pretty nice to have. You won't regret it.

My tuffy is the whip. Be sure to get the one with the stereo and can holders, they are the perfect height for an arm rest

One of the best investments, My $75 Jeep one broke Save up, or just go with the millitary surplus unit.

Not to jack your thread but what is the preferred size of ammo can? I have some 50 cal and they seem too small.

It's an extra 30 bucks for the stereo version so you are back at $240 or as the original post put it $200+.

I had a similar unit to the jeep one listed above but it was crappy and broke. Plus it offers little real security protection, ie a strong fingernail was all that was needed to pry it open.

There was a mass buy on here a few years ago, if I could get the stereo version shipped to me at sub $200 I would probably do it. But until then or when I can find a suitable alternative, I am also in a holding pattern.
