I have the Tuffy with combo lock - works great. Added foam liner which helps. They should really come with a nice rubber liner, though. Only complaints is the combo lock - hard to see the numbers when you stick your head in there because its too close to focus my eyes. Also the drawer really needs rear support so as not to vibrate the contents up and down over bumps. I put some large rubber isolators (they look like big versions of the Jeep hood knobs for the folding windshield) underneath the back which helps. There is an option to make it more secure from theft by removing the seat entirely and installing the rear bolt thing they include - I should have done this just for the support factor. But overall this is a super product and a must-have for running topless or having a soft top.

I have trouble with the lock on the bestop. It can be hard to work. Other than the I look I'm happy with it and use it a lot.

I have the bestop. Much cheaper than the tuffy. Could have a better lock but I'm happy with it. Get the job done just fine.

I have a Besttop and it works like a champ. I replaced the keys with a Tuffy combo lock and now it's even better.

Default Tuffy

I have the Tuffy. I got it before Bestop came out with theirs. I can fit my XD9 plus my S&W 38 revolver plus 2 speed loaders plus 2 magazines. I doubt if all that would fit in the Bestop.

Tuffy here.

I compared it against the Bestop and it can fit more stuff inside and also felt sturdier.

That's good to know, I was wondering how hard it would be to change the lock out but had been too lazy to look.
