I read on another thread that it's an inch or so taller.
Search Tuffy to confirm.

It sits about 1 inch higher than the factory armrest. No official measurement until I get home. You have to have the outer shell of the console to bolt the insert to. You don't have to remove the front seats to install, just slide it back or forward to get at the bolts. You do have to drill if you want to use the bolts that hold it to the floor. (Most secure way).

As far as the rep knew, they aren't making a 2 door rear security drawer yet. I need my rear seat sometimes, so I can't put it in. It is a nice solid box though.

that would be nice. I was looking at that locking deal Mopar has for the trunk area for my next purchase. I wonder how much of a PITA it is to remove for when you put the back seat down though

Think it would be great if someone made a steel one that just bolted/screwed in the back area,, ( with the back seats in the up position) so you could stow stuff like golf clubs or stuff about that big and feel semi secured.. Bestop makes an "instatrunk" that works for the Jk 2 door, but not the 4 door.. I believe I am going to one of my buddies and have a peice of steel cut to fit.. Much cheaper than Mopar.. Bestop etc.

I Think I sw the bestop one too... I dont remember.

a box like that would be really nice. I would just lke something other then my glove box to lock since I dont have a console in mine. I dont leave anything of value in my jeep anyways but if I went to the store or something.. just some added security

Well you can get the one that does lock up your extra stowage bin in the back.. for now..

It would be interesting to have someone mod you one of those GI rocket cans to go in place of the puny back stowage spot.. (providing you've already done the muffler mod)

I called Tuffy and suggested that they offer just the housing for their security drawer. They took note of my suggestion.

I'd buy something like that if I could remove it easily from the inside. Seems like that would be simple to do with long bolts
and double nuts on top. I hate to order w/ the drawer when I won't use it. Tuffy can you hear me?

Tuffy is going to make a complete console that will fit in JKs that did not come with a factory console at all. No definite release dates yet, but they are on the list of new products.
