I am considering a Tuffy or Bestop lock box for my CCW when driving through places that don't allow me to carry (DC/MD) My question is with the heated seats on, how hot does the box get?

A few reasons
- Polymer pistols - Can deform with heat, but mostly with pressure as well (I know from experience) - shouldn't be an issue
- Kydex Holsters - Will deform with heat
- Ammo - Will have issue with high heat. I don't expect this type of temp range from the heated seats.

Anyone have this combo that can help me out with some generic temp ranges?

 

The heating element is on top of the seat foam. The under seat box will not be warmed. You will have higher temps below the seat on a hot summer day with the windows closed. I dobut the seat warmer goes above 120*. Even if your sitting on a gun with the seat warmer on, nothing should happen.

 

Agreed, you should see no real change in temp. below the seats. Even if the under side got as hot as the top I doubt you would have any issues.

 

Yep, it'll be fine. You will have to remove the bracket that holds the wiring up and then zip tie it out of the way, but the directions explain how to do this.

 

Awesome, thanks for the help guys.
