The tabs don't really stick up, but they could snag a box or something, especially if you have removed the carpet in the cargo area.

armycop - Great job, excellent detail and awesome pics!!! Thanks!
I am considering this as well and have a couple of questions- hope you don't mind.
1) I installed a Tuffy Security Insert into my console and found quite a few "fit and finish" issues with mine and spent well over an hour trimming plastic, exchanging screws and making the insert fit. Overall, I am happy with my insert, but the quality control from Tuffy made the install much tougher than necessary - - - Any such issues with your install? It looks like it went very well.
2) How hard/easy is the top to get on and off in the event you need more cargo space?
3) Any change in subwoofer performance with it being enclosed in a metal box?
4) I love the recessed tray on top, but curious if there are any anchor points to aid in restraining any small cargo on top.
Thanks again for the great post!

2. The decklid piece just slides toward the back of the Jeep with the tailgate open, lift the rear and push toward the front of the Jeep to remove. Takes a few seconds. The 4 thumbscrews can be removed in a couple minutes to remove the front piece that is against the seatbacks. It would only take about 2-3 minutes to fold down the seats and remove the top and front of the enclosure.
3. Haven't tested the subwoofer/stereo performance yet.
4. Ditto on what Robar said. You would have to find a tie down system.

1. No problems with the fit/finish and no mods necessary besides bending out the corner of the deck from minor shipping bend.

One of the rubber pieces that go over the screw holes on the deck part ripped already... I'm wondering if I did something wrong? The piece of stripping there is under the place where it slides-- but I think it ripped by making contact with the top part of the retainer? Anyways, I might need to order some extra ones.
On a side note, for the 4-door, if you fold the rear seats flat and sit back there, the deck makes a great table to eat on or use your laptop-- I'm posting from there right now.
