I've got the Tuffy Cargo Drawer for the unlimited and wondered if any of you guys are covering the top with carpet, mats or are just leaving the metal exposed? Any ideals and pics are greatly appreciated,thanks....

 

Looking at getting the same cover. Thinking about covering it with a carpet similar to the one that is in the Jeep. I haven't received my Rubicon yet, but when I do this upgrade, I will post some pics. I would like to see what you decide on.

 

I use this 3'x5' utility mat from Lowe's for the Tuffy security deck. Cost me $10. Fits close enough for me for that cheap!

 

Is this the mat that is made out of recycled material and if so have you had any issues with it such as smell? The reason I ask is the one I am looking at says for outdoor use only and I don't want to stink up my Jeep in the winter when the hard top is on.

 

Yes, I think it's made from recycled materials. I don't notice an odor from it though. I meant to say it's 2' x 3', not 3' x 5'. I still have it sitting there, hasn't blown away yet! It does a good job keeping stuff from sliding around.

 

Cool, thank you for the quick response.

 

I've scratched mine to no end... I'm gonna sand it, prime it and bed line it or coat it with something similar.

 

I found a roll of automotive carpet at Meijers for $10 that I am going to cut to fit the top and glue down. I am not as worried about things sliding around as I am having to listen to it so I think this will work for my needs. I am also going to fill in the area where the sub would go by riveting in some of the metal used for packing. I do plan on adding some sort of tie down anchors for hauling oversized cargo, but have not decided on which ones yet. My final mod is going to be to mount my Maglite flashlight to the filler piece to provide additional light at night.
