Default Tuffy security deck + MPAC?

I REALLY want both of these products but am concerned whether or not they will play nicely together. I am worried that the MPAC Rack may be mounted too high and interfere with the closing of the tailgate against the security deck. Can someone confirm/deny this statement? . . . Does the security deck sit any lower than the soft top bar when closed? Thanks

Dan

when the tailgate is closed, the security deck just tucks under the lip of the tailgate and this prevents it from being opened. needless to say, it does not dip down too low at all and i would think that an mpac will work with it just fine.

Default Nice!

Tuffy didn't have this out when I bought my bestop flexatrunk. I have modified my flexatrunk to work, but it isn't built solid like tuffy products. ANyone have the tuffy trunk and want to share thoughts and photos?

WOL is correct. I have both on my JKU with no problems at all. No pictures though, unless you want to wait until I get back from Iraq
