Under the Center Console
I wasn't sure where to post this one, but since this'll be useful to people installing the Tuffy Center Console, I figured this would be a good place. :-) Anyway, here's what it looks like under the center console. As others have mentioned, your better off replacing the two long bolts from the kit, with some that are 1" shorter, and don't drill through the body. Instead, you can drill through the plate the console rests on. There's enough space underneath to pass a hand, a nut, and a wrench. So, here's what it looks like under the center console:

How solid is that plate that the consol rests on?? I think the whole point of the through the floor mount is to provide a better anchor in case someone wants to yank it out.......Looks good though. I know I liked the top of my tuffy consol compared to the original in my TJ......nice and soft on the elbow.

And yeah, the armrest is a _ton_ more comfortable.

Just looking at that pic and the two cables going back … look like they are the parking brake lines and that they run separate from there to each rear wheel... thus shouldn’t be hard to modify them as independently operable thus giving you “cutting brakes”
