Anyone know if these will work with heated seats?? Thinking some of the electrical parts might get in the way??

If you need to see everything in the drawer without reaching to the back, then go with Tuffy but if you are on a budget then go with Bestop.

It's super easy, two screws hold on the small box with the lock inside. Take off the locking plate with a phillips screwdriver and remove the nut that holds the lock on and replace it. I couldn't fit the box back on because the Tuffy twist combo lock is a little longer.

I also don't have an issue with the drawer stopping, it comes out completely.

The tuffy works fine with heated seats. Couldn't be happier with mine.

They work, but I had to remove the bracket for the wiring that is under the seat. The instructions showed how to it, added a couple minutes to the install, but no biggie.

Changing the lock was a breeze. I did it in about 10 minutes with basic tools/sockets and wrench.

Yeah, tuffy all the way. It extends all the way out to the pedals and Dave's post sold me on the storage space.

To the rear support issue- I used front shock rubber isolators and it was great but then adding a couple of bolts to it made it much better.


If tuffy came out with a piece of foam to fit the space like a pelican case then they'd really be bonus. It's nice to put things in there but it would be nice to have things organized in the foam.

I believe you can get a pair of like-keyed locks for around $10 from Lowes or Home Depot, should be 5/8" common cam lock. You can also grab a pair of 16" tool box sliders while there for a couple bucks and viola, full length sliding drawer. Still tons cheaper than Tuffy...

Just to add I had 1 used Bestop box with an unmarked key and then when I bought the other one new, the key for it had a number on it. I called Bestop with that number and they were able to sell me a matching lock for $10 as well.
