Jeff,

Here is an illustration of the JK full console prototype. It is taller with the pad extending forward more than the original. There is a stereo/CB mounting bracket inside with an exterior hole for the Mic, larger drink holders, multiple flat switch mounting surfaces, interior removable tray, interior power outlet, larger storage tray on the automatic models, Pry-Guard II locking system, Larger storage area, Factory colors, and is estimated to be around the price of an 067 maybe a bit more. No heating or cooling system is built in but a handy Jeep owner may be able to rig a thermoelectric (Peltier) cooling/heating device to work. These are available on EBay for relatively cheap but we have not done any testing so far and have no idea if it would actually work on the drink holder. We may pursue that as an option in the future. Also, we have another design where the stereo/CB is in a separate compartment but the large armrest would need to be much smaller and would barely be usable so we opted for the interior mounting bracket instead.



Hopefully this will not reveal to much proprietary design information to any knock-off companies like Smitty****t or IVa**t but it appears they do not have an R&D department anyway and will need to wait till ours is available on the market so they can get one and make a flimsy scaled down copy overseas and try and pass it off as an actual security product.

Here are the drawings:

Vacation's a month away. Jeff, I sure hope I can fit everything in the JK I'm planning on bringing back from your place. Do you prefer cash, check or card?

(other than the 141, divider kits, that is)

and maybe add some good customer service reps to back it up. i had to break into it to get my wallet out while in the middle of the desert driving from california to pennsylvania. The answer i recieved after several phone calls was they'll fix it, but i had to ship it on my dime, and pay for the repairs out of my own pocket.

i'm sorry if i sounds bitter . . . . i am, the box was only 4 months old and i basically threw 300 bucks out the window of the jeep. That left a really bitter taste in my mouth about tuffy. I'm sure they're a great company, maybe i just got a crappy rep. who knows.


on a side note, had a HELLUVA time breaking into the thing. It took about an hour with a crowbar. I just didn't think i should have had to pay to get it fixed when it wasn't my fault i had to break into it!
