Thumbs up

Some of these have already been asked for, but here is my wish list:
- raised lid for more comfortable armrest height - padded of course

- above would increase volume of storage compartment (plus)

- keep minimum 2 cupholders for front and provision for 2 in rear
- 12v inside the compartment to charge cellphones, gps, etc

- lockable radio/CB mounting provision like some of your other consoles - this is the best feature of your consoles!! i'd like to put a high $$ deck in my jeep, but am afraid it will be stolen.

- some type of depression or tray on top for keeping cell phone - or maybe rubber non-slip mat on upper surface.

- provisions to mount auxiliary switches (lights, winch, etc) - like plugged holes near front edge? or just a good surface/location we can drill our own.

- mesh / net style pockets to hold maps, cards, etc (maybe in side compartment and/or on the side or rear faces of the console).

- look at rubberized coatings - soft bedliner material so it has a durable finish yet not so hard and adds some sound deadening.

- feel free to extend or angle the front of it up and eliminate that lower cover on the i/p (just below the HVAC controls). if you can get some usable space for a compartment or switch mounting, that would be a good use of that wasted space.

That is all i can think of at this time. Thanks for asking the customer!

Like most of the other posts. A little taller, a little longer. Better padding is a must. I was a little disapointed once I got my Tuffy console. The padding is so soft my elbow smashes it down and rests on the edge of the metal. I will probably get it reupolstered when I have the cash which kinda sucks because that is the main reason I bought it. The lock is awesome, but I think it needs to come with a BIGGER key! jk.

Also, I had to retap a couple of holes. Not a big deal. But definatley a QC issue.

Also, no cup holders or anything for the rear would be my preferance on a 2dr model. Or make it to where its modular. I'd rather put a plate for electrical inverter or something else there. I plan on tossing my rear seat so no need for cup holders.

Bottom line is I want it as secure and plain (on the inside) as possible. On the outside, color match and higher/better armrest would be perfect. That's my 2cents.
These are almost exactly my thoughts. I thought it was supposed to be a security console. I'd like it to be secure, strong and taller and with a padded armrest. Matching colors are a bonus. Armrest material wise, if I don't like it I can re-do it. A hole for the rear switches and rear cup holders would be nice.

Might want to put some protection around the rear window switches for the power windows so they don't get kicked, smashed, smooshed, etc.

Same here or worst case, put a mount to hold the mic for the CB. Also how about some inserts to the storage area so you can organize it a little?

Hey, Tuffy2, Any updates as to the progress being made? I know it hasn't been all that long at all, but I want it NOW! (Assuming it's not a million dollars, with all these suggestions!)
