Price: $105.00 Pros: Very heavy duty and looks very secure. Cons: A bit on the small side. Installation could be better. Recommended? Yes
Comments: I installed the YJ tuffy glove box today. First off, getting the original jeep glove box off was a pain. The tuffy instructions stated that there could be four screws, instead of nuts, attaching the original box from the back. Sure enough, mine had screws - very tight space to fit even a stubby screwdriver and get enough leverage/pressure to remove the screws - but I did it. Install wasn't a lot easier - getting the two metal brackets that hold the box in (where the screws came out) to line up right so the bolt holes in the box would match was a real pain. I still don't entirely like the way it fit but it's pretty good. May mess with it a bit more later when I regain my patience and have time. Might just do away with the two brackets and bolt it in from the bottom. Overall, though, this is a great product.

Price: $160.00 Pros: Very strong Cons: Passengers hit their knees on the handle, but are learning to avoid it Recommended? Yes
Comments: Replaced my joke stock glove box with this, and am very happy. When I took it out of the box, I could instantly tell I'd made a good buy by the sheer weight of the thing, it's got to be 25lbs if not more! It was very simple to install, simply need to unbolt the original box, then bolt this new one in (after drilling 2 holes iirc). My original glove box could be opened extremely easy just by tugging on it, to the point where my passengers argued with me at times to tell me it wasn't locked. Now that I have the tuffy glove box in there, there's no doubt in my mind that everything I leave in there is secure against everything.

Price: $154.00 Pros: I think you's need a shotgun to get into this thing! Cons: Wouldn't latch until a friend used his crow bar to bend the receiving pin forward. Works perfectly now! Recommended? Yes
Comments: The install went really well. Couldn't get my drill into the space to add the two new holes, but I figure 8 screws into the dashboard frame should be enough. Got it all installed and it wouldn't close! I sat in the passenger seat and pushed with my feet on it and nothing. I later found out that I needed to bend the receiving pin forward for the latch to catch, that was it! Works like a charm now!

Recommended? Yes
Comments: Pleased Overall. Looks very stylish and clears up some leg room for the passenger seat. Provides a study handle. Installation was a tight fit and the left hand side plate doesn't line up exactly with the line of the center gauge pod panel. Safe appears to be solid. Sometimes appears to be locked when isn't so be careful to check that it's locked.

Tuffy Secure Glove Box Safe
Price: $140.00 Pros: Powdercoat is good looking, fits well. Cons: Small interior. Recommended? Yes
Comments: This is a great piece. Gives a sense of security, although it's pretty small. Plenty big enough to hold your stereo faceplate, registration, cell phone, etc. when you need to run nto the store for a minute.
Sturdy, and it moves the grab handle location up a little higher...no more passengers banging their knees into the stock handle.
Installation is pretty straightforward. Removal of the stock box is a fun adventure, and final fitment of the new box's mounting screws took some wiggling. Be patient, and look for places that it could be catching. It took me 20 minutes before realizing that the left side was catching on the instrument cluster's mounting tab. A little wiggle, and it fit right up.

Price: $114.00 Recommended? Yes
Comments: Pulled the whole dash out make removal of factory glove box easier. Tuffy's instructions could be a little clearer, the washers for the mounting brakets needed to be *behind* the brackets to get the holes for the glove box itself to line up with the holes in the brackets. Otherwise, nice product, very solid feel, and great addition to my Jeep for secure storage.

Tuffy Secure Glove Box Safe
Pros: take a while to break into, nice handle Cons: small Recommended? Yes
Comments: I have one in my YJ, it looks nice compared to the stick glove box. It isn't very big, due to the huge lock on the inside, but its an overall good design, looks nice, especially with the gray interior, and I was able to order a matching lock to go with my tuffy consol, tuffy even made me fax them a copy of my key to make sure i wasn't trying to get the key to someone elses console, which makes me feel really good about the security the company provides
