Hardware That Completes The Install
A mounting kit supplies the brackets and hardware that anchor a Tuffy product inside your vehicle. It turns a console safe, security drawer, or accessory into a secure, correctly seated install. These kits suit drivers retrofitting a Tuffy product into a specific platform, including classic and hard-to-fit vehicles.
You need a mounting kit when you are adding a Tuffy console or security drawer to a vehicle that needs specific brackets. The kit does the fitment work so the product mounts where it should.
The category covers a few kit types. Center console mounting kits pair a[ Tuffy console](https://tuffyproducts.com/products/categories/consoles/) to platforms like the Ford Bronco, Toyota FJ-40, and Land Rover Defender.[ Tuffy security drawer](https://tuffyproducts.com/products/categories/drawers/) mounting kits fit drawers to Jeep applications (Part 130) and to Ford and Jeep applications (Part 167).
Beyond storage hardware, the category includes a few accessory kits. The[ gas strut kit](https://tuffyproducts.com/products/gas-strut-kit-for-consoles-fits-tuffy-console-with-standard-hinging-configuration/) uses a Number 40-rated gas strut to hold a console lid open, with snap-on ends and a bolt-on steel mounting bracket.
Buying Considerations
Fitment comes first. Most kits are engineered for a specific make, model, and year range, so confirm your exact vehicle before ordering. Use the vehicle selector to match your year, make, and model.
Match the kit to both your vehicle and your Tuffy product. A center console mounting kit locates a Tuffy Series II or Deluxe Stereo console. A Part 130 or Part 167 drawer mounting kit is sized for a Tuffy security drawer.
Each kit includes the brackets and mounting hardware to seat the product correctly. The Land Rover Defender kit, for example, ships with two steel spacer brackets, a durable finish, and hardware to mount through the floor.
Install method varies by kit, so check the product page for your vehicle. Some kits are no-drill: the Toyota FJ-40 1973-1978 console kit and the Jeep Wrangler TJ 2003-2006 drawer kit reuse OEM bolts and provided hardware. Others, such as the Jeep CJ drawer kit, secure through the floor.
Fitment also ranges from vehicle-specific to universal. The gas strut kit and the Part 167 universal drawer kit fit across applications, while the console and drawer kits are keyed to specific platforms. Most installs need only basic hand tools.
Why Tuffy
Tuffy builds mounting hardware from heavy-duty cold-rolled welded steel, so the brackets hold as hard as the product they carry. Each kit is engineered to seat a Tuffy console, security drawer, or accessory cleanly, for an install that looks like it belongs in the vehicle.
That fit matters most on classic and specific platforms, from the early Ford Bronco and Toyota FJ-40 to the Jeep CJ and Wrangler. The right kit means you install the correct brackets instead of fabricating your own.
Tuffy has built secure vehicle storage since 1989 and backs it with a Built-for-Life warranty against defects in material and workmanship. The kit that matches your vehicle and your Tuffy product completes the install right the first time.
