Great addition for a Jeep
"The lid is easy to install and will provide a larger secured area vs a jeep console safe. I like that this is basically hidden under a cargo mat. I’ve had a vehicle broken into for a smash and grab. For these instances I feel this is a great addition. However it’s not foolproof. If there was a longer latch or with locking mechanisms near each end it could be more secure from anyone trying to pry it open. Nevertheless I really like it.
The replacement carpet that comes with it should be upgraded to something thicker so the cargo floor is even with the top of the lid. I cut my original cover to fit the gap instead of using the accompanying carpet.
Lastly, I did cut my tray to fit and reinstalled it. It made no sense not to try that. My cut wasn’t perfect but it looks better than completely leaving it removed."

Jeep 392
"The product is great quality, and the install was simple. Thank being said; I have a jeep 392, and the exhaust system is different than a standard JL. This dramatically impacted the storage cubby and space available. Great product, but I would not recommend if you have a 392, unless you run with the top and door off a lot, and want another glove box sized cubby to be lockable."

Great Security Product _ Easier Than You Think
"Generally speaking, the Tuffy In-Floor Locking Cargo Lid installs as annotated. However, there are a couple of items that you might want to keep in mind for variations of the installation.
1- If you have the Jeep cargo tie-down system installed, you should consider removing the rails on both sides. While the cargo lid can be installed if you do not remove them, it will make the process a bit easier.
2- A major comment is that the ‘replacement’ rug which replaces the upper portion of the original cargo rug, leaves an appearance that is cheap and does not look good. A workaround in this area is to cut/separate the two main portions of the cargo rug. Take the smaller section and cut it to a width of 11” using a drywall knife or small saw. Be sure to measure the width from the ‘curved’ edge. You will need to remove the smaller plastic tabs on the ‘cut’ end. Measure approximately 5 inches from the cut end and draw a line from one side to the other. Duplicate this measure on the rug that comes with the cargo lid. Once you have your lines, carefully apply a layer of spray adhesive to both pieces. Once the adhesive has set, turn over the carpet that came with the cargo lid and align the edges with the line you have drawn on the modified cargo rug. Using either your hand or any other flat surface, apply pressure to both pieces to ensure a good fit.
3- At this time, flip the entire component over, apply spray adhesive to both pieces, fold the smaller rug over the edge, smooth it over, and pull it as tight as possible. You don’t have to over-stretch this. The material will lay nicely. Again, using your hand or other flat instrument, smooth out the material. At this point, the plastic tabs can be reattached, but it is not necessary.
4- At this point, you can lay the newly carpeted piece in place behind the Tuffy cargo lid. If you have reinstalled the smaller plastic tabs, if you have not tightened down the cargo lid, you can slide the tab under the Tuffy frame and then tighten it down. If you have problems with the carpeted piece sliding out, you can trim off the extended tab off and simply lay the cargo rug in place. At this time, if you have removed the Jeep cargo tie-down system, you can reinstall the rails. At this time, if you do not have a bolt tray that you will be re-installing, you can tighten down the Tuffy cargo lid.
5- The original Tuffy lid instructions suggest that you cannot use the original bolt tray at the back of the cargo area. This can still be used by the following process.
a. Using either a drywall knife or Dremel, lay the bolt tray in is original position.
b. Using a pencil or silver-colored Sharpie, mark where the edges of the locking plate, line up with the bolt tray. Allow about ¼ inch on each side. Additionally, measure how far the bolt tray overlaps. Your final measurement for cutting should be approximately 9.5 inches x ¾ inch.
c. In order to slide the bolt tray in, you might need to trim a smaller piece ( ¾ x ½ inch) from the right side. This will allow you to line up the pins on the bolt tray. If you have not tightened down the Tuffy cargo lid you should be able to slide the bolt tray underneath the frame. You can now tighten down the Tuffy cargo lid.
6- At this time your Tuffy cargo lid is ready to close and secure, either with the key or combination lock. For additional security or cargo safety, you can put either a cargo mat or cargo rug over the top of the Tuffy cargo lid."
