TUFFY SECURITY PRODUCTS TO EXHIBIT AT OVERLAND EXPO WEST 2019

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CORTEZ, Colo. – Tuffy Security Products will be exhibiting at the 10th annual Overland Expo West in Flagstaff, Arizona on May 17-19, 2019. The company will feature their Tuffy 2019 RAM truck equipped with the company’s RAM Console Safe (Model 354), RAM Rear Underseat Lockbox (Model 353) and multiple drawer units in the truck bed (Model 167). Additional products of specific interest to the overlanding crowd will also be displayed, and representatives for the company will be on-site to explain to overlanding enthusiasts the benefits of using Tuffy lockboxes.

Overlanders bring important valuables with them when on their excursions, including identification and insurance paperwork, money and electronics such as GPS units, cell phones, tablets or laptops. Protecting those items from theft is a vital aspect of overlanding, and Tuffy Security Products offers a wide variety of security options. From tablet, laptop and portable safes to vehicle-specific products which are installed under the rear seats, in the center consoles or even in the glovebox, Tuffy has the overlanding community protected with their American-made security options.

“The overlanding community is a very important market to Tuffy Security Products, so exhibiting at Overland Expo West makes sense to us. We’re excited to share the latest products we have available for overlanders to help them best protect their valuables,” said Chip Olson, marketing director for Tuffy Security Products. “Eric Kuhlman, our Sales Director, is looking forward to meeting overlanders at the event and showing them the latest Tuffy products.”

Overland Expo began in 2009 when Roseann and Jonathan Hanson, who both serve as Director Emeritus of Overland Expo, decided to inspire people to get out exploring while providing expert instruction in driving and riding. In addition, the expo is meant to serve as North America’s largest professional trade show for overlanders. In 2018, the Hansons sold Overland Expo to Lodestone Events, a company which specializes in professional event production.

TUFFY RELEASES TWO NEW SECURITY OPTIONS FOR JEEP® JL

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CORTEZ, Colo. – Tuffy Security Products has released two brand new products specifically designed for the 2018 Jeep® Wrangler JL: the 345 Security Deck Enclosure and the 348 Security Console Safe. Both products incorporate Tuffy’s tried and tested security engineering to protect JL customers from becoming victims of theft when away from the vehicle.

Tuffy’s patent-pending Security Security Console Insert fits both two and four-door JL models and requires no drilling to install. The console insert keeps the lid open while accessing the contents because of its exclusive lid support yet is fully hidden when the lid is closed. Crafted from welded 16-gauge steel, the insert features Tuffy’s patented Pry-Guard locking system which utilizes a 10 tumbler double bitted lock with built-in weather seals and a convenient finger pull to open the box. The powder-coated insert maintains the use of the factory armrest, interior tray, optional light and lid, making it an innovative security product that allows users to not lose any storage room.

With more than 20,000 cubic inches of storage, Tuffy’s Security Deck Enclosure is specifically produced to fit into the rear of the Jeep JL and provides a large lockable area using the company’s patented security system. Working in conjunction with the vehicle’s rear door, the Security Deck Enclosure closes off the open rear of the Jeep to protect contents from all sides, creating a secure trunk area. Power lock switches on the tailgate become disabled 16 seconds after locking the doors with the key fob to ensure the area is protected. The 16-gauge steel weight-bearing enclosure can support items placed on top of it and is easily lifted and removed without tools. In addition, the welded steel lid hinges open and can be held up using the attached support rod. Security Deck Enclosures include built-in weather seals and are fastened to the vehicle without drilling using heavy duty fasteners.

“All of us at Tuffy are definitely proud to bring these innovative Jeep JL security products to the marketplace,” said Chip Olson, marketing director for Tuffy Security Products.  “Our company was actually founded after the president’s Jeep was broken into, so we’re pretty passionate about offering security solutions to help Jeep owners protect their valuables.  We actually offer products going all the way back to 1954 Jeep CJ-5 models, so Jeepers have come to rely on Tuffy Security over the years.”

Tuffy Security Products has both items available on its website: www.tuffyproducts.com.
