Every Bronco NEEDS this …
Tuffy Tailgate Table

What is up weekenders I’m Corbin. We’re overhauling my trunk. My trunk hasn’t really gotten a lot of attention. You can tell I just kind of throw stuff in here. I literally just have a mat, cover and that’s about it. I want to redo it and luckily my friends over at Tuffy have some solutions for that.

Today, we’re actually going to tackle the tailgate. We’re going to put a tailgate table there. I think I need a table. I do a lot of camping and repairs Off-road, so, I think a little table would be kind of rad. We’re going to check out the Tuffy tailgate table and get that guy installed. Let’s tackle this.

Unboxing

Here’s everything that comes with the kit. It’s pretty self-explanatory. It comes with very detailed instructions, a little top frame, the actual frame for the table the table itself, a bunch of hardware, a drill bit because this is going to require you to drill into your body so it is a little bit permanent. They do provide the drill bit you are going to need a drill and an allen key for some of these bolts. Then they provide all the little rubber washers and everything that you’re going to need.

Installation

Get these panels on and actually drill some holes so that we can get those rib nuts going. The table’s rated for 25 lbs. which seems like it could be pretty good. That’s enough for you know any kind of grill or tools that you want to put on here camping and stuff. I think it’s pretty good. It seems pretty quality and does have holes in it for Molle, so when it’s actually closed you could have Molle bags and whatnot attached to it. Pretty decent little quality clamps which is nice to see.

Anyways, let’s get these panels on. We’re going to pull off the panel so you’re just going to want to pull it from the bottom and there’s actually full tabs. It’s kind of violent but yeah you pull from the bottom. It kind of lifts out. It has these tabs I’ve already broken a bunch , so don’t do that! Pull it from the bottom. Once you have this plastic piece off you’re actually going to grab some of these rubber grommets or bushings whatever you want to call them, that come with a kit and you’re going to go ahead you’re going to put them into the top four slots. You’re actually going to have them facing the top of the holes and then these bigger ones are going to go on these larger slit or openings down at the bottom. Those are going to go on the bottom of the hole.

Once you have those little rubber bushings on there you’re going to grab this top piece and you see it actually has some tabs. Those tabs are just going to slide into those holes up top. It should just fit in. A nice snug fit nice very nice. Then you’re going to go ahead and grab the outer frame. The outer frame does have more hooks at the bottom. Those are going to go in the larger holes on the bottom. It does have one side that’s not attached. Don’t worry about that, that’s how it’s supposed to be. One side has a rivet and this will get bolted down after the fact but we’re going to go ahead you’re just going to slide this in and get it lined up with the top bracket.

You’ll see that there are some holes along here that it’s going to line up with this bracket, with the two brackets that’s actually going to bolt together along with two holes out here on the side. You’re going to go ahead and find the three screws that are going to go up top here. Then you’ll have two that will go on either side with the nut.

Okay, now that this is loosely put on with the hardware just kind of sitting in there you don’t need to go ahead and fully tighten it down ‘cuz we’re actually going to be taking this apart. You’re going to go ahead and we’re actually just going to go ahead and mark the holes now. Make sure that all these brackets line up and then you’re going to want want to find the four holes in the corners. Mark those holes on your body. You can use a Sharpie.

So, This Is The Moment of Truth.

Go ahead and drill this guy up. It does come with a drill stop. If you want, you can go ahead put the drill stop on here, so you don’t actually go through and hit your body. I’m going to go ahead and tighten this guy down on the drill bit and then we’ll just drill out these holes that we just marked. Okay then, you’re going to go ahead and locate the riv nuts. They also give you a little bit of grease to put on them because you are just going to kind of have to tap them in there slightly. They are kind of interference fit and then once you have it on the rivnut actually inside the Bronco tailgate you’ll take this little tool and kind of put it over the rib nut and then you’re going to go ahead and tighten down the screw with your Allen key. You’re going to do that until it’s nice and snug and doesn’t spin anymore.

You do not want to over tighten it ‘cuz it will spin and then it will be loose. So, it’s kind of finding that fine tuned spot for these.  All right, now we’re going to go ahead and start temporarily putting this stuff back in place. You can go ahead and put it in place but don’t fully start putting it together yet because we’re going to have to start putting some plastic washers and lock washers in certain areas. I went ahead and installed the three screws up top and the two screws and nuts on the side of the brackets because they do not require washers and it will hold it all in place from here on out.

You need to add some washers and it needs two of the black washers on the top two bolts that go into the riv nuts and then it’s going to use a lock ring on the outside to hold it all together. For the bottom set of bolts you’re going to use just one of the black washers in a lock ring except for the side that was loose, if you remember, I said that this side was loose you’re actually going to want to go ahead and you’re going to throw in the white washer in between the two parts so in between the loose part and the actual frame itself.

You will still put a washer on the back and a lock ring on the front but you will just include the little white washer. You’ll have two other white washers but those will be saved for the actual table once we install that. Okay, so now before you install this last bolt that goes into the rib nuts you’re actually going to want to install the table. That’s why it is detached so that it can flex out a little bit so that you can actually put the table in. You’ll notice these holes on the side of the table, you’re just going to go ahead put one of these washers on the little tab and you’re going on either side and then go ahead and slide the table on. You can take the little string for the table and hook it up into its respective hook. Once it’s on then we’ll go ahead and finish installing that last bolt.

All right, there is the Tuffy tailgate table for your 6th gen Bronco. I think it’s a nice table. It’s a quality build. It doesn’t rattle. I’ve been using it for the last few days and out here Off-road. It’s useful. You can put anything that you need on it. I’ve been using it to put like camping stuff and tools on top of and it’s a sweet little table. There you go, simple install, useful tool.

Convenience Is Key
Tuffy Cargo Security Drawer

Addressing the back end of the Bronco, this is the Tuffy Products drawer system. I’ve been needing something in the back of my Bronco to store like tools, spare parts like CV axles and whatnot so this is going to be a really nice thing to have in the back of the Bronco so stuff just isn’t flying around. I want to show you guys how this is installed and then I’ll give you guys my thoughts.

First step is we’re going to have to unbox it. The box is pretty big, it’s pretty heavy so let’s jump in the unboxing. So, we have the drawer system all taken out here and it comes pretty well put together with all the hardware and instructions inside of it. Locate all your hardware and keys to open it. It has a bar underneath just for shipping so we’re going to go ahead and take that off.

So, now we’re in the back of the Bronco. Looking at the nice detailed instructions we’re going to have to go ahead and take apart these Factory hooks that are in your trunk. It’s pretty simple to do you just kind of unhook the plastic and then we are going to unbolt these hooks. Once you have the hooks out, we’re just going to do that for all four corners.

Once you have all the factory hooks taken out of these spots, you’re going to go ahead and we’re going to screw the standoffs in. Doesn’t matter which way they go they’re the same on both sides. You do have to pay attention to which orientation they’re going to be in or which hole they’re going to be in so for the ones that are closest to the trunk you’re going to want have them facing forward and then in the rear you’re going to want to have them facing towards the trunk. You want both standoffs to be facing in board of the trunk and you’re only going to put one in each corner.

Now that you got the standoffs in we’re going to go ahead back to the drawer open it up. We’re going to take this drawer out so that we can get access to the bolts. To take it out you’re going to want to go ahead and push the release arms on both slides as you pull out and the drawer should just slide out.

Now that you have the drawer out, carefully pick it up and place it into the back of the Bronco. Then we’ll go ahead and try to line up these standoffs. Once you have the drawer system actually on top of the standoffs it’s kind of hard to see but the standoffs will go through holes up underneath the drawer system in all four corners. Take the nut and washer that come with them and you’re going to layer them up, install them and tighten them down. I promise, the standoff is sticking up underneath there and it’s going to be like that way in all four corners. The far ones you’re going to reach back up in there. Go ahead and tighten these up.

Next Step. You’re going to reuse the hooks that you took out of the floor of your trunk. The drawer has these nice spots right over here for them to be put back in with these screws. Go ahead and screw these guys into place. This way we have a nice place to tie stuff down with. Careful, don’t overtighten.

You can still get access to your under drawer storage, so if you ever wanted to you could just take the drawer out throw it on top or onto the ground and you can actually still get up underneath there and get to all your stuff that you want to have under there. It is going to be a little bit more difficult to get to it so I would only put stuff that you’re not going to use on a daily basis, like emergency stuff.

Go ahead and throw the drawer in and we’ll be done. Once the drawer is in it does take a little bit of finagling here with the side hinges you you do kind of need to finagle one side in and then the other side it might take two people to actually do it. Ours is a little tight uh but I think it should work out in the future. Maybe I just need to loosen up the bolts but it does work.

It does actually have here on the inside these nice dividers so you have a bunch of compartments that you could use for whatever you need. These ones actually bolted in over here which is nice. If you want to take them out, you just unbolt them. The drawer is felt lined on the bottom and seems pretty solid.

I’m going to load it up with a bunch of stuff and we should be good to go. All right, there we go. Pretty simple install for the Tuffy drawer system for the sixth gen Broncos. I think it’s pretty awesome I’ve been using it for a few days now. I’ve been cramming a bunch of stuff in it and it’s it’s working well. I mean you’re going to be able to put spare parts in there, tools, pretty much anything extra that you don’t want floating around. I used to just have a bunch of stuff floating around so it’s pretty nice to have somewhere to put it.

I have taken out the center slots and I’m just using three sections cuz I think that’s really all I need. I actually went ahead and put a little foam in there too, just to dampen any noise of loose stuff rattling around. You know I got some camera gear and whatnot in here. You don’t have to go ahead and put foam in here. It’s a really quiet system. Honestly, before that I just went ahead and did it more or less just to protect the metal and the coating a little bit. You know protect my stuff that’s in here.

It is felt lined on the bottom and this thing has some pretty sturdy rails. You’re not going to be able to push this thing down. This thing has a pretty heavy load rating, if I had to guess. It is lockable and it’s got a pretty stout locking system and latch. So, if you do want to lock it up, that is nice to have. You don’t really need to, in my opinion, because when it’s closed and your tailgate is locked it’s not like anyone can open it anyways but who knows. Maybe if you had the tailgate open and you want to show off some stuff, you’d want to have this locked and that’s an option. So yeah, there we go guys this is the Tuffy drawer system for the Ford Bronco.

Tuffy Ford Under Seat Lock Box and Console Safe Review

Tuffy gets Jonathan’s take about the Ford Console Safe and Under Seat Lockbox installed in his Ford F150.

Hi, my name is Jonathan. I’m here to talk about a couple of really awesome products that I have installed in my truck. It’s a 2021 Ford F150 and I have two products made by Tuffy.

The first product is a center console safe. The second product is a rear seat storage safe that I have in the back of my truck. If I need to take it out of the back, it’s very easy to remove.

I keep usually rifles in there but if there is anything valuable I always lock that up as well. In the center console I keep a forty-five. When travelling, it’s just always nice to have because, one, I don’t want my kids to get involved and it gives me a ton of peace of mind with my kids.

I have three kids ranging from the age of nine to fourteen. They can always be curious. Even though I know they would never want to handle a firearm, it’s peace of mind for myself and my wife that we’ll never put them in danger.

Very high quality. You can tell that a lot of time and effort got put into designing it. A lot of time and effort got put into making the product.

It’s a great product. It’s extremely strong. It’s extremely durable. Definitely feel like it’s going to last the life of the vehicle and longer.

Tuffy under truck lockable steel seat storage, will it help me get organized? How much will it hold?

I need to get my truck organized, Tuffy Security Products has the steel lockable under seat storage that uses un-used space under my crew cabs rear seat. I like tool boxes but they take up space in the truck bed or with a cross-over take up space on my bed rail if I want to buy a topper. Tuffy is powder coated steel with 3 locks. Piano hinge on the lids, great construction. It fits totally under my 2nd row seat. Nobody will know all my money is inside. My money will all fit in my wallet though. Separate lids make it convenient to just flip up one of the seats and the matching Tuffy lockable lid. Thumbs up!

The F-150 is the most popular truck in history, and America’s best-selling vehicle. One benefit that comes with that status is a healthy aftermarket. As we were testing the F-150, we heard about a new lockable safe from Tuffy Security Products that turns the center console of the F-150 into a secure storage unit that cannot be opened by ordinary thieves.

The Tuffy security safe installs in the standard center console of the F-150 (if equipped) and does not require any drilling or other modifications. Unless the console is opened, the Tuffy safe is invisible. The Tuffy safe is made of welded steel and features a 10 tumbler double bitted lock for security. The Tuffy does not block the OEM USB and power outlets located inside the console, and the standard tray and armrest remain usable.

The Tuffy safe can be installed in minutes with simple hand tools, and offers extra protection for any valuables F-150 owners may want to leave in their trucks. If desired, Tuffy will send a technician to the buyer’s home to perform the installation.

Tuffy also provides console safes for other popular brands of trucks. For more information and pricing, visit Tuffy Security Products’ website at www.tuffyproducts.com or call 800-348-8339.

TUFFY SECURITY DEBUTS FORD F-SERIES SUPERCREW PICKUP UNDERSEAT SECURITY LOCKBOX

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CORTEZ, Colo. – Tuffy Security Products now offers a high security lockbox created to fit under the rear bench seat of 2015 to 2018 Ford F-Series SuperCrew pickup trucks. The Model 344 is the second in the company’s line of lockboxes designed to fit under the 60-percent rear bench seats of crew cab pickups.

Featuring more than 3,800 cubic inches of lockable storage protected by the company’s patented Pry-Guard locking system and two 10-tumbler double bitted locks, the Model 344 is crafted to be easily hidden under the seats with chamfered corners while also providing plenty of room to store firearms or other valuables. Further protecting the stored items is the 16-gauge steel which comprises the box and an optional three-digit combination lock for keyless entry.

Lockboxes which fit under all three rear seats limit the driver’s ability to haul taller items in the backseat or utilize the optional OEM subwoofer. By creating a lockbox which fits under just two of the seats, Tuffy leaves the rear passenger single seat free to be lifted so taller items can be transported when needed or leave that space available for a subwoofer.

“Customers asked us to create a smaller underseat lockbox for several different models. At Tuffy, we recognize that pickup products are not one-size-fits-all, so we created the Model 344 specifically for the Ford F-Series SuperCrew pickups,” said Chip Olson, marketing director for Tuffy Security Products. “The Model 344 joins the Model 340 which was designed to fit 2007 to 2018 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra crew cab trucks, and we’re currently developing a model for Toyota trucks as well.”

Fitting under the driver’s side and middle rear seats of the pickup, the lockbox is secured to the vehicle using the company’s innovative mounting system which is accessed from inside the box itself. Model 344 lockboxes include the mounting system which consists of two 16-gauge steel brackets which attach to the back of the box and extend under the seat to the rear of the vehicle. The no-drill installation uses the vehicle’s factory hardware and can be secured to the pickup in under 15 minutes. Simply unlock the box and use the wing knob nuts to install or remove the box.
