Looking for pics of Tuffy console between seats

[TJR]

I'm Looking for pics of Tuffy console between the two front seats (series trucks) ... Does it fill the void pretty well? I like the OE bench seat look, but will never use the middle seats? I think the Tuffy cubby woul dmake more sense? Opinions? Talbot

Does this help? I just finished mounting mine, don't have pictures of it with the seat bases installed, but can do that tomorrow if you wish. I also diverged from the mounting instructions a bit to make it work better with mine. I thought it was going to be too tall, but once in, it's about the perfect height for my right arm to rest on. Fills the space between the seats completely. I did have to modify my overdrive shifter to use the cupholder. (put a dogleg bend in the shaft)

I don't have a pic but the tuffy is a perfect fit. There is about enough space between the seat and box to put a map book or something like that.

It increases your storage space by quite a bit and gives you something to rest on. I love mine and wouldn't trade it. It's a great upgrade/addition.

I mounted mine to the tunnel cover so I can easily pull the whole unit out and check trans/od levels.

Hey i like this thread. I am looking for some spare change for the toll that is coming up. But all I found was a couple dried up french fries.

it took a second, thanks

but were the fries still good?

[daveb]

Probably, if you can get all the sand, MAR dirt and carpet fuzz off them. I just left em down there.

Seriously, love the tuffy boxes and look for them on ebay from time to time.
Have found two used ones in good shape for around $180.

Definitely get the one with the radio compartment. I like Galen's approach of being able to remove it, but in my 'hood I decided it was better to bolt it down. besides, there are wires coming through it and I don't have an overdrive. But that's just me.

Been waiting to put one in the 90...stereo at the moment is giving me fits in its present installation. So perhaps it's a good time to do it.

Trouble is that my speakers are in the center cubby and I don't want to cut holes in my tuffy. So where to put the speakers is a question.

.. So where to put the speakers is a question.

i posted a pic of my speaker placement once but one of you guys made fun of it and made me cry. they're round and hanging in a cargo net strung from the hoop set. the meanie said it looked like breasties in a fishnet brazier. they do but it works and i can almost hear 'em over the rover rattling, engine whinning and wind whistling

My middle panel has the lock hinge on it so if I really needed to I could put a padlock on it.

My tuffy was in the truck when I bought it. I'm too cheap to buy, made the one in my last truck

I like fries.

I originally attached my tuffy to the center inspection panel but keep looking at it and thinking that it is a heavy bit of steel and when I roll over I have to think that I don't want to be sharing the cab with it. After 10s of thousands of miles with it that way I am finally gettign round to mounting it more securely with 4 screws to the seat mounts.

My inspection panel has a lip at the back and the hinge in the front. It can't let loose in a roll over. When I bought the truck it was just sitting in there and that was not a good solution.

Mine has that lip too. It is thin aluminium and it will bend and let the cubby lose in a roll. Don't ask how I learned that one.

Here's a couple of pics of what mine looks like now. The first pic is of the inspection panel, I removed the hasp from the front of the panel (it interfered with the console sitting flat) and then made a rear mount out of 1" square tubing, the front is 1/4" bar stock. I drilled and tapped them so I could bolt them to the panel from underneath, then drilled and tapped 3 more holes in the top to line up with the holes in the console. I screwed the panel down to the seat box, but they are underneath the console when installed so the console has to be removed before the panel can be taken off. I ran the wires underneath the Rover to the center where the radio cutout is. Second pic is the console in place, still have to make a overdrive boot. (didn't like the Bronco transfer boot that the PO had on it.)

Here's my custom cubby;

I wanted more clear room at the front and didn't need to mount a radio.
