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

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.)
      Thanks to all for the picsLooking more at the RN site and Specs (LxWxH), the one I have really isnt the one for the Series LR. .. the 12" wide one looks to fit really well...

      I will sell it in order to get the correct one..

      I have a similar one in my early bronco.. It holds a ton of stuff (junk). I can't imagine having even more room?? I call it the abyss

        has anybody ever thought of a speaker console?

        meaning head unti, speakers and possibly amp all in one?

        I have seen such things in various cats..

          That must be a pretty extreme surgery to fit all that into a cat! do you remove more than just it's testes?

            Mounted in a 109 wagon

            - To be able to get to the overdrive and not have it slide around I put a hinge (a piece of the SS ones left over from when I replaced them on my old Carawagon's roof) on the back - attached it to the seatbelt mounts in the back and with a retainer strap from the seat in the front.

              Cool 3rd pic threw me off. you must have a 109.. Is there no bulkhead behind the front seats?

                I have the Tuffy box and it is a perfect fit. I attached it to the center cover with wing nuts and studs for easy removal. At first it rattled a bit so I sandwiched a sheet of foam rubber between it and the center cover. That stopped the rattle and also helped to quiet some road noise. I also have a cup holder on the back for the rear passengers to use.

                  Got my tuffy 17-01 in the mail today.. That thing is massive.. Lot of storage. I thought the one in my bronco was large, but this is incredible..

                      Here is a better one on my Tuffy... installed right, these are like fort knox, and you're right - quite roomy actually...

                      fyi - in case someone is wondering, behind the "stealth black grill" under the dash (on the firewall) I have an ultra-thin sub-woofer (pic2)...

                        Am I the only one who doesn't see any photos here? Do I have a forum setting incorrect?

                        I am looking for an installed pic, if anyone has anything to share.

                            i got mine used on ebay for 100 bucks. fit perfectly between
                            i ran 3 bolts up through the seat box and through the bottom of the tuffy. put some fender washers on top and wing nuts.one on the front center and two in the back corners. it doesnt budge but i can undo the wing nuts and have it off im about 30 seconds to tend to my overdrive. i turned the overdrive shifter so it is as far to the left as possable and moved over the cup holder a couple of inches everything works perfectly.
                            i love it

                              I wonder what happened to the pics, I posted a few of my installation back when. Maybe there's an expiration date? I haven't changed anything (at least knowingly)
