Part #:
We all know just how small and secure the glove boxes are in the TJ's. A three year old with a plastic hammer could probably break in. It only took getting one of my TJ's broken into before I decided to upgrade to some serious protection. Now since I can't leave a large dog in the vehicle 24/7 I decided to go to Tuffy for some security.
I ordered a black box since I was going to paint it to match the interior of the Rubi. Well at the end of 2002 the dealership still had no idea as to when the paint would be available, so I didn't paint it. At least it will be obvious to anyone looking in the windows that they are not going to get anything out of this glove box.
The glove box came nicely packaged with all the parts. I promptly lost the screws for it, but that was easily remedied by a trip to Lowe's. That is what you get for cleaning up the garage in the middle of a project. This unit is heavy compared to the stock plastic, but doesn't have anymore room to hold things.

Common Sense and Safety should always be observed when working on your vehicle or doing modifications. Jackstands, wheel blocks, disconnecting the battery are a few of the basic safety precautions that should be used and may not be mentioned in the write ups on this site. You are responsible for your own installation, these write ups are a helpful guideline and should not be taken as an official installation instruction. My write up may be different from the kits currently out there, so alwasy double check the manufacturers installation instructions when installing anything. I try to keep the site up to date with changes that have occured as I discover them, but may not have the latest unless someone lets me know. If you feel that an install is above your capabilities after reading my write ups, I recommend getting together with a club and getting some help. Only a few times have I needed to employe some actual help from a shop to get something done. Usually welding or A/C work. While I have spent many years working on mechanical systems, I am not an expert, nor do I pretend to be one. I hope these write ups have been useful to you.
