So I am in the process of making a center console/security box. It is kind of like the tuffy and smittybilt, but I am doing my own thing.
Mine is built from about 14 gauge steel, 12 inches high, 8 inches wide, 12 inches long (that is just the box). Going to add cupholders to the rear and possibly to the front. I have a piano hinge for the lid, trying to figure out what lock to use... Was thinking a cam lock? The one on the tuffy looks nice, I wonder where they get it from?
I will try and post a picture or two later today, I know these threads are no fun without pics!
This thing seems pretty large, I was wondering if it is too deep? I might get lost in there trying to dig things out! I thought about welding in a divider, have also thought about cutting it in half horizontally so that I would have one compartment hinge on top of the bottom one (that is a lot more work though and I don't really want to go there right now, bunch of other projects to do).
Anyways, for those of you that have the tuffy and smittybilt, do you find things get lost in there? Do you have dividers?
I thought I could probably put some of my tools in there...hmm
