Add this to my list of inexpensive Home Depot mods posted here on Mud for my 40 (stone guards, axe & shovel mounts, baja light mounts, radi reservoir mount, etc).
I have always noticed, since I put in the Tuffy center console when I first got my rig, that I would routinely reach over with my right hand to stabilize myself when turning corners (or just driving a rig like a 40 around). I would also routinely need to use 1 hand - while driving - to open the console to get at something. Neither of these actions was facilitated by the Tuffy's design. So, I came up with a simple solution a while back. $1.50 kitchen cabinet drawer handle mounted to the front top of the console allows me a place to grab and stabilize when turning corners and allows fast, simple 1 handed opening..... and it looks pretty cool and not like a $1.50 mod. cheap and super useful. once you do it, you will wonder why they are not designed this way to begin with.
