No, I think we are all embarrassed to admit we bought a POS like that.

I've had a CCOT console in mine for years but I wouldn't buy one again. I don't like the fact that you have to open the whole top to turn the radio down. The locking mechanism isn't great either. I would definately buy the Tuffy if I did it again.
Later,
Today I pulled on my Center Console on my FJ40 that was locked, and it opened up. I did it from the sitting position with my backhand. I was super Pissed. Then I look at what is the locking devise and I'm disappointed by it.
This is the key side. It is shaped in a "S" shape. Why is it not a "U" shape? Or boxed for strength. Or "O" Shaped so it won't bend and let the other side slip by.

This is the other side which i think could be a little thicker

Is this the same as the Real Tuffy console? Anyone else have/had this problem?
I have the same unit and you can not do what I saw in your video. I looked at my lock and the part that is welded to the cover has a much thicker hook. The hook also is flat where the key lock tab sits over. On your unit there is no flat area and I would suppose that is why you can pull it off. I would say that CCOT should replace it.

Hey Steve,
How about putting this on the body and interior FAQ?

Always thought mine was a Tuffy (came with the rig), but the lock mechansimn looks similar to yours.
Gotta go out and see if it says tuffy on it anywhere.![]()

But the picture of the boobs next to the console made it look strong.., stupid boobs.
I have been debating either hogging out my dash for the stereo or building something on to the front of my CCOT console that would allow access to the radio without opening up the top. I don't have to do either. That is exactly what I need.Now all I need is something for the hole in my dash.
UPDATE
CCOT sent me a tuffy and a return postage box.![]()
