Post Tuff-Rox SS D2 Lockable Cubby Box Review:

I've always felt the center console on our RRC/D1/D2's was flimsy at best and not to mention un-secure. Well I was given a heads up that Tuff-Rox was coming out with some new products and a D2 cubby was one of them. As soon as I could I ordered one, and it arrived from the UK to my house in about 7 business days.

It was very well packaged, and it had the hardware, instructions, and a small rivet (used to set the combo). Installation is so simple it's not even funny. Remove the 2 existing screws from inside the D2 center console compartment, insert the Tuff-Rox D2 Lockable Cubby Insert, install the two 10mm bolts and washers, tighten and the install is complete. Then just set the combo to 000, and with the unit open insert the provided rivet into the lock, set the combo, remove the rivet, and test it with the door open to prevent any lock outs. I now find the center console to be rock solid as the bolts and SS insert help to re-enforce the entire console.

I now feel good leaving valuables locked in my D2 while I'm out and about.

I think it would look better with a black finish. Either way its a nice upgrade for only $150.

It looks nice in SS, a regular steel box could be black, but I’d rather have it in SS. I really like how much more solid the entire console feels with it installed. The lock is easy to use and operates smoothly. Very nicely done unit & I’ll probably buy another one for my Kalahari.

I agree the stainless looks great, but I think if it was black it would look more OEM. Basically being stainless, it stands out as something added to the truck and I think thieves would notice this and be more likely to want to break into it. Because if someone took the time to add that box then there must be something secured in it worth protecting. If it looked more OEM, thieves might think every disco had a box like that and wouldnt be worth the effort to bust into it since it would just have old receipts or other nonsense within.

Did you buy it from ebay or do you have a link from where you got yours? Is there felt on the inside or just bare metal?

I have the same interior color as you but I replaced the center console with an all black one while I was fixing the difflock linkage. It looks great but I think that stainless box would stand out way too much.

I ordered it directly from Tuff-Rok, but you can order stuff thru their FB page as well & they’ll email you with an invoice.

Not to step on Best4x4's toes but another cubby box option... WILD4x4.
The cubby box I bought for £65/$83 was from Ryan Wild (Wild4x4) here in England. You can hit him up on FB... https://en-gb.facebook.com/pages/cat...6391959112106/


Mine...

I was going to pull the trigger on the Tuff Rok box but another Disco 2 owner gave me Ryan's information to purchase one
