Hi Guys,

I have decided I want a center console safe. What would you guys recommend? I see the MOPAR option, the Tuffy and the Lock'erdown. Thoughts?

Thanks,
Jody

I bought the tuffy. Works fine. I believe they make the mopar one as well with the only difference maybe being a handle instead of using the key to open it.

Lock’erdown. Spend the extra money and get the electronic keypad.

Thanks. I went this route. I narrowed it down the one with the tumbler lock or the electronic keypad and went with the keypad version. I ordered it from Real Truck, they had a sale.

The reason I didn’t go with these is that I didn’t want to have to use a key. I do like the price better though!

Tuffy here as well. Key can be a pain every now and then but it's not like I use it every day.

Wish there was a biometric option on these.

I have a console vault and I have no complaints. I've used them in my last 2 rigs.

I have a Lock'er down with the keypad but you are not going to be Quick Draw McGraw if you need your iron.

Unhook your seatbelt, twist around in your seat, slide the cupholder forward, open console, type in the combination, twist knob, draw your iron.

Best of luck doing all of this at 70 MPH.

I don’t plan on “carrying” my Gat in the truck. I just want a secure place to keep my car wash tip money and to have in the rare circumstance that I need to stow my carry hog leg for a short period of time.

For the Lock'er down electronic lock... Where does it get it's power from? Battery? What do you do if the battery dies and you can't get into the safe?

Anyone bought the lock’er down with the combination lock and replaced it themselves with an aftermarket electronic keypad? I saw somewhere you can do that for a fraction of the cost of the $150 upcharge the keypad costs. But, I cant find any instructions on how to do it, so no idea if it’s easy or not. Not that it’s a ton of $, but if I can save a buck on something that appears to be a big markup, and it’s an easy swap, why not…
