Locking storage when roofless

[PavementWarrior]

My brother still has his ole CJ and his pitbull goes everywhere with him and stays in the jeep if we go into a store or something (the jeep actually belongs to the pitbull). So I am not sure what the modern options for locking internal storage are.

I guess a hardtop is best option, but eI am really toying with getting a softtop. Mostly wanna keep some small stuff, sunglasses, utility stuff like knife, etc

Out of the factory does the center console/glove box lock or maybe below rear for tools? I did not see much in reveal video so I am thinking there is something obvious everyone has now, that I am missing

Centre console locks, as does glovebox.

They also mentioned new additional secure storage on Press day, but didn’t elaborate.

There are lots of 3rd parrty locking storage options for the JK, I’m sure there will also be many for the JL.

Tuffy security products will have some solutions for the JL pretty quickly. I had the security enclosure in the back of my JKU and it was decent.

I plan on getting and under seat one as well as a rear cargo lid. There are a number of vendors that make them for the JK. I expect most of them to release JL products as well.

The Tuffy one is my favorite, because it can easily be removed by hand in seconds for when you have to fold the seats down.

They lock - but aren't hard to pop open.

Ugg, good to know I was hoping the jl would have thought of that and made them stronger. That tuffy rear lock looks really handy.

Being smart with console is probably good enough

I have to assume Console Vault and/or Lock'Er Down will have something available shortly.

I have the Tuffy trunk for my JK. It's pretty nice. I use that and a Bestop under seat box.

When I first bought my YJ I drove to school in Philly and locked the center console up and went to class. Fail.

The 'Insta-Trunk' works well too. For the 2 door rides.

You learn really quick to just not leave a lot of stuff in your Jeep. You really don't need to. Besides when it rains or when the wind blows around - things blow out or get wet. So just learn to keep your Jeep empty.

I'll tell my family - if it blows out of the Jeep, you didn't need it anyway.

I plan on keeping the jeep fairly empty, my console usually has basics like flashlight, knife, utility tool, crappy sunglasses, iphone charging cables, sun screen. The center console lock should be ok for that, if someone breaks it, oh well out 100 bucks tops.

the locking back looks perfect for a day trip, so I can lock stuff like a small cooler, a few packs,etc if we wanted to stop for lunch.
hopefully down with spare I can stick stuff like tow straps, maybe some better tools, etc, would be nice if that locked too.


In Oct we survived the big northern CA fires, had to evac in middle of night, suddenly having locking storage options was an important thing..
Keeping emergency supplies ready is now higher on my list (Anything you saw on TV does not capture the full horror of the sounds of your neighbors houses exploding, walls of smoke and fire, looters... was friggen crazy)

I called Tuffy today. They plan on releasing the JLU version of the Security Deck Enclosure (trunk) in about a month.

Here is the JK version:

Check out the www.diabolicalinc.com Slipstream. He hasn't completed the JL model yet, but I had it on my JK and loved it

Doesn't look like you can quickly remove it when you need to carry large items with the seats down
