Tuffy tailgate lockbox

[Rick12785]

View attachment 124855 To those that have the Tuffy tailgate lockbox I decided to try it without the plastic trim and it fits great. Removed the spacers and bolted right into place. A much cleaner look and I gained 2” in the back. Used rubber weatherstripping so there is no rattling.

I did the same, except I put 9/16 spacers on the bottom screws, because that was the difference on length of the original spacers.

@Rick12785 & @StuckinNC looks clean that way.. no rattles or ? it looks like it would fit a single burner stove etc and work well as a table?

how much cargo space does it use without the trim piece and spacers? 3-4 in?

The plastics trim stuck out a hair over 3/4 of an inch. The box is just a hair over 6 inches, so it sticks out approximately 5 and 1/4 inch further than the plastic trim would from center. 2 and 3/4 of inch from the hump with the data plate. These measurements do not include the lock and handles.

I haven't had rattles at all with mine, seriously, and even when I'm just on the road my area is full of potholes and stuff. The key is that it sits pretty snugly on the floor of the cargo area when the tailgate is closed. It lead me to wonder what happens when you have a cargo liner or something, though, because I don't have one and it seems like a close fit when you close the tailgate.

Tuffy says shipping weight is 29lbs... is it really that heavy?

It's heavy. I didn't put it on a scale before mounting it, though, sorry. I'd guess maybe 25 pounds.

I have the OEM cargo liner and its snug but it closes fine. Comes in just before the lip of the cargo liner. Definitely recommend this box.

It does work well as a table/camp kitchen although that meal was on the fire. I do use it with my single burner stove and it works well.
