Installed a Tuffy security deck enclosure. So far so good. Took about 2.5 hours to put together and install. Only took that long because I had to reengineer the way one of the fasteners attaches to the Jeep.
I like it. I can finally have things in my Jeep. When I was installing this thing though I had to say WTF-F-F-F a few times on the choices Tuffy made. For instance the top slides/rides in a channel on the bottom part. Since the thing was $460 you would think there would be a nice roller bearing assembly or something. Nope it rides on freaking fender washers spaced out with little cutouts of clear tubing. Seriously? I might expect that from Smittybilt. Additionally, you can lift the top (see pic below) but there is no way to prop it open. Would a prop rod be too much to ask? Heck I would expect little hydraulic shocks for this money.
On the plus side it sure is solid. I realize it’s only as secure as the lock on the Jeep tailgate. I don’t have any rattles.
Glad I have it, but feel it’s worth maybe $250. Not $460...
Have not had my soft top in The Jeep yet with this thing. Should be fine. It will make the top sit higher when folded back. Hopefully it won’t obstruct the view out the rear view too much.
