This 16-gauge steel overhead security console has one lockable compartment for mounting a stereo, CB Radio, Speaker or other electronic device. The compartment door swings up flush and latches open. The door is secured shut by a double bitted 10 tumbler lock with built in weather seals. A bolt in stereo mounting tray makes installing a DIN mount stereo or CB radio a breeze. The console is expandable to fit between the roll bar and windshield. Mounts to factory holes, no drilling required.
I was unwilling to place a 2-way radio on top of the dash, or under the dashboard, as there just isn't a lot of room in a TJ Jeep anyway, so being able to mount the radio's up in an overhead area and not have it take up leg-room and/or headroom from either the driver and/or passenger was paramount to the decision to purchase this Overhead Console. I haven't installed it yet, and I will post another review after using the Overhead Console for 90-days or so with a Ham Radio, Export Band Citizen's Band Radio, and a Midland MXT400 MicroMobile GMRS 2-Way Radio all three mounted and working independently from the Overhead Console...
Easy to install does exactly what it says.
Looks nice, easy to install , strong.
Easy installation. Very adaptable. Can mount just about anything electrical in it. Heavy duty. Excellent powder coating. Cleans great too. Tweeked it little to put in a bigger CB, Air band scanner, and still had room to secure other items.
Used for cb, space saver.

A: Rango, Thank you for asking. The Tuffy Security Single Compartment Overhead Security Console is no wider than a CB radio you should have the clearance to avoid any head bumps, but while your wheeling anything is possible,

Q: what are the inside measurements of the container? I want to put a CB Radio inside and need to know if it will fit securely inside. Answer this question
A: Thanks for the inquiry. The opening of the Tuffy Overhead Security Console is 7 1/8" (180mm) wide, 2 1/8" (50mm) tall , 8" deep. I would recommend the Cobra Compact CB Radio here http://jo.my/6cyne0 as it's compact size would make mounting easy.
