Reviews: Bestop Universal Storage Lockboxes

I think the most important feature about this security console, which I do not see pointed out anywhere, is the Bestop security console lets you keep using the factor upper console tray, whereas the Tuffy security console requires the upper factory console tray to be removed. That is a huge difference to me. My only complaint is that you can only open and close it with the key. So, you can not just unlock it when you get in the vehicle and lock it when you leave, you have to unlock it every time you want to use it. That is because the key can not be removed unless it is locked, and there is no handle to open it with other than the key. I am going to experiment with making a handle and just turning it to the locked position without closing it, so I can remove the key. The Bestop security console is actually heavier gauge than I was expecting and does provide good security. However, you do lose some storage space at the bottom of the console where it widens out, but the security console has straight sides that are the same dimension top to bottom as the opening at the top. I think this in unavoidable with any security console, otherwise it would not fit.
