What are y'all using to lock up items? Any permanently mounted lock boxes? I have nothing other than a plastic door on the glovebox
Lock Box for the YJ

OP
That's what I'm looking for. I like that locking ammo can and I happen to have a few not being used. Thanks!
Where'd you get your 'Glock locker' at? That's exactly what I'm looking for, for my 94 YJ.
It's this one. They don't make a bolt-in unit for the yj so i had to come up with my own mounts...
[edit] Note: My Glock is the little single-stack G43. I'm not at all sure the larger models would fit in here. Check carefully before you order.

Bestop's new Locking Under Seat Storage Box for TJ securely locks up valuables and mounts out-of-sight conveniently beneath the driver's seat. Heavy-duty 16 gauge carbon steel, welded construction deters would-be thieves and is secured with a high tech, pick-resistant lock and comes with 2 keys.
Thanks for that feedback. Just got mine, and was able to get Tuffy to get me all keyed-to-match lock cylinders for my other storage units. What do you do to keep your pistol from sliding around when you go off-road?It's this one. They don't make a bolt-in unit for the yj so i had to come up with my own mounts...

I have a Tuffy Deluxe Stereo console and a12x12x32 aluminum tool box for a quad bolted in behind the seats.
That gave an area between the fender wells that I decked with diamond plate and compartmentalized for a huge "Trunk" , just lock the tailgate.
Mounted the end of the TB to the drivers side well, leaving a 4" gap on the Pass side.
Capped that gap with little door also made from DP a viola, Trash-can!
Need to find a Kydex shell that I can bolt into the Tuffy for the 1911.

I have a nylon case I keep it in which fits tight enough in the drawer I got that it isn't a problem.
Nice to see a little gun talk! I never go out in the Jeep without one!
Been shot at, didn't like and I'll never be shot at again for lack of shooting back.
The Tuffy will stop a determined crook. Unless they have a plasma cutter, but at that point the vehicle is probably missing, too.
Or Youtube.
Most boxes like that have simple wafer locks which are about the easiest thing there is to pick. But they will stop crimes of opportunity, which is all most locks do.
While I'm being a wet blanket, ammo cans are not particularly secure. A large screwdriver will open them and leave the lock right where it is undisturbed. I have one with tools in my Jeep, but I did everything I could to make it as inconvenient to pry open as I could.
Tuffy has a hellacious lock and latch system, I'm sure it could be defeated, but the latch is almost the size of the one on the tailgate
One the more important things my console does is secure the fire extinguisher from vandals.
Of course there's not a lot of room in it now, but I didn't really buy it for storage.
Planning on a Tuffy GB for mine too, as well as a hood lock and all keyed alike.
They're not cheap, but they're solid, very impressive products.

Absolutely no complaints about mine. I’ve had it for over 10 years. I have the door hinge locks also. Around here they steal half doors all the time.
