Had my '20 wheels powdercoated

Those came out great. I like that a lot. And the others are right, FRF is hard on the pocket book.

Thanks, and yes FRF is an expensive drug! It's hard to believe when it seems like if you are not a total ***** you need to at least do wheels and well over $1000 in auxiliary lights at a minimum! Then of course you need some graphics, and upgrade the stereo, a tonneau cover, a tune, a console gun vault, HOLY SHIT!!!!!

I just put in a E&G gun vault yesterday that I got from Nick at Apollo Optics, because I didn't want to be shunned by the FRF community. It is awesome though!

How was the install, I’ve been going back and forth between several models, with the Tuffy kind of leading. I like the code vs key available as an add on with the Tuffy, plus you can still use the tray. But, I’ve been reading everyone’s opinion on their respective boxes and have yet to pull the trigger. (Pun intended.) How’s the E&G, can you elaborate a bit on “awesome.”

The box has top notch build quality, great fit and finish. Very heavy duty build. I think it's just the right size for a pistol and a few mags, still room to throw in some extras if your going for a hike. I really like that you have 1/2 of the console free for random stuff.

The install is straight forward once you can figure out how to get the damn electrical plugs on the rear panel to release!

OH, the gun vault... ok. Sorry, I misunderstood when you started off with "The box has top notch build quality"

Appreciate the info. Glad to here the install is straight forward. The videos make it look a bit challenging. Appreciate the feedback.

Yes, mandatory or you forfeit your man card.

The 2 things I ran into is that if you have an 802A, finding the tiny little very flat and hard to see tabs on either side of the USB port plugs was hard until you figure out where they are. There is a very small flat tab on either side of the USB plug I needed to put a small flat blade screwdriver under each one, then it popped right out. The other thing is poor directions and VERY poor photography on the install sheet. The thing that wasted a lot of time due to the poor directions is that once you remove the 2 10mm bolts from the rear/side of the console they tell you to get a "large" pry bar to pry up the right rear of the console so you can slide in the steel mounting plate.

What they neglect to mention, or show in their ****** photo, is you are prying up on the plastic part only of the console. There is a sort of honeycomb/ribbed part underneath you can safely pry on with a 12" or so wonder bar. NOT on the black metal bar that runs all the way across and is what I was prying on to start. Between telling me to use a LARGE pry bar and the poor photo I wasted a lot of time trying to carefully raise the black metal bar. I would not consider a foot long wonder bar, which very easily has more than enough power, to be a LARGE pry bar. I have 2 footers and 3 footers, those are large pry bars! That gloss black metal brace IS NOT MOVING and a simple 10" Wonder Bar is easily enough to carefully lift on the bottom of the console box to slip the plate underneath. Other than that it's a straight forward install.
