asked Qudratrac if it would fit under the driver seat of my 2015 Jeep Freedom and this was their reply.

This will fit your model year with the following exceptions: Please note if your Wrangler is equipped with the fold and tumble front seat the mechanism will prevent this product from working on your vehicle. Also The Bestop Underseat Lock Box is not compatible with Jeep vehicles equipped with an under-seat electrical box.

Did any of you guys run into this situation and were you able to get it installed even with the issues mentioned above? I'm not really sure what a 'fold and tumble front seat' is. And I don't recall seeing an under-seat electrical box on the driver side.

Also, if you did get one of these to work, how do you like it?

Aren't all 2 door seats "fold & tumble"???
That was my understanding and why the 2 doors can't use the under seat boxes. Shame because my wife wants/needs one in hers.

It will fit a four-door Jeep 2015 but it will not fit a two door Jeep 2015. The role and tumble Seat that it is speaking of is a two door.

I wonder if it will fit on the driver side if you don't use the tumble seat feature, because it's so difficult to get in the back from the drivers side that I always have my son get in on the passenger side anyway.

I have the under seat drawer on my 4 door, looking under the seat of the wife's 2 door it doesn't look like there's room for it.

No it won't. From Bestop's page:

"Notes
Will NOT fit 2007 or 2011-current Wrangler 2 door models due to change in factory seat construction. This lockbox is compatible with 2008-2010 2-door models.
The 42640-01 WILL fit 2011-Current Jeep JK Wrangler Unlimited 4-door, but a simple additional installation step might be required. Please see installation instructions.

2007-2010: Fits JK 2-Door and JK Unlimited 4-door without interference.
2011-Current: Will fit JK Unlimited 4-door, with one extra installation step. Will NOT fit JK 2 door.

Best bet would be a locking console or glove box.

Bestop 42643-01 - Bestop® Interior Console Lock Box for 11-16 Jeep® Wrangler & Wrangler Unlimited JK - Quadratec

Tuffy 149-08 - Tuffy Security Glove Box for 07-16 Jeep® Wrangler & Wrangler Unlimited JK - Quadratec

I'm going to get the console box also, I just thought the under seat box would be nice to add functional secure space but it's unfortunate that it won't work.

It IS a bummer that the underseat lockboxes won't fit the 2 door JKs - only the 2 door has the fold-n-tumble seat for back passenger access. With all the bracketry under there, there's zero room for anything else!

Although we use about 100 different key codes (for security) all Tuffy products can be keyed-alike, no matter how many you have!

I've been wondering about this! Is there a way to order them from a vendor with matching locks/keys, or must they be ordered from Tuffy directly to get them like this?

When our dealers buy them for stock, they get all randomly numbered locks. It would be a miracle if they had two that "happened" to be keyed alike! They can, however, still get you keyed-alike products - they'll just have us at Tuffy change out the locks. (There's a service fee for the time to unbox, disassemble, rekey, reassemble, and rebox)
Another option would be to get the products, and then just order ONE lock to replace one of them yourself!
Check in with the dealers here - they'll get you a great price and you'll be locked up.

My bestop lock was garbage. Would just spin with the key and often got hung up. Finally just removed their lock and installed one from home depot. 7 bucks and the headache is gone !!

 

[RubiconSquirrel]

When I ordered the glove box, console and rear cubby from Quadratec they ordered a key kit from Tuff. [email protected] min and all three were keyed alike

OK, What is the under seat electrical box referenced? I have a 2016 Unlimited Hard Rock on the way. part of the package is electric seat adjustment.

Does that mean the under seat box wont fit?

I'm not sure if the electric seats would prevent you from installing the box. You would just have to look under your drivers seat and see if anything under there would prevent installation. On mine, ( non electric seats ) there was a bracket I had to remove and re route 1 wire to get my box to fit.

Well since I have a 2 door and I took out the back seat as soon as I got it home. I will be on the look out for 4 door front seats that were taken out to replace mine. No need for tumble seats since this is a 2 person family. Kids are grown and gone.

Can I ask what year and model you have? I have a 2015 Wrangler Freedom edition so I'm hoping it would work after seeing your post.
