Reviews for Bestop 42641-01 Locking Under Seat Storage Box in Textured Black for 97-06 Jeep Wrangler TJ & Unlimited
Fits under the driver seat of my 2004 TJ Sport no problem. The problem was bolting it in after it was under the seat. It was near impossible to get the socket in between the storage box and the seat frame (closest to the center console). Use and angled socket bit.
I had to remove and reinstall with some washers, as spacers, because the fit was a little too snug under the seat which made adjusting the seat back and fourth difficult.
Other than that it is good to go now. Holds my radio faceplate, sunglasses, & wallet just fine.
Just installed the box last night, good quality product but it took me longer to open the drawer to get to the mounting brackets. They shifted during shipment and had to shake the box in order for the drawer to open. this took several attempts. Getting the front two bolts out is not the issue, putting them back takes some patience and small fingers.
Ordered this the same time I ordered a Cat Back Exhaust. Spoke to the rep about 20-mins to insure this item was compatible with my jeep (2005 Rubicon). It arrived and was disappointed to find it does not fit. Yes, after reviewing the description in the catalog (I was ordering from the catalog and not their website) I did see that if I have a folding/tumble seat it would not fit. I didn't catch the small print the first time, so my bad and I take responsibility and will send it back. Discussing this with sales, sort of wish he had brought that to my attention. He did confirm I had a TJ.
Not as deep as it looks. Rear foot is a good 1/2" off the floor.
I have no idea what "fold and tumble" seats are, and I have an entry level Wrangler, so I expected no issues with this. Well, it does not fit, and I presume I must have fold and tumble seats (lucky me). So technically I guess I was warned, but perhaps a better description of what fold and tumble seats are is indicated for this product. I would have really liked for this to work, but no such luck... Sorry, but I am not happy with the situation am stuck with a useless boat anchor...
Returned, did not fit my under my jeep seat.
Returned , would not fit under my seat in my LJ . seats are stock .
If your TJ has a drivers seat that adjusts and lifts forward, then this box will not fit.
I didn't think I had "fold and tumble seats" on my TJ. My seats shift forward and back and do have an adjustable back, but they don't "fold" or "tumble" in my opinion. Not only did this product arrive damaged (several screw heads were sheared off), it also doesn't fit. The locking mechanism for the included security rope/wire swallowed the key and now I can't use that piece, either. I've been purchasing from Quadratec for 20 years and this is the worst product I've ever purchased.
One of the worst products that I have bought. The construction is great , Just will not fit. Spent 4 hours trying to install. Might try to install in something else
