Reviews for Bestop 42642-01 Locking Under Seat Storage Box in Textured Black for 07-10 Jeep Wrangler & 07-18 Wrangler Unlimited JK Passenger Side
I Ordered both passenger and driver side drawers. I was disappointed with the driver's side drawer because it only slides out half way and I cannot get my 5 D-Cell MagLight in the drawer so I sent the passenger side back.
I returned these after realizing that the harnesses for the heated seats and side airbags had to be relocated. The instructions indicate you should remove the bracket and zip tie the harness to the seat. Considering the importance of the airbag harness, I opted not to install the drawer. I think the factory put the wire harness bracket there for a reason and if a zip tie was accceptable, Jeep would not have designed the bracket. Otherwise, I think the drawers are a great product and if I didn't have the side airbags, I would have kept them.
Not hard to install on paper. Make sure you have an 18mm socket (rare) and TONS of torque. The seat bolts require a breaker bar to loosen for the first time. Box bracket isn't designed to be installed with carpeting. Either cut away the carpet or force bend the bracket.
Good box but, unlike the Tuffy and which I didn't know until after I installed this one, the drawer guides are not full extension. So there is about six inches of drawer that can only be accessed by reaching your hand back into the drawer. Pretty tough to reach something small in a drawer that's only a couple of inches high.
This product is much lesser quality than Vertical Driven only reason I got is because VD does not make a box for the passenger side. The box only opens about 1/2 way so you have to take the underside plate off drill a hole and insert a bolt and nut to use as a stop for the drawer so you can open a normal amount. Drawer rattles so you need to make a catch to hold in place. Overall I would not recommend buying this unit.
