Negative. At least not with the top on. That's why Sharkey and I built our own decks. Either build thread has more information on it. :thumb:

Tuffy Security deck here as well - butts up to the tailgate and is effectively locked when the tailgate is closed and locked.
I got the same one. It works but I'm debating about getting the other one that the top opens up on.
Did you get the cheaper version?

I built a security deck out of some good 3/4" MDF I had kicking around. Working great so far, even as a prototype version. Considered the metal ones, but this one cost me all of $50 CAD and some time, and so far is doing the same thing.

My jeep has been broken into multiple times and they still haven't gotten anything. The tuffy security deck, center console, and glove box work great for me.
It also depends on where you park your jeep. ( I'm screwed because of a massive amount of tourists where I work. Las Vegas strip)

Are these deck covers easy to take on and off if I need to? I have 2 dogs that I travel with sometimes, and when they are with me. I certainly don't need a deck lock to protect my stuff. Plus they will be in the back.

The top comes off of mine in 5 seconds. The three side walls are more difficult to remove. If you've got two small dogs, you should be ok.

I have two large black Labs, Dory and Chance. Dory is on the left and Chance is on the right.

Great looking dogs! You're in the same boat as me...I've got a golden retriever coming in at about 105-110 lbs. The new security deck from Tuffy has two brackets that bolt down to the tub using the same bolts that hold the tie down loops down on the left and right floor. There are two side walls that attach to this, and then the front wall by the back seats attach to the two side walls. While it is all mostly bolted together with hand tightened knobs, the overall assembly is not quick/easy enough to warrant hand knobs. So you're left just pulling the top off...which is very easy and is hardware free. With the side walls and front walls remaining, you'll lose some room in the back. I was thinking about cutting a slit down a pool noodle and slipping it over the top edge of the walls that remain after the top is off. That way the pooch won't hit anything while moving around back there.

Thanks guys. Yeah those are our kids. They pretty much go everywhere we go. One reason why I was asking about security when they aren't with me. I may build something out of nautical wood. There's always a way with a Jeep lol.
That's a great idea about the padding on the top. I have the under seat boxes in my jku and the tuffy 326 will be here on wend this week. I have a 100 pound lab but he rides in the middle seat or the front seat a majority of the time, but if he ever needed to be in the back, I like the idea of that padding when the lid is removed.

Lucky basted lol, looks sweet!
Thanks! It's been great to have with the top off for the summer, and even when the top is on, it's nice having a little extra security

Is that a custom light/antenna bracket?

No pictures but I have a deck I built. I need to redo it so it butts up against the back gate like the Tuffy. Also have a Tuffy security box under the drivers seat and a pistol holster mounted under the steering column.
Obviously I don't leave the pistol in the holster but I figure in same cases, if they know what the holster is, that it may be a bit a deterrent on its own.

Old thread but I wanted to know at to why can't you mount your arb fridge to the deck? I was looking into using this to do just that.

Depends on the deck itself.
The new style security enclosure has a "floating" lid that slides front/back to lock and unlock. It's not bolted down at all. Anything you put up too should be fastened down to the jeep itself, and not to the deck/enclosure.
The old style security enclosures are designed differently and allow for securing items to the lid itself.
