The hoses are made from multilayer Kevlar, elastomer, and stainless steel braid. A translucent UV-protected vinyl jacket adds a final layer of protection.

Tuffy Security Products has just released a new Security Drawer (PN 140) for the Jeep Wrangler JK. This Security Drawer provides lockable storage for valuables. Included in the mounting of the drawer is a riser system, which provides the option of easily mounting the drawer higher (approximately 4 inches of clearance) so other objects can be stored underneath. The JK Security Drawer mounts easily in the four-door JK with the rear seat in place or in the two-door JK with the rear seat removed. It also works with the factory subwoofer speaker in place. Constructed of heavy-duty 16-gauge steel with an attractive textured black powdercoat finish, each drawer is supported by a new drawer slide system incorporating smooth-operating, sealed stainless steel roller bearings.
