ATTENTION:

• THIS ENCLOSURE WAS DESIGNED FOR A STOCK OEM VEHICLE, ANY MODIFICATIONS MADE

MAY AFFECT THE FIT INCLUDING: CARPET REMOVAL/CHANGES, SEATS, ETC.

• On Jeep Wrangler JK vehicles with Manual Door Locks only, the rear tailgate lock must be locked

manually with key in order for Tuffy enclosure security to function. Vehicles with Power Door
Locks by default also feature Remote Keyless Entry and the Vehicle Security Alarm. Arming of the
Vehicle Security Alarm (by locking the doors with either the key fob or interior power door lock
switch) automatically disables the interior power door lock switches and ensures the tailgate and
Tuffy enclosure are secure, even on softtop models or with the top removed. There is a 16-second
alarm arming period during which the interior power door lock switches remain active.

•

For safety do not place any items on top of the enclosure that are not adequately secured to the
vehicle to prevent movement in the event of an accident or abrupt speed changes.
