Hi, I'm thinking of buying a tuffy overhead locker for my TJ. I noticed they make a single box now to go with the twin box overhead. I'm 6'2" and wondering if headroom will be a problem? I'm thinking the single might be a better solution. Any comments would be appreciated.
Have a great evening!

86 Comanche 02 TJI could be mistaken, but I thought the single box unit was for jeeps that didn't have as much room due to front roll cages installed. The double box unit installs onto the footman loop on the front windshield frame and I think the single box unit has the round clamps on the front like both units have on the back. Like I said, I could be mistaken... just ask my wife... ;) TJim
The new Single Compartment Overhead Console offers an extra 3-4" of headroom above the driver and passenger. I am 6'4" and have to work pretty hard to hit my head on it. About the only way I can do it is to bounce up, sideways, and forward all at the same time.

TJim, You are correct on your description of the older Simgle Compartment Overhead Console. There is a new design that will fit up to the windshield like the double compartment model. The new design also is a lot smaller in the area above the driver and passenger so that there is more headroom.

Sorry for the delayed replys. Haven't been able to check the board lately. I can't tell you that it is impossible to hit your head on the new Overhead Console, but it doesn't seem very possible. I tested one out for a couple of days on the Hole in the Rock trail which is extremely rough (bouncy and rough, not extremely difficult)without even thinking about the console being above me. Again, I am 6'4", so my head is pretty far up there. I actually worry more about hitting my head on the rollbar by the door. The entire box is constructed out of steel, so there is no padding.
