I've had the strongbox installed for a few days and here are some notes:
1. I received the drawer just 5 days after I ordered. Shipping only took a couple days - probably because we are both in SoCal.
2. There's JUST enough room to access the jack compartment on the driver's side. I was able to take the jack out by using the right angles.
3. Installation straight forward. The fit and finish is pretty nice. Side wings don't perfectly contour the side panels, but that doesn't bother me much.
4. When I initially positioned the box, I made sure to leave enough room for the back seats to recline to the last position. Problem is that when you tighten the turnbuckles all the way it starts going toward the seats. Now I can only recline 2 notches instead of 4 (or 5, can't remember). It would be nice if the front/side turnbuckle mounts could be slightly repositioned toward the front of the car.
5. To my surprise it's not noisy. I only noticed the metal tapping noise over very bumpy roads and potholes. Even then it's not very noticeable. I do plan on adding some CLD tiles to the inner panels and drawer to reduce vibrations.
6. Speaking of drawer - the lock/knob is easy to operate and the drawer slide is smooth. It does come with a slide stop but it doesn't always stop the drawer from coming out all the way. I might need to bend it outwards so there is more friction to stop the drawer from opening 100%
7. Overall I think it is a great value. I was looking at almost all other options but had a hard time spending over 1k. This was right at the mark for my budget and I'm glad I got it!
