Any TJ/LJ owners have the Tuffy Security Deck Enclosure?

I have one and I really like it. I found some rubbermaid tubs that fit inside and it has worked great so far. I do not have any pictures of mine installed, but it looks like the pic above.
It is heavy, heavier than the seat and seat belts you remove. This doesn't bother me, but it's something to consider. Including the tubs I have, I added quite a bit of weight to the back half of my Jeep...

x2. I have thought about it a few times with a brace under it to hold the spare tire on top.

Question for anyone running an an Engel or ARB fridge - does the fridge fit and clear the hardtop and liftgate, and if you`ve got the TemboTusk fridge lift, does that clear too when using the Tuffy Deck Enclosure

Just a little update. I pulled all the carpet and lined the Jeep. Shortly after I went to install the deck enclosure and ran into several issues. None of the holes line up! After several calls to tuffy I was told that my issue was that there was no longer any carpet and because of this I need to custom make some spacers so it will sit at the right height plus the fact that I have an LJ I need to drill a few holes in the bracket to line up. Im not all that happy with this since they advertise it as a simple bolt in product so I just wanted to give people the heads up .
I agree that it doesnt make much sense and in my opinion it is really just Tuffy trying to come up with excuses to why it doesnt bolt right in as advertised in my LJ. They even went on to say that they had issues in the past with it bolting up in certain year Sahara models and said that the bolt batterns for some reason had changed in those Sahara packages. This was shortly after I mentioned that I own obe of the limited 1000 Rubicon Sahara Unlimiteds so they tried to say that may be my issue. Considering Jeep uses pretty much the same dam jeep and tosses on small bolt on appearance things for their diferent packages, I find it hard to believe that they also changed bolt patterns on the tubs.
Sorry its still sitting in my shed waiting for me to figure out a way to fab up spacers to get it to work.
If you re concerned about space I would maybe look at the Tuffy security drawer. The security deck enclosure requires you to still pull out your rear seat even in LJs. However the drawer looks like it is a better fit plus you can still retain your rear seat. I am actually pondering trying to sell the deck enclosure locally to get some of my $ back to put towards the security drawer for my LJ.
