Positive results, it worked and fits the Gladiator console just fine.

No real instructions, so here is my step-by-step if you get one. First, I recommend setting your combination lock with your own personal numbers and do a mock assembly outside the console before doing the install. It will save time later and better understanding how it goes together.

The safe is not a full drop-in piece. Probably the only way to get it inside the console is with the two pieces that screw together like its designed. It has a hinged bottom and two sides that is one piece. Then that part attaches to the top piece with 4 tap nuts. First put bottom piece in the console and collapse hinges flat so you can get the top inside. It took me a minute to figure out the top piece has to be turned diagonally to the console opening then finagled and turned to get it inside the console housing (so to be clear the top doesn’t assemble to the top side of the console, it goes inside). It goes completely inside the console and turns to fit about 3 inches below the opening. Note: It clears the light fine.

Ok, the hard part is over! Then raise the hinged sides to line up with the 2 holes on each side with threads to connect the top and bottom. You will need a box/open end wrench or ratchet to tighten the 4 nuts. Then screw in the 2 self tapping bolts to the console and you are done. Be sure not to over tighten the bolts and I was a little concerned they might be too long. Probably fine, but I stopped a little short of fully threaded just in case.

Entire assembly probably took 15-20 minutes to complete. Really was easy after figuring out how to get the top piece inside the housing and lined up.

Since the safe sits 3-4 inches below the console lid top opening, you can keep your top tray intact and stow some small items on top of the safe if you want.

It’s a keeper for me!

Any idea what size those self taping screws are and the flange nuts? Picked up a console vault from a buddy for $50 for my JT (he sold his for some reason) and need to get the flange nuts and self taping screws. Thanks,
