2 door JK storage ideas

[oscar the grouch]

I have a 2 door JK that i need to figure out how to carry my gear in and accommodate my dogs.

I try to use all stuff intended for backpacking and have removed my backseat but I'm still in need of a large action packer worth of storage.

any ideas. drawers and shelfs are out.

i would do a really low shelf for them to stand on but i havent found a bag in the 5in tall range that I could use.
The orv stealth shelf would be perfect if they made them for a 2 door.

Well the most common ways for storage is either a shelf or drawers or both, so eliminating those brings choices down. Have you looked into getting a rack?

Frontrunner wolf packs are about 9 inches tall. I would build a shelf for them to fit under./www.sierraexpeditions.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=12694

I am having the same problem as you are, just with a TJ. I also have a dog and dont want to get him up to high. I like the materials used in this build: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/127843-My-LR3-lightweight-storage-platform-build

That will let you set the height to whatever you need. Maybe ORV will sell their bags individually.

Take out the back seat.

Asked them. They said no

why not just build a couple low drawers? that would leave you with a solid platform/dog bed

Not sure I understand the height issue, but if you don't want a platform, I have seen a shelve made across the roll bar in the back. That should be more than 9 inches of space and the dogs don't have to jump higher to get in.

Hi

I had a Raingler net at the ceiling, very good for sleeping bags etc

Bestop saddle bags, I mounted mine much lower. Really big bags

Trasharoo bag, great for clothes etc

buy small stuff like Helinox chair

New stuff to the left, old stuff to the right

Madrass, sleeping bag, Helinox chair in that order and for the old stuff

Hi

I wish i could do the attic setup. my softop doesnt like it.
Ive started swapping all my gear for light weight backpacking stuff and ordering a trasharoo shortly. need to figure out what to do with my license plate when its on.


tell me more about the saddle bags. i havent seen any good pictures of them.

its an issue where i dont want them higher because of falling out reasons. they are both strapped in but still accidents happen. I fall more toward the rock crawl side of adventuring. and I do that more than extended multi day camp trips. I dont want them any higher as a safety issue for those days.

Here they mount it high


Difficult to se but I mount mine lower here in the movie


Anyway I wished that I never tried to fit stuff in my 2 door with special gadgets that I dont use now. I went with a unlimited instead
