HI All,
I have had my 08 JKU for a little over a week. I am trying to figure out how to load it with camping and/or road gear for various types of trips I will be taking. I guess I'm a little surprised at how small the space is inside when I actually try to come up with a loading plan.
The current puzzle is what to do with my ARB Fridge/Freezer. Have any of you solved this problem? If so, where did you put it? My ARB will be strapped down to the floor using a tie down kit from Engel. So I need a good, strong floor space. I'm very reluctant to use the cover over the jack. I don't think it will be strong enough to handle the weight when the ARB is being jostled around on the trail.
Typically, I would travel with the rear seats folded but I can see times when there will be rear seat passengers and the seats will have to be unfolded. This further limits the space for the ARB.
How have you solved this problem, what kind of a tie down are you using and how well does it work?
Please don't suggest that I leave the ARB home! I love this silly thing and have been using it for years in my YJ.
BTW, I will have a Wilderness roof rack but the ARB is too heavy to be put up there. That, plus I would need a crane to get it up there.
Thanks, Sparky
