XJ owners: can anyone confirm whether a YETI/RTIC 45/65 will fit in the back long side against the wheel well?

Figured that I would help you out since I have an XJ and a Yeti 65. I had to push it all the way against the rear seat but it did fit. The pictures make it look like there is a little room to spare but once the tailgate is closed there is no space.

Thank you! Much appreciated.

Prolly where they got its length spec.

One thing to be careful with, I believe the Rtics run just a tad bit bigger than their Yeti counterparts. If his Yeti 65 pretty much friction fits with the hatch closed I don't think you'll have room for an Rtic 65. So you may have to either splurge on the Yeti or look into some alternatives like Ozark, Pelican, or Orca.

Edit: Just double checked and the Rtic 65 is almost 2" wider than the Yeti 65. 1.625" to be exact.

Thanks. I ended up ordering a Kenai 45.
