Jeep JK unlimited Rear Cargo shelf DIY

[Rubicon_Fan]

I always wanted more shelf space in the back of my jeep and saw few shelf options for sale, just couldn't justify paying $500 for it. After seeing this great idea on another jeep forum, I decided to do it and share it with you.

Here is what I did:
I bought a sheet of plywood 3/4" thick

Made a template from cardboard:

Traced and cut the plywood

I painted black from the bottom and bought black headliner fabric from a local auto upholstery shop to cover the top

Made brackets to attach the shelf to so that I can still use my hard top and a soft top.

And here is the end result. It's jump enough to sit and jump on... And what I like about it is that during the summer time, when I put my soft top down, I don't have to worry about a having something stolen from the back of my jeep.

Looks great!

I made exactly the same thing for my TJ a while back.

It's been keeping my gear safe so far through Central and South America.

Looks good, is that a speaker in the back?

Yes, it's my sub box in there, I remove it when I need more space.
