I have this same rack in the back of my TJ. I was able to move it back toward the rear on the roll bar mounts a few inches and gain some room that enables the passenger seats to recline a little more. I drilled 4 new holes in the supports and the rack itself butts up to the rear roll bar upright tubes. The modification did not interfere with anything either.

Thank you for mentioning this,I am definitely going to looking into doing this as being there is nothing wrong with a couple extra inches of reclining room.

Working on a custom set up for my 2012 Jeep JkUR. As of now I have stripped the rear cargo of all cargo and plastic including the stock subwoofer. I have a 37.75"w x 29"d x .709" sheet of red oak plywood as a base which is currently being Rhino Lined. It will be mounted with replacement hardware and fender washers at each factory cargo tie down point. The left side will house an ARB fridge slider for my 50qt. The remaining right 23"w x 29" deep space will be occupied in near fashion to this photo:
Above that will be a shelf made of the same oak and Rhino lined measuring 22"d x 42"w mounted to the Synergy JK Interior Rack Hardware. Thoughts?

This is what I did with 3/4 red oak until I decided to buy the AT stuff and sell the slide to you.....:sombrero: Used it 1x, worked well.

How many and what type of screws did you use to mount the slider?

Phase 1 complete. Rhino lined base installed. ARB fridge slider installed (using Maxcustody's suggestion of t-nuts). Current cargo boxes are a tight fit but they work. Shelf will look great once it's mounted. Current status photo below

Thank you! the tailgate the "Rokmen aluminum tailgate". I was really impressed with the fit and all the stainless steel hardware. I especially like that it locks from the outside and the inside so if you have to leave the vehicle to do a hike or something that you are not in the area for a time you can have a secure place to put valuables thats has more security than a zipper or a plastic latch.Not to mention thats since it is aluminum it very resistant to Pennsylvania's road salting shenanigans in the winter time.

Finished the rest of the storage area today. The upper shelf needs some fine tuning. I think it will work great overall.

That's a Synergy Baja Basket.
I've been running one in a couple TJs, they work great with 2 people and gear. Makes the ice chest accessible and stow the rest of the gear above or below.
