Any ideas on cargo racks for the rear cargo area? Im thinking about doing something just not sure what yet. I have seen one in a catalog but would have a hard time dumping 270.00 for something that looks like it was made from left over lawn chair parts.

I've had a few ideas with building one for mine. 1" round tube would probably be my metal of choice. And i think i'll make some brackets that mount to the side of the interior (the sheet metal) under the plastic trim so it could be removed.

Did you pick up the one from Dirtbound or other setup??

That is a nice setup using the ropes and such... I think if I had the patience, I wouldn't mind building something like that to split off the rear storage area... would still like to add a rack if nothing else to secure heavier items under when wheeling...

Dude.... that is sweet. i really like the table area. i think i might be stealing that idea!!

I have ordered a custom built rack from "Dirtbound offroad". cant wait to get it and install the thing so i can start working on my air system.

Can't wait to hear about the install... He says that you only need standard hand tools for install... so I'm kind of interested in seeing how it mounts to the floor.. Been thinking about picking up one from him as well for my storage area...

Where do I find a black mesh cargo net for that little storage area

Grand Cherokee has the stock. I used an $4 net to make mine. Works well. Wrapped the net to the backside of the cubbyhole and used hot glue and 2 small screws.
