DIY TJ Storage Cover

[BBQBOB]

My friend and I built a TJ storage cover earlier this year. I can't take credit for the idea as it derived from this: http://theroadchoseme.com/jeep-tj-storage-box

I'm thrilled how it came out and it is the best $70 I have spent on my Jeep. Plywood, outdoor carpet and brackets were bought from Home Depot. We installed 2 nutserts into the tub to secure the top.

I recommend cutting cardboard as a template before beginning and tying into the existing rear set brackets for mounting. We used a hot glue gun and stapler to attach the carpet and finished it off with a cargo net on the top and molle pouches on the front wall for storage.

Let me know if you have any questions, happy to help

That's a pretty good looking storage unit. Part of me want's to build one just like it. Part of me want's to build a waterproof version.

Just add caulk.

The only thing that rattles are the wires on the pins.

It will take me a while to get all the dimensions on the drawings. It was built in Solidworks.

How did you attach the 2x4’s to the wheel wells?

There is a single long sheet metal screw towards the back holding them down. You can see it just to the left of the rollbar in the middle picture. The front is attached to the plywood piece with a couple angle brackets.
