Rear shelf

[Lucas Campbell]

Have any of you made or seen a shelf made for across the rear seat area of a jeep, my fiance and I want to put something in my 98 so that on trips we can put gear on floor and have a shelf from tub rail to tub rail to put the dogs travel bed and The cooler on so we're making more use of the space? Pics would be awesome.

You could put seat down possibly getting a little more. I pulled out the 'tool box' in back for more on mine. But that is a good idea for shelf.

I run with the seat out most of the time and a few times it would have been nice to have the second tier, hence the creation of this thread

I agree, I have thought about pulling my rear seat out. I see what you mean now.

Hmmm, I think with some wood, tools and skills you could easily build something. I've never seen a product like this personally.

My father uses this one from Olympic.

I'd like a flat shelf that extends to the tub rails rather than a rack

So kind of like a tonneau cover, but one that can support weight?

Sounds like some 3/4 plywood is in order.

Yep, my thoughts exactly.

You can either have a thick wallet or a bit skill with a saw. Plywood does it all.
It is also lighter than steel.

My current TJR is black/black/black... gotta change that... colour is so much better.

Plywood was my first thought but before I reinvented the wheel I wanted to make sure there wasn't a premade option

Check out the Tuffy security enclosure. Might be overkill but it has a load bearing shelf you describe.

Holds a spare 35" wheel/ tire as seen in post #2 of:

$0.02:

You will lose precious volume with plywood.

Heres the latest, the dog is obviously the reason for the rear shelf.
He treats it like his den.
In the afternoon.. he refuses to get out.
And no reason for a rear seat.

On the other side, 3 compartments.
Cost is scraps of plywood.
