Was thinking the same thing.
It would be nice to see the way people store everyday things as well as securing stuff small and large.
Ammo is usually heavy enough if you are making a short trip but putting it behind the seats close so if you have to make a sudden stop it won't slid/tip. A good friend uses a smaller tie down to secure.

This thread is full of fantastic, rugged, and even permanent solutions, but a few people have mentioned or hinted about carrying everyday things to everyday places (not necessarily offroad), also. So, at risk of cheapening this thread, just in case some people didn't know these exist (I didn't until recently), I'll add the Harbor Freight Trunk Organizer.

It's not going to hold itself down offroad, but the design keeps it very stable whether loaded or empty and it still takes a lot of rough stuff to move it around. The best part is that it's collapsible, so it's flat when you don't need it. We have one all of our vehicles, two in the mallcrawler WK.

Even our wildest-built roadworthy JKs are grocery-getters on occasion...

 

considered the organizers that mount inside the tailgate? for the heavier tool boxes nothing is better than an old fashioned ratchet strap.

 

I have a large black plastic trunk from Menards that keeps all my gear secure. It is not anything fancy, but does have wheels on one side to make it easy to move around when outside the Jeep. It is big/heavy enough that I usually do not have it strapped down, but that would be easy enough.

I could not find it on Menards right now, but it was listed on Walmart.

I paid roughly $20 for it, so very cheep and simple solution. It fits right up against the back of the rear seat nearly taking up the width of the Jeep, just enough room on one side to roll up a jacket and towel. With it being black and the rest of the jeep being black plus the tinted windows of the hard top, you can hardly see it when you look through the windows.

 

haven't gone soft top as yet, so I use a Pampers box, need something decent for the summer.

 

I really like the smittybilt molle systems that mount to the tailgate. Affordable way to keep your stuff organized.

 

I have this Smittybilt molle organizer, it comes with the 2 pouches you see and has room for another small pouch if you want. I keep recovery gear and a bunch of misc. things in the pouches.


I also put bungee cords in an "X" pattern in the back hoops to hold down anything I put back there. As for a .50 cal ammo can get a small ratchet strap and connect it to the hoops in the back of the Jeep.

What brand is the shelf and the slide out cooler rack that you have shown in the second picture?

 

I have a rear fold down table (e-bay) on my tailgate (tarp fits in-between table and door) and Springtail Molly Side Storage Racks. 50 cal. ammo boxes fit nicely on top of Springtail racks. Plenty of places to attach Molly gear or bungee. Cooler straps in the front behind rear seat. Not a sound when off road and everything stays in place.

 

Very clean set-up you have there.
Can you please show me a pic of the fold down table.
Thanks

 

Not the best for clear picture, but you get the idea. The table was a little over a $100.00 from a seller on e-bay. He cut "JEEP" in for no extra charge. You can get any name that will fit, but the bigger the name the more molly holes you loose. Springtail Solutions also makes a nice table too. The e-bay table is a little cheaper and I also had it before I found the Springtail tables. Both are good quality and you can't go wrong with either one. You have to drill holes in your Jeep for the e-bay one and the Springtail tables uses existing holes with no drilling into your Jeep. I have so many mods that drilling/cutting my Jeep doesn't really bother me anymore. LOL .... what's another hole.

 

Here is my cargo area.

you can still access the factory storage compartment




I also store recovery gear in the 60mm ammo can. This way i can still access it if I flop or can't get my tailgate open.







Then of course a tailgate table

 

Very clean set-up!

 

Not camping gear, but I carry some tools and gear with me that I need for work on occasion. It basically stays back there ready when needed. I need to keep it organized and secure.

It drives me crazy when stuff shifts around or rattles when I am driving.

I finally settled in on some Pelican cases and a pair of Dirt Bags. Keeps stuff secure, quite and separated. Best thing for me is that since everything is packed up, I can quickly remove or re-load my gear without loosing stuff.

Pelican cases aren't cheap, but they last forever. Trick is getting the perfect sizes for your gear and cargo area.

 

I just ran across some storage options from Rightline Gear. I do not have any experience with their products but they seem like good options for storage & keeping items organized.

Got my interest. Dont like adding big weight to tail gate or have too much hanging off the back while wheeling. These bags are tempting, and still leave floor space in a JKU.

 

On the actual Rightline website they show the bags in black and gray colors. Don't know if you can order in black or not

 

I like some of their storage options too. I have a Tuffy enclosure so that limits my options but I like some of the roll bar storage for smaller/lighter items. I also like how they can be removed if not needed.

 

Just ordered the behind seat bag and the roll bar bags from Quadratec in black. Also added a Duffle in black to keep our deer lease crap in one place. Ill Let you know whats what with the stuff. I too like the easy option of removal if and when not needed or need space for something big. Thanks for the heads up. Have looked at allot of different setups, most of the really good ones are a bit more permanent than I wanted. We do allot of different activities with our jeeps and need to be able to switch between them and make space for different things.

 

I just installed the JK Molle rear door folding rack from Springtail Solutions and I love it. Quality construction, easy to put on, and no need to modify the rear door or drill extra holes anywhere.

Need to get some more molle bags but the small one I already had fit perfectly.

 

Just for those who may be interested about Rightline gear storage bags. I recieved the roll bar bags and the rest was on backorder. I'm not going to rag on Rightline but for me and my wife these bags were not of the level of quality that we expected for the price. We cancelled the back order and returned the bar bags. (thanks Quadratec as usual) no problem. Zippers were lightweight IMHO and the material which I was expecting to be similar to waterproof boat bags (heavy) was not and more akin to high school Gym bag material. Back to mole bags, ammo cans, heavy canvas bags and so on.....

 

Sorry to hear that. I had the same expectations on the quality & materials used for those bags.

 

I keep one of these locked to my Springfield Molle Side Rack so if I need to leave a bag in the back of the Jeep when I leave it for a bit, it has a bit of security.

Thought I'd follow up on this somewhat old thread. I got the rightline trunk storage back for my '16 unlimited and was pretty disappointed mainly in the quality of the rigid plastic material that is supposed to keep the shape of the top of the bag in tact. See pics below. I contacted customer service to complain that it's under engineered currently and until this is addressed I have to say I definitely don't recommend this solution. It's pretty expensive and I expected better quality over all.

 

Here is mine. Cant stand stuff rolling around. This is before I had it carpeted....

 

Just installed the Teraflex rear cargo shelf, got some storage tubs to fit on top but no pics of them yet.

 

I have this on my short list also, I think this is a great option. I'm considering the side inserts also.
