For what use? i.e. daily driving storage or on the trail storage?
Hitch mounted rack, Roof Rack, Small Trailer, etc

 

Mostly for on the trail. With the TJ there is very little room inside. I want to keep certain items in the jeep all the time but security is an issue especially in the summer.

 

Looking for creative solutions, or feedback on storage you have used but didn't work or even better works great

The Tuffy steel enclosure works for my JK 2-dr while retaining the back seat. Tuffy markets a larger steel enclosure but the rear seat gets the boot. The smaller Tuffy enclosure secures enough gear for my purposes: laptop, camera, man purse etc. Easily installed or removed and secure enough to prevent an easy grab theft of jeep goodies. Some jeepers have made a similar DIY version but Tuffy and Bestop might offer one for the TJ.

The TJ Tuffy security unit is not a good option IMHO because the directions make no sense and the rear seat has to come out. I have two master's degrees and couldn't figure out how to install it. I definitely do not recommend the TJ Tuffy trunk.

PS Tuffy Securiy Trunk for sale...

 

You should look into the Storegate. I bought one for my Jeep and love it. I will try and find some pics

This link shows the interior cargo rack I fabricated for behind the rear seat in my LJ:

[Replace ******** with wrangler]

 

50 cal ammo cans mounted on top of the rear fender wells. All kinds of threads on this.

 

Quite frankly, without removing the backseat, there's just not a lot good interior storage options. Tuffy does make storage for under the rear seat, but not sure it's worth the coin, nor elevating the backseat if you do indeed plan to carry passengers.

For wheeling I would look into a high mount hitch tray, or the rack that mounts over the spare tire.
