Looking for these bags...anyone seen these for sale anywhere?
They come with a JKU rear storage shelf but the vendor, ORV, won't sell the bags separately.
If anyone has seen anything like this let me know. They are 6" tall, 12" wide and 18" deep

I spent days looking for them online. They have them made up special. :)
-
Sweet set up. I might be interested in a set of we could find somebody to make some good quality bags.
-
I am planning on building my own shelf rather than drop the big coin on ORV's. BigMike built his for a two door and I scoped it out over the weekend, his came out real nice.
-
Yeah ORV won't sell separate and I think the middle one is actually shorter to accommodate the sub relocation. May need to find a seamstress who will do some. Shouldn't actually be that hard.
The bag reminds me of the Scott Goggle case that Hayden use to have for all his googles and motorcross stuff

nice find. Very close in dimensions.
-
continuing the discussion on building the shelf...I was planning on using plywood. Mike used MDF because he said he had it in the garage already.
What are pros and cons of MDF over plywood?
-
MDF is heavy and It swells when it gets wet.
Best used for cabinets... I'd stick to marine plywood.
-
These are some cool storage options...

I completely coated the MDF in Home Depot's Deck-Over. It's like bedliner for decks - good stuff. My Jeep was caught in a downpour two years ago at Jeep Beach and it was fine.
After I couldn't find the bags or anything close, I ended up using backpacks. The only thing I'd do differently is get 3 different colors so I know what is in them. The great thing about a back pack it that you can throw it on your shoulder and carry it up the trail if you need to. Someone at work recently needed jumper cables and I was getting ready to go into a meeting. I tossed him the keys to my Jeep and told him it was the backpack on the right.
-
Here is my build thread for the deck. I literally winged it as I went along. I didn't have anything written down on paper for a plan.
The Deck-Over came after the rubber mat idea. The mat wouldn't stay glued to the MDF when it got really hot in the summer. Also, as you see in the thread, someone told me to cut our reliefs for the sub which I did.

Try jumper cable bags... I have a few I use and have no idea where I got them

There are some nice bags on that Dirt Bagz website.

Damn! That came out very nicely!!
-
FWIW, I believe Kevin built some sort of shelf and tire mount in his rig, I think prior to the massive set of upgrades but it might be worth looking at his build thread for ideas.
-
Look at marine grade plywood

For the building material, look at starboard or other similar poly marine materials. You work with regular woodworking tools, but it's a poly material. I've used it on several boat projects and have moved it over to some past jeep projects.

I went down that route but couldn't find any place local that carried marine grade poly-ethelene 4x8 sheets.

West marine, but it does need to be ordered. That's a bunch of change though, close to a grand. Dam that stuff has gone up in price.

I am familiar with that stuff but have no plans to use it, way to spendy.
I am looking at putting about $100 into this thing, maybe $150
-
I found a 48x48 3/4" sheet for $260, but shipping was the problem.

Mikes got the idea with coating the MDF, or any cheaper grade plywood for that matter. We did speaker enclosures in pickups back in the day in the bed called blow-thrus and we just bedlined the shit out of em and let em ride. Im subbed to this thread, wanna see what you decide, ive been thinking about some sort of enclosure for the LJ, either up against the back of the front seats (bc im afraid someones gonna jack my sub and amp), or a really shallow drawer-type system for the entire floor...

This guy built a nice enclosure for his JK. (Below is the first post on it but it is covered more further down.)

I also like the tray on the tailgate

Advantech is supposed to be water proof. I built a big house with it and it got rained on a lot before dried in and no difference

I built my house using advantech subfloor also. I recall them having a guarantee that you could submerge it for a number of years and it won't swell.

there is some serious time into that setup, and some real skill. That tailgate setup would be easy to duplicate, may have to try it out, itd be easier than doin a drop tailgate like a CJ

GhettoFab Productions does not usually make drawings and manuals....that would be a change order :)

It's one of our biggest differentiators. No drawings or manuals.

Drawings, plans? That's for girls. Just measure, cut, test fit, repeat.

I made a shelf with 3/4 Birch from Homer Depot. If MDF is not sealed well it can get soggy and it is heavy, even when dry.I used cardboard to make a template. The shelf fit nicely but my engineering did not hold up, past a Trip to Chicago...I tried using hinges and straps to the tie down anchors, but everything rattled loose. I may try to draw up plans next time.
-
when I put my box in....it bolts to the seat brackets
on each side and a bolt thru the hole for the seat belt
bracket in the tub

I am not sure if these fit the bill but they look like they might be a good option. http://www.retrofitoffroad.com/shop/tactical-jeep-molle-pouches/jumbo-modular-field-pack-multiple-colors/ (http://www.retrofitoffroad.com/shop/tactical-jeep-molle-pouches/jumbo-modular-field-pack-multiple-colors/)
They also have some interesting molle storage options.

Don't forget your industry-leading lack of after-the-sale support. You guys are the best at that for sure.
