Cargo Space ideas?
 
1 Attachment(s)
Okay so, i have a 98 cherokee gunmetal blue sport.

Im not the offroading type, my goal is to make my jeep look showroom nice. I know its a rugged jeep, but its completely capable of looking sleek.

So over the summer, I painted all bumpers, trim, grille, door handles, windshield wipers (Anything that was originally black) Satin black, and did a full paint restore, along with new white walled cooper discoverer HTs, and all around 15% tints. It may not be the standard preference of Jeepers, but theres no denying the exterior looks awesome (Pics to come).

Anyway, since I have detailed my interior, and all my mechanical work is done (For now..lol), my mind is floating around mods. and i would love opinions from you guys

1. The little indentation in the cargo area, I would like to get a small cargo net, and bolt it in front of the indentation. Im not looking to build anything there, but deffinitely a cargo net, like something you would find in the trunk of a new car, just smaller. Any ideas of one that i can use, or pics of yours if you did the same thing? Or anything.

2. I would like to put a privacy cover over the cargo area, but i want it to look tight and uniform, not sloppy like this picture.

Im thinking more like... think of a trampoline... like a tight, firm material or something. Any ideas?

for the cargo net you could bolt some eyelets in and then weave paracord through them.

There are several very nice aftermarket storage lockers for the cargo area made that are well designed. I was looking at a nice one on craigslist last weekend here locally for $50 and it even said Jeep on it and had a lift out tray for 2 levels plus it was lockable.

I think what your talking about with a tight cover is like the retractable one's in my GC Overland that covers the entire area back there if you pull it closed.

The little area on the passenger side is where I mounted my fire extinguisher. But, from you pic it looks like you already have one mounted there.

I think that ZJ retractable cargo covers may fit, with a little modification. Not sure how they work around the spare, though.
