I started today to make templates for a cargo trunk. I've seen a few builds on here, but nothing that really suits my needs. My plans consist of a trunk in the cargo area that would reach from the hatch to the back seat. It will be as tall as the bottom of the windows and it will have a drawer for a coleman stove, and some cabinets at the back of the hatch and behind everything a large main compartment up against the back seat. I will post some pictures later, if anyone has any tips or ideas, I'm open to suggestions.

the templates i made today. still a few more to make.

You planning on wood or steel for the actual "structure"?

I was thinking wood.

looks cool,
are you gonna cover with anything?
tie down points?
drawers?

I was thinking of doing something much the same and covering it with carpet...excited to see how you tackle this.

What year is your Jeep? Will you post the plans and dimensions? This is on my to do list and I like the way your going with this.

i think thats a 90. look at the tail lenses.

DO WORK ! thats gonna be awesome. I'll tail gate with you anytime. needs a mini fridge for 6 packs of be... soda.

Yes, I was planning on either painting or covering with interrior carpet material. Its a 1990 Laredo. And I will post plans and dimensions once It starts to come together.

I'm thinking of doing a similar project just not quite as high as that one. I want to be able to mount my spare on top and not have it stick up too high over the back seat. Keep the pics coming!

This project got moved down on the to do list because of my bumper, but hopefully one day this week ill pick up some materials and get back to work on the trunk.

I think you should lower the box a little that way the junk you toss on top doesn't smack the kid in the back of his/her head... just my $0.02

I started with a giant box in the back of mine as well, but found that it was just way too big, and I couldn't toss anything in the back if I wanted.

Here's my cargo trunk completion. Red82 you might be interested in this one.
