Default Extra space in the back??

Has anyone made a compartment door or something for the little place in the back of the Jeep. I know you can add a sub in there buit I wanted to put make a compartment out of it that I can close up and even lock if I needed to.

Thanks, I didn't know what key word to type in to search. I tired a bunch of different things and got nothing.

The sky's pretty much the limit in regards to what you can put there, and the biggest restriction (besides space) is your fabrication skills. Also, those taillights made me throw up a little.

I would take those tail lights but I wouldn't use them when I go offroading. I'm going to make a sub box to put in there here pretty soon.

Those aren't my tail lights. I found a picture on the forum and used it. I don't like the euro lights.

I was looking more at making it a storage box or something. I Just might make a little plexi-glass door with some hinges so it'll swing up
