no.... but i have made one for my jeep... i used a door hinge on the bottom and bolted it through the trim then added eyelets and hooks for the latches figured if im only going to have straps and bungees i wont need a lock... makes the space so much cleaner

I have only had my XJ a short time, but was just looking at that pocket last night at the drive-in movies. I was wondering why it is there with seemingly no use.

I think y'all have a good ides there & I am going to put a door on mine too.
i also noticed a small storage area under the back seat for my tire plug kit & some tow straps.
