Default Rear cargo organization

So I got tired of stuff sliding around back there and thought this was a good way to contain my recovery equipment for now.

Reese cargo net suspended tightly behind the seat. I used the existing anchor point hole on the right for the mount. Drilled a new hole on the left. Used the anchor from the right in the middle of the seat, with a carabiner to keep it from stretching open.

Oh and I finally mounted my fire extinguisher.

I want to mount some RotopaX storage cans where the spare tire was in the future.

I hate to post photos of mine as you can just barely see the top of the back seat on one side. I'm ready to off road all the time.

I also carry it all, from a full on repair or extraction, to fresh coffee.

My storage solution isn't impressive, but it works. Rear cargo organization-image-1844290320.jpg Generic cargo net, milk crate, ammo can, and some metal to make the cargo pocket to the right usable. It's enough to hold all my junk.

These storage compartments look great. Next month I'll start on mine. Want it to look something like this.

Sorry, I did not join the forum until after I built the XJ and did not think about a build thread ahead of time.
But here is where I got the idea of a false floor made with scrap lumber.
