Mopar insta-trunk (for 4dr)

Thanks Steve-o I think that it is going to be exactly what I was looking for. I am going to drill some holes and install some eye bolts to bungie whatever rides on top down. Then bedline the top to get rid of the plastic look....

No it won't- The stock soft top also has a similar bar and the trunk is designed to fit below the bar. Plus I will have my bestop bar with me, so you'll be able to test.

It requires drilling holes for the nutzerts. Probably not too difficult

just make sure when you put it in that the deck is sealed against the closed rear door...remember you checked that out on my trunk...I'd stop by but I'm gonna head over to the Katy Rodeo parade in the morning - then I have some shooting time set up with a Saiga-12!!! Woo-hoo!

Cool. I'll remember to pack it into the Jeep Saturday.

How much of a PITA is it to get in and out?

It aint too bad of a deal to get out but you do need to drop the rear seats to do it...I've had the same one since I bought the JK and really like it. Remember, if you have an Infinity sub-woofer in the back, you may have a problem as there are 2 sidewalls that you have to screw to the tub (to support the trunk lid - it'll support about 85 lbs)...they usually stay attached and the top of the enclosure comes off. (they're set with thumbscrews so if you wanted, you could take them out too - everything is 3 pieces).

yeah, I'll be coming to trees. But I won't be able to bring it- we'll need every inch of room since we'll be packing for 4 people. Sorry.

i am interested. Can you bring it with you to Trees? are you coming to Trees?

I bought this used, in good condition. And then never installed it- decided to mount my Co2 back there instead. So this has just been sitting in my garage. I have all the mounting hardware. Just looking to get back what I paid for it- $100. It retails for something in the neighborhood of $250

Here's a picture of what they are (this is just a stock photo I found online)
