Rear cargo shelf

[gencat]

This my first post and attached are a few pictures of my rear shelf that I built. The PO had a cargo barrier so I utilised the holes in the roof and the threaded holes left after I took out the rear seats in the back.
It is strong enough to take my weight. It does noy interfer with rear vision as it is level with the top of the lower tailgate.

That's a new idea. How do you utilize it? Do you store stuff on top and strap it, or underneath, or both?

I almost didn't click here, thinking it was the same old same old. Nice idea!

When I go away I have a "box" made up that slides into the left side and it contains tables, chairs food and other stuff. On the right side is the fridge on a sliding platform.
On top of the shelf I store all my clean gear like pillows, sleeping bags, mattresses etc.
Normally I take out the rear seatsn (2nd row) and i have a box I bolt in and place other things inside and on top.
Next camp trip when it is rigged out I will take more pics.

Different and new ,but are you absolutely sure nothind stored up there will take your head off in a prang??????????
I think it may have worked safer with the cargo barrier in place mate.

Excuse me sir, did you just say 'prang'? I'm not sure that kind of language is allowed around here. Can we get a mod in here please?

Good looking set up, well done. The side support bars above the shelf have the added bonus of protecting the one piece glass from cargo. I would wonder also if it might be good for the safety or your noggin if you had a cargo barrier in place as well. Maybe removeable and only from the roof down to the shelf. My .02

Another project to put on the list, great idea.

Very nice indeed.

Won't work for me, though; My dogs are tall, long-legged, hefty... and stubborn as all .


Prang --- Do you Aussies use it the same as the Brits? Slang for "collision"?



(praying no one will recall I'm American and ask me how I'm so familiar with the British slang)

Now take pics of it with the bar stools

Very nice work... and if it works for you, then it's worth it.
