Put a net under my console lid to make useful storage space out of wasted space. I keep my various electronics cables in there (phone charger, Ipod charger, netbook charger etc etc).
I keep several heavy objects handy in the console's removable tray and it was always a pain to remove it to get to stuff underneath in the console so I just added a large U-bolt to it so i can easily lift the tray out.

This is a hard tonneau cover/rear deck I made for the tub on my 2013 JKU Sahara. I have since added tie down hooks for securing a load. It can be used with the soft top on or off but not with a hard top which is ok because I don't have one. It gives you a lockable trunk and more usable storage space when packing a lot of gear. It is made of 3/4" ply solo covered in automotive carpet.

Looks like you have a PA plate. If you are not too far from Manheim, PA I'd be glad to help. I made a pattern which would take most of the work out of it. Mine was a lot of trial and error until I got the shape right.

One thought to add: when I built my rear deck I put the divider wall back from the rear seats. This gave me an access area behind the seats for the door surrounds (and kept them out out the trunk area accessed thru the gate)

I have been meaning to add a piece there to prevent entry through the seats. I really like your idea of leaving a space for the door surrounds. Cool idea!

I'd had the metal one on my 2011, but wanted this look on the 2015. Also you get more space. I suppressed the bolts so that it wouldn't be easy for someone to open/steal stuff on a trip. Soft top hides edges anyway. Next I'm going to wire in a light to the bar light (turns on when the gate is open)
