I tried searching, as I am SURE I am not the first to figure this out, but there is a ton of room behind the pass taillight!!

I went to change a bad bulb, and was amazed at how much space was in there. It only takes the (two screws closest to the tailgate) to get it off, and I think I am going to replace those two screws with wingnut's for quick access.

So far, I have put things in there that I would rarely need. Folding military shovel, hatchet, spare serpentine belt, and a giant C-clamp (to push caliper pistons back in during pad swap on trail). Still looking for other things that I will rarely need, and that can get wet/damp. The bottom of that cavity has a foam piece that is designed to keep water and debris out, and still let it drain, do be careful how you place stuff in there, and know that it can/will get wet I suspect.

Anyone else done this? Any down sides I am missing?

 

Ill have to look. I wonder if I can mount my air horn compressor in there. I've been looking for a good out of the way quiet place for it

 

I was planning on mounting my Quick air 2 compressor in there

 

Interesting! I wouldn't have guessed that.

With the two-door, I'm up for any more storage space available.

Thanks!

 

Cool, I agree! I have the 4door, but it still helps.

Good call!

What are you guys going to put in there? I still have LOTS of room!

 

Tire puncture plug kit, extra tow strap with clevis.
Still thinking.

 

Just remember the bottom is not solid...

 

If you put something large in there (folding shovel) it holds the bottom down.... I think :-)

 

Contraband?

 

I found this area the other day now plan on putting some air horns in there.
