They also keep it out of the way of 1. Stealing it. And 2. Sun damage when you have your top on

Got tired of stuff sliding around on the dash and didn't want to buy day star dash so I made a custom cargo net. Cost $3.

I don't make them, this is not my Jeep. A friend (JuJu) and I have been tossing around some ideas and we found these photos online. He has the.. hmmm i think it is the offroadheroes top? The silver JKU:

I had a steel plate fabricated, but not installed yet, to open the back like this:

I am still debating on whether to customize a soft top or cut my hard top. The only thing holding me back is budget, and the fact that it's my DD. Don't want to have to drive to work on a monday morning in the middle of a big project.

Once the back end is opened up, so do the possibilities for mounting the spare. Vertical? Horizontal? Slanted? All you need is some tube stock, a bender, a welder and some bolt-on tube clamps. Oh, and some imagination!

Excellent idea, you should get a patent or someone will steal it. I'd buy one from you!
