Rear Storage Tray Ideas
I am planning on mounting a permanent storage box to the rear of my 2010 JKUR, and I don't want to waste the storage bin space underneath.
Basically I am looking for ideas on how to utilize that space in a more non-accessible way. I already have on-board air, and I like the idea of another tank to expand my air storage capabilities, but I haven't found an air tank that fits in there. A power inverter could be cool, but not sure if I want to mount electrical that low as I do creek crossings (Fordyce) that can reach that level in the vehicle (obviously I would have a cooling fan with ducting to make sure it doesn't overheat).
Curious if anybody has done anything in particular with that space that I have not thought of... Water storage, relays, or whatever else you have thought of

It holds a bottle of Jim beam pretty well, just have to pack stuff around it so it doesn’t break.

Actually I have seen lockable boxes that fit in there, I keep a change of clothes in there, just in case

Nice build
Unfortunately I am looking for something taller so I can store fluids in the box. But maybe I could take your idea and tweak it to make it taller, and add tie downs to the top to secure things like a cooler and camp totes...

I did a storage trunk a la ronjenx's write-up years ago, and still to date it's one of the best mods I've done. I scrapped the cover for that storage compartment and simply use that part as deeper storage. Usually I have some things tucked down there that I might not need as often (big tie downs, emergency rain top, jumper cables, etc....then all my trail tools just go on top/over that stuff. It's such an awkward space due to the sloped sides, that it's just not super functional to try and get something down there under the cover IMO.

I mounted the GenRight storage rack in my JK.
I find that the area under the rack is pretty much hidden from view and didn’t really need any locking cabinet.

Sweet setup with the cage!
The more I think on it, I might get (or make) a storage bin with drawers that I can lift the front when needed to access the bin and keep hardly used items in there
