Finally got around to building a shelf in the cargo area... I needed some type of separation from the tools/recovery gear, the 5 gallon water filter; and my sleep system, fishing shit, hiking bags, clothes etc.... So the way this is set up now the sleeping system can stay on the shelf until I need it... with easy quick access to everything else. And there is still plenty of room for all of our clothes bags... My original plan was to mock it up with plywood then build it out of steel... But I'm pretty happy with it so I think I'll just glue black carpet on the ply and call it good... It's strapped down, is easily removable and I can still access that rear floor hatch if needed. And I can run with or without a cooler depending on the trip. Simple.

The carpet over the plywood works great. It deadens any sounds coming from things resting or sitting on it.
Old picture after a run, so it is dirty as hell. I did abandon the lower storage area. For safety there’s a 3/4” plywood floor built into it that is bolted down. The whole assembly is strong enough for me (or my kids) to stand on it.

Nice... separating the tooI area really does help... and I also thought about abandoning the hatch, but right now every little place to throw something helps.

Mostly, I don’t store anything on top except for the half door uppers, but we are typically not camping like you guys. I run a bestop tonneau cover over it snd put the uppers bag on top of that. It’s held in place by the spare and roll bars

This is my 3rd time on this Trail above Bass Lake.... Sad to see all the fire damage from last September... but the scenery is still amazing.

Thanks... I could spend all day there finding good shots.
Thanks Man... I must have said “This was all Green last year” 50 times... it’s a bummer for sure. There has to be a lot more trails up there to explore.
Thanks.

That so true, I'd love to live there because how nice it is, but just can't do it, fortunately I'm so close but I'd have to say Cali across the board has some of the most beautiful scenery I've seen, has all the varieties too.Despite all the BS..
