Love this- but does it have a way to lock it down (a hook for a cable lock, etc) to keep someone from just walking off with it?This is what I’m using for tools,recovery gear etc.

Yes it does. I’m using combination cable locks (the ones for bicycles) on each side. I routed them under the seat real then through the handle on the box. Then I used a bungee around the handle to the latches points on the floor where the rear seat was latched to.Love this- but does it have a way to lock it down (a hook for a cable lock, etc) to keep someone from just walking off with it?
This cost about $20. It will come in and out in about 3 min. It can be used with or without the back seat in place. I ran it in my JK with the seat out and thought I'd try it with the seat in for a while. The photos don't show, but you can still put two bigger than carry-on suitcases side by side upright behind the shelf and close the back door with no problem. The shelf has two TARGET baskets with room for an ammo box for tools and a 20 qt. cooler between the baskets and then additional room on the other side of the Driver Side basket for other stuff. The shelf is secured with zip ties and pulls against the roll bar on either side on the back. On the seat is more storage for camera and whatever on either side. Under the seat is more storage in 3 "makeup" cases that cost about $12 each. In front of the "makeup cases" there's additional storage. (not shown are two angle brackets that I got in the gutter section at lowes that are attached via zip ties to the bottom of the shelf to prevent sagging when weight is added)
For the a$$hole who will ask-no I don't carry makeup in these.donuou recall where you found these?
Do you recall where you got these? Or would you mind sharing the size, brand, etc? It looks like they fit pretty good right there, do they slide into the floor board?This cost about $20.

Step 1: Throw away back seat (No one wants to sit back there anyway).
Step 2: Ignore Amazon description as a 4dr product.
Step 3: Throw away directions - you will be installing it backwards.
Step 4: Drill the thinner mounting brackets (using a 5/16” drill) 3/8” inward from the existing mounting holes.
Step 5: Drill the wider mounting brackets centered 15 inches forward of the holes you drilled in step four, but centered only 3/8” from the outside edge of the bracket.
If you did this step right these holes will be more ‘outboard’ than the existing mounting holes.
Step 6: Mount the brackets using the existing hardtop screws and bolt-in the basket using the provided hardware. I took someone else’s suggestion and used gaffer tape to protect contact surfaces and insulate for any metal to metal vibrations.
Once I had the whole thing bolted up it was solid as a rock. I literally could shake the entire jeep without one nanometer of rattle
Step 7: Self-congratulate. You owe yourself a trip to Moab !

I bought this shelf and attempted to install it like you have written out. I never could get it to work for me. I ended up buying the longer soft top bolts from the dealership, ripping a 2x4 down, drilling holes for the bolts to mount thru them, and screwing the shelf to the 2x4. I also mounted it in front of the roll bar but it could be done the same way in the original position around the roll bar. Works for me.Finally a quality, affordable and lightweight ALUMINUM interior storage rack for us (bad ass) 2 door JL owners !

Nice modified application. Looks like you may have put the wider bracket in the rear instead of toward the front.I bought this shelf and attempted to install it like you have written out.
