Literally right before we left, a really simple piece that turned out to be a lifesaver showed up on the front porch. Researched a lot on options for a rear interior cargo rack and couldn't believe the price for some of those out in the market. Looked at all of the reviews and comparisons for products between $100-$500. Turns out, a lot of these parts suppliers must be assuming that if you have the JL, you can afford to throw money in the wind.
In all seriousness, this thing is a lifesaver if you're stacking stuff in the rear cargo. I can't say that I would put a ton of weight on this rack, but it worked to add a layer of cargo that would have otherwise just had to be packed on top of everything else. We put duffels, air mattresses, the liquor cabinet, folding chairs and coolers on the floor of the cargo area and then loaded up the rack with everything that we wanted to be able to access from the back seat or didn't want to unload during stops. Worked perfectly and would HIGHLY suggest this accessory for anyone loading down their cargo area.
The fit is perfect and the construction is simple. It certainly isn't top of the line, but it's less than half of the price than some other products on the market. Topped it off with a small cargo net for holding things in place...for reference, I could stand a half gallon of milk upright under the cargo not and it didn't fall over between the grocery store and the house....
Despite some negative reviews, I gambled on this rear rack off of Amazon: RT-TCZ Interior Rear Cargo Rack Luggage Storage Carrier Solid Metal Trunk Shelf for 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK JKU Unlimited & 2018-2020 JL JLU Unlimited, Interior Accessories
