Looking for "attic" storage solutions that you may have found/used. Only one I've found is the blue ridge overland net. Which looks sufficient, but if something else is out there I'd like to see it. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your post. I was thinking about attic storage but I had not found Blue Ridge Overland Gear. I just placed an order.

MOLLE platform solutions overhead MOLLE racks.

I have them front and rear, there’s even a little space above for books, iPads, laptops, Santa hats ??

Also, XG Cargo bags if you’re just looking for “free” storage room

Her is what I did. Works great and I can not see it in the rear view mirror
Holds all my recovery gear
Morryde overhead storage
custom installed
Took the top off so I could install Steel Cross Nut Pre-Bulbed , Size 1/4-20 on the top of the roll bar
Made a better support rods when stored in the up position
The threaded rod that you see that holds my lower support rods also work as a stop for the box in the down position

My other attic storage
Hooke Road Rear Overhead MOLLE Panel
Only I dropped it 1in. and added a hinge to one side and nobs to the other side
Looks great! What did you use for the hinge, happen to have a link for that or the knobs? Thanks!

I have a 2 door so my options are even more limited. I was just looking for something to sit behind the speaker bar attached to the roll bars.

I picked up a canvas webbing that’ll go across so I can clip molle things to it and store stuff between the top and the net.
Have bunch recovery gear and need room to clear out the back more for the dogs.
It’s supposed to arrive today. I’ll throw up pics later if it works like I’m hoping?

Another soft option is the Gear Spot: https://www.thegearspot.com/

We have one, but weren't happy with the tendency to get loaded and impact the usability of the rear view mirror.

There is more to the installation than just nobs and hinges
Remind me next week when I get home from the Jeep Rubicon jamboree to send more pictures
Thanks

Hoe much distance do/can you get from the roof for storage? Is it only like an inch or so? I like it, but I’m trying figure out what kind of items you can easily get in and out up there.

Thanks!

Its 2.5 in. storage space
I am 5.9 tall and have plenty of head room
You could put a larger spacer and get more storage room
I have not had a 6.4 person in the back yet so not sure how they will fit
For about $120 its not bad to get some of you stuff out of the way
