Using a wire rack for overhead storage and fastening
There's a guy on ebay that sells great quality steel Molle stuff for jeeps. I've bought some of this stuff and had my eye on an overhead rack he makes.
However I really want a LOT of attachment area so I'm considering buying the Black Epoxy Coated Deluxe Grid Panel for Retail Display 2' x 4' Priced 3 Per Carton from Amazon for $52 delivered.
I measured the width of the Wrangler and see 3 areas where I can span this by securing to the roll bar padding.
This gives me aaaaallll that space to attach stuff, cables, electronics etc and maybe even my CB.
I already have tons of velcro, so my thoughts are to just use plastic wire ties and velcro to secure so it can't slide or bounce or rattle.
Thoughts?

Yup, I would need to super secure everything for sure or it will come tumbling down in the mountains.
I wouldn't want it to touch anything other than the roll bar pads and the stuff I attach to it needs to be cinched down tight.
Hey if you know some good wheelin and camping spots North of you, feel free to pass it on. When I head N I usually go to Canada.

I usually go to Walker Valley, right near Big Lake. There's also all kind of old forest service roads along the Mountain Loop Highway that lend themselves to a good time.

Thanks for that, I'm not overly familiar with anything North, but I love to primitive camp away from the state parks and camp grounds. I went out of Darrington one night, intend to go back and see how far back I can get.
