How do you securely lock the tailgate? If I lock the Jeep with the remote and have the top off all someone has to do is reach in and push the unlock button on the door and the get in the "trunk". Same thing applies if I lock the gate with the key. Am I missing something?

The problem with so many of these DIY solutions to me is that they are made of plywood. Sure, it's easy to get, very easy to work with, inexpensive. Most people have tools that will get the job done with materials from Home Depot.
But it will warp and swell and is generally not the right material to make something from that will live in a Jeep IMHO.

I have too much stuff in the back to even think of removing the top.

Besides, I usually have no doors in the summer so there are no door lock switches to push.

Yes it is a Sictrunk. Couldn't agree more. Frank took the time to answer all my questions and kept me updated on the progress during the build. I have since added some tie down tracks to secure cargo.
