This first one, was a shelf I added to the back. I had been looking at the Olympic 4x4 Mountaineer rack, but just could not see spending $250 for it, so I used that as a start and built mine out of wood. It was a quick build and It needs some fit and finish on it, but it worked how I wanted it to.
The container on the top weighs about 40-50lbs and could easily take more. I need ot fix the drivers side and replace the long support 2x3's. I was going off the measurements of the Olympic one and their rack is notthe full widts between the bars, so when I actually cut the top I wanted full width, but I had already cut th esupports. No biggie, just a few dollars for a new 2x3 to replace those and make it a lot stronger. The top covers the entire back (28"x461/2") and used screw in eyelets for the tie downs. Once the fit is complete, I'll do a quick outdoor paint on it and cover it in black carpet that matches the floor carpeting.
My other mod was thanks to AZ Bulldog as he got me my new CO2 bottle and holder. I mounted it to the roll bar, but it will not be able to stay there when the top is up as it's too high due to the shelf. No idea where it will go with the top up, but it might be a strap in and go when I hit the trails and not leave it in all the time. We'll see though.

How did that ultimate air work out for you? Have you gotten a chance to use it yet?

For those of you that don;t view the Tucson thread, I permanantly installed my Ultimate-Air tank and installed a shelf for my camera that keeps it in easy reach but will not be bouncing around.

Here's the latest. I redid the shelf so I could fit the CO2. It now fully covers the back and has been carpeted.
Underside view, I added a light as it get's pretty dark in there.
