I have a collapsable cargo bag for my groceries. Everything else, I use bungee cords!!! The roll bars are great for securing bigger items, like my top panels.

I was not going to post anything about this because I planned to find an inexpensive supplier and E-Bay them however I can't find a cost for me that I can make money selling them at an affordable price.

While at the local Dollar General (not a dollar store but kind of like a mini Big Lots) we found a rooftop cargo bag in a rather medium/small size ($5.00 clearance). It has clips on the bottom and a zipper that runs 3/4 of the way around. I clipped it to the tie down points on the back of the seat and lay it in the back of the jeep. I now have a water resistant bag that I can stuff things into to keep them in place and from blowing out while door/topless. I will take pictures the next time we have it loaded up and post them.

Guys I bought a pickup bed cargo bar, the bar adjusts in and out and also has padded ends that screw in and out to tighten the bar against the sides of the cargo area, $12 bucks @harbor freight. GREAT for holding grocery bags upright, also you can bungee cord anything to it.....

Use the factory supplied cargo tie-downs....

Oh, wait...nevermind. You can't, because THEY AREN'T THERE .....


(anybody who was here a year or so ago probably knows what I'm talking about here. Those who weren't....well, nevermind. There were never any cargo tie downs)

I just have a couple of water tight river bags that I keep attached to the rear seat tie downs with some velcro straps from the local boating store.

I have the Husky mat, too and I like it alot. Things do slide around, though. Rather than trying to stop it, I picked up a couple of milk crates from Wal Mart to just contain things. They still slide around a little, but at least they are contained.

A milk crate, bunjis and a plastic Rubbermaid tub. Works pretty good so far.

You can get everything you need to install factory tie-downs from the dealer for around $20 and install them yourself. It's easy to do.
Go here https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/show...e+downs&page=3 and look at post #26. All the part numbers are there.
