curious to know where can I find this besides the dealer?

They have it for $73 (scroll down towards the bottom). My wife got them for me for my birthday. They do the trick, and are out of the way. However, they are woefully overpriced.

OK here is my bad picture, taken in the dark with evidence of Chicago salt stains. The bag is empty thus "poofy" in appearance, and the zipper is on top. I would imagine the way to use this is undo the strap that goes around the top of the headrests, while keeping the bottom clips intact. They you would lay the bag flat onto the cargo floor, so that the zippered top would be by the tailgate. There you would load or unload the top panels, then lift the bag back into place. I tried this without the panels in place and it appears to clear the subwoofer. If not it would be a hassle to load the bag outside the vehicle, hoist it into place and secure it. I won't do an actual dry run until it gets warmer around here. As you can see it doesn't take up that much room which is why I like it.

The previous post has another picture on the jeepareus site.

Okay, I also found the spare tire mounting top carrier on Mopar's website finally, part number 82210483, but the silly thing is $300! I'd have to see one before I bought it at that price, maybe my dealer can bring one in so I can have a look at it.

In the meantime, wmaloney's solution looks like it might work pretty well, but even $70 some odd dolars is kinda steep for all this...maybe I can hack job one together...

Cheap solution...
 
These carriers are OVERPRICED! I am thinking about just cutting a piece of a $5 egg-crate foam mattress cover, sticking it between the panels then bungee cording the panels to the rear seat headrests. Going to try it this weekend. Should be about an under $10 solution not $60-300:thinking:
