A cheap deck for your Jeep

I saw an add on Ebay for a rear cover for Wranglers, that would cover our valuables. Instead of paying the $75, I decided to build my own for my CJ, and possible make some improvementsm. Click on the picture for a larger image

Step 3

Now you need to cut out notches to make room for the tailgate. Cut off a a 3" square on both corners of one side

Staple some carpet to it. I used outdoor carpet, which you can buy by the foot

Step 6

Put latches on (I used the same type that come on foot chests). This allows you to snap your deck in and out, and will secure your valuables

I was going to do something simular to this too. But I have aluminum diamond floor plate to build a lockable tool box. Then place a removable pc of plywood with indoor/outdoor carpet for a platform for my dog Stupid to come with me.

Well that explains the three small holes that are drilled on the rear wheel wells on each side,i had a feeling thats what the prev.owner had done. Anyway i kinda liked the way yours turned out i may put it back that way...thanks

Thanks. It's a good way to keep casual thieves out of your stuff (it won't stop anyone serious though).
