That Actually Work
Maximize space, stay organized, and keep trail essentials within reach
Jeep Wranglers are legendary for adventure but not for storage. Their boxy design and limited cargo space make organization one of the biggest challenges for Jeep owners. After years of wheeling, traveling, camping, and daily driving my Wrangler, I’ve tested more storage setups than I can count.

Top 5 Storage Solutions for My Jeep
UPDATED: My Storage Solutions for my Jeep
These are my Top 7 Jeep storage solutions. The ones that still earn a permanent spot in my Jeep.
1. The Jeep Attic (Overhead Molle Shelf)
My #1 must-have. This steel molle platform shelf mounts above the rear seats and instantly provides extra space without crowding passengers.
Perfect for storing:
-
jackets
-
recovery gloves
-
soft bags
-
camp gear
-
trail snacks
Why it works:
It uses completely wasted overhead space while keeping frequently used items easy to grab.

2. The Jeep Basement (Under-Seat Storage)
This hidden area under the front seats is ideal for storing essential recovery gear.
Under my driver's seat, I stash:
-
recovery strap
-
tree saver
-
gloves
-
snatch block
-
shackles (soft and hard)
Why it works:
When you’re mid-trail and someone needs a pull, you don’t want to unload your entire cargo area. Under-seat storage means quick access every time.

3. Trunk Molle Storage (Over the Inner Fender Wells)
Using the space above your rear inner fenders adds organization without sacrificing trunk space.
Great for storing:
-
tools
-
first aid kits
-
soft bags
-
cleaners
-
accessories
There’s even a bonus: extra space between the molle panel and the fender well.
Why it works:
It organizes awkward cargo areas while still leaving room for bigger gear.

electronics

chargers
-
small tools

maps and notebooks

6. Roll-Bar Mounted Storage Bags
A smart use of vertical space that otherwise goes completely unused. Roll-bar bags attach to your sport bars with heavy-duty Velcro straps.
Perfect for storing:
-
sunscreen
-
bug spray
-
headlamps
-
radios
-
trail snacks
-
small recovery accessories
-
first aid items
Why it works:
They’re accessible whether you run doors on or off, and they keep small items from rolling around your Jeep. Great for daily driving AND off-roading.
7. JK Pockets (Inner Door & Dash Storage Inserts)
These are a hidden gem for Jeep JK owners. JK Pockets snap into unused interior spaces—like the dead areas on your doors, under the dash, or next to the center console—to create instant extra compartments.
Perfect for storing:
-
sunglasses
-
your phone
-
chapstick
-
pocket knives
-
garage door openers
-
trail permits
Why it works:
Wranglers have tons of dead interior space—these pockets fill those gaps beautifully. They’re inexpensive, lightweight, and make everyday driving WAY more convenient.
