Jeep Storage Hacking – Guide To Making The Most Of Your Trunk Space

Jeep’s Wrangler is one of the most popular models around, with a fantastic following in North America and around the world. However, since the Wrangler is a compact (in two-door) or midsize (in four-door) off-roader, finding the space to fit all your paraphernalia can be somewhat daunting. In this article, we will show you how to make the most of your Jeep Wrangler trunk storage, with our tips and comprehensive lineup of Jeep storage products. With 4 Wheel Parts, you’re absolutely safe, as we are a trusted online and physical retailer, deal in the best quality products, and offer warranties where applicable.

Benefits Of Upgrading Your Jeep Storage

Why should I upgrade my Jeep storage? Well, for starters, it helps you carry more during a long trip, especially if it’s into the great outdoors where a convenience store isn’t a simple walk or drive away. Enhancing your Jeep Wrangler’s storage capacity means that you spend less time choosing what to bring, or inadvertently sacrificing something critical. After all, it’s always better to be over-prepared than under-prepared.

Upgrading your Jeep storage needn’t be expensive either, as there are products for every wallet, depending on whether you want to start small or go the full distance. Don’t think that upgrading your Jeep’s storage is only for the trails, as you’ll soon discover the versatility of your upgrades on the regular office, school, and shopping runs too.

Best Storage Products For Your Jeep

Here’s our roundup of the best products that we feel will enhance your Jeep Wrangler’s storage spaces and enrich your life on, and off-road.

Bestop Underseat Lock Box

A lockbox is critical, and that needn’t be the case when only on the trails. Imagine you’re lost at night and have to stay at a dodgy motel. You don’t know how good the room door locks are, but you do know that your Jeep’s locks are better, and the Bestop Underseat Lock Box has a lock too. Concealed beneath the seat, you could have jewelry or essential documents stashed away, and nobody will be the wiser.

Rightline Gear Soft Top Window Storage Bags

One of the great things about the Wrangler is the soft top that allows you to remove the top and its windows, to enjoy open-air motoring. However, if you just toss the windows aside, they’re bound to be damaged or, at the least, scratched. That’s why this Rightline Gear Soft Top Window Storage Bag is essential to keep them safe, especially if you’ve packed the trunk with luggage.

Vertically Driven Products Overhead Jeep Shelf

Make use of the space offered by your windshield’s top area with the Vertically Driven Products Overhead Jeep Shelf that mounts to the top of your windshield. The two large storage compartments are perfect for stashing away small items.

Bestop Roughrider Underseat Organizer

Underneath the seats is another area of dead space, which this Bestop Roughrider Underseat Organizer takes advantage of. Custom-made for the Wrangler JL, it’s perfect for stowing soft and small items.

Bestop Roughrider Cargo Trunk Organizer

Much like the previous product, the Bestop Roughrider Cargo Trunk Organizer is custom-made for the Wrangler JL, and provides you with a great solution to keep your loose cargo safe and secure.

Smittybilt Off-Road Organizer

Custom-made to fit all Jeep gloveboxes, this Smittybilt Off-Road Organizer is great for holding documents such as owners’ manuals, maps, vehicle and insurance documents, and information sheets in one place, making it easy to find them when necessary.

ARB Outback Solutions Cargo Drawer

The ARB Outback Solutions Cargo Drawer is a rather involved fit, as it’s basically a bolt-on modification to your Wrangler’s trunk. It doesn’t fit all Wrangler trims, so check with us before buying yours.

Other Jeep Trunk Hacks

We’ve given you some great ideas in the previous section that will make your Wrangler a cargo king without sacrificing any passenger space. Now let us show you some tips and hacks for your trunk that will further enhance your experience and can be done even if you don’t want to purchase a cargo drawer or trunk organizer just yet.

  • Use cargo nets and cloth bags to keep small and loose items from rolling around.
  • Plastic trays are another great way to keep things safe in the trunk.
  • When packing for a trip, try to use soft bags as much as possible, as these can be shaped and crammed into nooks and crannies.
  • Always pack your bags with the heaviest and least breakable items at the bottom, and the most delicate items should be adequately cushioned. 
  • When packing the trunk, the heaviest bags go at the bottom and the ones containing delicate items should be left at the top.
  • Check and double-check that the packed items do not interfere with the trunk mechanism in any way, won’t get caught in it, or worse, break when the trunk hatch is closed.
  • Frequently clean out and vacuum your trunk, trunk carpets, and any other mats. You don’t want dirt and grime to accumulate there.
