One mans trash is another mans storage racks!
« on: July 21, 2014, 11:57:21 PM »

Liberated these (bet no-one knows what they are originally from!) from a pile of junk, thinking they might have potential as external storage racks for the YJ. Itwasn't till i got them home and positioned them i realized just how right i was.
I'd say they are a perfect size! Just have to clean them up, make mounts and paint them.
The bottom one will mount to the receiver hitch, and ideally i'm going to figure out a way to make the mounting arm swing down and double as free standing table when camping.

I had my eye on some Portacabin window mesh, but they were fitted before I had chance to grab them.

Pic.. I bought it to go greenlaneing about 3 year ago. Made a bracket that fits behind the spare tyre bracket on tailgate.  Only use for one weekend then in garrage at home somewhere. Bestop highrock 41444-01 I think

If UKJeeper doesn't want it, I will.  Can collect at Jeepey as well.   Been looking at importing from the USA, but they are not cheap to ship.

These are the Portacabin window protectors I had my eye on.  Unfortunately, they will soon be fitted to one of the cabins.  Anyway, I think they are too big for the back of the TJ (at least that's what I keep telling myself).
