The platform for pioneers
01 / A more organised Wrangler
The Cargo Shelf for the Jeep Wrangler JL
Anyone travelling in a Jeep Wrangler JLU knows you can never have too much space. On longer off-road trips or expeditions, equipment soon piles up to the roof. Yet valuable space between the headlining and headrests often goes unused — exactly where the new Cargo Shelf for the Jeep Wrangler JLU comes in.
02 / FIELD NOTE
Making smart use of the interior
The Cargo Shelf turns unused space beneath the roof into a sturdy, practical storage area. Sleeping bags, light bags, camping equipment or organisers — everything has its place. The shelf can be fitted in two positions:
High, directly beneath the roof — ideal for keeping storage largely out of your line of sight.
Low, at headrest height — perfect for equipment you want to reach quickly.
If you need to carry a lot, you can even install two shelves at once. Another option combines a high-mounted Cargo Shelf with an additional Expedition Shelf in the rear. This creates a modular system tailored to your individual needs.

Thoughtful details for off-road and everyday use
The Cargo Shelf is far more than just a shelf. Its designers considered many practical details:
MOLLE/PALS compatible: organisers, bags or accessories attach easily.
Universal perforations: Quick Fist or Fit-Rub clamps bolt straight on — ideal for a shovel, fire extinguisher or torch.
Folded edges: prevent equipment from sliding or falling out.
High front edge: doubles as an additional mounting surface for accessories.
Low vibration: the design prevents rattles and clatter, even on rough trails.
This makes the Cargo Shelf useful not only for expeditions and overlanding trips, but also for everyday tasks such as shopping or carrying sports equipment.

Verdict — organised by design
The Cargo Shelf for the Jeep Wrangler JLU is a small change with a big impact. It adds storage, keeps the interior organised and integrates seamlessly into the vehicle. MOLLE/PALS compatibility and the carefully designed hole pattern offer countless possibilities for personalised accessories.
On an expedition, a weekend trip or in everyday life, this shelving system shows that off-road equipment can be both robust and cleverly designed.
