Mountains2Metal's New Flip Down Attic Shelf

[OBXBRONCO]

I wanna see this, as I use both.
Fridge is pretty common.
I just carry the griddle in a zip up Blackstone bag and cram it wherever it fits without crunching something under it.

Now you just need a swivel chair & umbrella to sit in between it all & start serving up the food

First wheeling trip with the puppy this past weekend and discovered another benefit of the flip-down attic shelf. With the top folded down and the attic shelf in place he had all the fresh air and visibility he could want but couldn't randomly jump out of the truck.

His dog bed fits perfectly behind the rear seat so he was as comfy as I could make him. We'd let him out anytime we'd stop and he was always happy to jump back in when it was time to get moving again.

He's eyeing those wavy Lays much like I do.

The guys working inspection at check-in got a solid laugh out of the stockpile of snacks in the back seat. Chips, drinks, candy, granola bars, fruit rollups, popcorn, lunchables, and a bunch of other stuff. Thankfully the dog knows he'll never go hungry so he's not too much of an opportunist when stuff's left lying around

My son's dog is not food-driven either and it blows my mind.
BOTH of mine will resort to parkour and/or danger to life and limb if they think they can get to a raised surface to get anything even resembling something edible.
I am working on the puppy, though. He now waits and takes anything by hand somewhat gingerly when I say "easy, be easy." Before he would launch himself skyward to snatch whatever it was out of your hand as you walked.
It's probably a self-inflicted predicament. We house trained them with offering small treats when they waited to go once they went outside.

LMAO I can picture the puppy kitchen parkour. Our last dog (treeing walker coonhound) was motivated by food and walks and that's about it. I can't count the number of cupcakes he stole off the counter over the years.

Even with training so much of it comes down to the dog's personality. The dog we have now (50/50 shepherd/doberman) is 100% goofy energetic love. He regularly hears "gentle....be gentle..." when he's playing with the cats or being given a cheeseburger and seems to get it.

There was a 3yo girl in our group this weekend and he listened to everything she said to him. It was really adorable watching him sit for a girl that was shorter than he is. Being able to bring him on trips has been a game changer.

When we're home it's the cat that's all about stealing steaks off the counter but that's another story

All our animals have been rescues and each came with amusing personality quirks. It keeps life interesting.

Anyone with experience mounting this with the Turn Off-road Hardtop? Since the rear is slanted more forward than stock, wondering if this Mountains2Metal item will fit.

I have both and yes, no problem.

Ditto here. Works just fine

Can this shelf be used as a mounting location for a radio body (with separate control head that would go up front)? Is the shelf grounded to the chassis when it's attached to the roll cage?

I wouldn’t be confident in bonding/grounding as is, however, you could add some copper bonding straps between the shelf and hinge bracket attachment points which wouldn’t be a bad idea in any case. I could see mounting a radio on the shelf for a remote control head located near the driver, but you’d likely want to use some vibration isolators to protect the electronics. It would certainly help with easier routing for an antenna RF cable assuming you’d want to mount at/near the spare tire mount. There are a good share of options on the market for that.

Thank you!

We are thinking of this for our Starlink. Gotta make sure the role bar won’t be in the way when the tray is flipped up. Great idea regardless.
