Let's see your 2 DR rear basket/tray/shelf

[Q1svt]

are converting it to a 2-tier shelf system?

Yes… I liked their design and quality… It’s early to adapt.

Seats laid flat, 2x6 framework, 2 locking 3U rack mount drawers, 42" x 41" x 3/4" plywood deck and rubber matting.. $80.00 and a couple of hours.

Late to the party, but here is mine. M2M rear cargo shelf and side mole panels. Only drawback with it for my setup is my modified hoake road hardtop lift won’t fit between the shelf and the top glass opening. To remove the hardtop I have to empty the shelf, take three bolts out of each side of it and swing it down out of the way.

Another vote for JCR. No frills, it’s good. You don’t need the molle panels. Installed in about 15 minutes. Rear seats can be up or down. You can fit a carry-on bag underneath with ease. No rattles.

How did you mount without the mole panels on a 2 door? That looks like a jcr and not m2m

Whoops! You’re right, JCR. My bad!

Any JCR discount codes?

and there goes November... would you know if they have another update? Or if they are going to pursue it?

Sorry, Haven't been on here in awhile. I still really like this setup.
Not sure AAL is going to go any further on this. Here is my contact. Feel free to reach out to James:

Here 's mine. Its' an American Adventure Lab prototype that I've been running for the last couple of months. The thing that's unique about this is that it doesn't kill the use of the back seats. You can use it with your seats up, or fold your seats down and expand it for more room. The expansion almost doubles the size of the shelf.
The performance is great! I went on an EXO Baja run in September and it helped me handle what you see in the picture plus extra room in the rear seat area. Everything is strapped down to the shelf and the AAL floor system. It also serves a a great mounting location for my fire extinguisher and Apex mini reel.
AAL is telling me that they plan to make it available sometime in November.

@TXDOZER can you share how you mounted your apex reel? Did you attach a mount to your AAL shelf and just place the reel flush against the roll bar (but not bolt into the roll bar) or did you actually just mount to the roll bar and leave room for your shelf? Trying to figure out the best mounting approach for the same reel. Did you fab your own bracket to mount or use an off the shelf bracket? Thanks

AAL did the install. My Bronco is in the shop until late next week. I’ll see if I can get a good pic of the install.
In the meantime I’ll send what I’ve got.

This is the best I have for now. It’s mounted to the shelf bracket. Same for my fire extinguisher on the other side.

Thank you. This helps a lot. I can see now that the shelf includes a large bracket on both sides of the top bar for attaching items and that is what you leveraged. Makes sense.
