Overhead Upper Locking Storage Box for cargo area (Hooke Road)

[Fezzik]

Just what I was was wondering. It seems to me since the bottom panel is hinged to open, you strap stuff onto the molle panel which, I assume, is also hinged. So whatever you have must be strap-able, then you raise that into position and clip it, then raise the solid panel up and lock that.

Not exactly convenient.

@Fezzik @jtgensler I noticed the strange combo of vehicle makes on "frequently bought together," and computed that the chances of somebody with these three makes wanting these three products are 1 to the 345,678 power.

So, you’re saying there’s a chance!

But this one may call for a few parallel universes to work out.

If you need someone to install, post pictures, and write a review, I’m your guy.

Maybe I’m looking at this wrong, but it looks like once you open it up, all your stuff falls out

You’ll appreciate the design if you roll your Bronco.

Does it not fit the 2D? I thought the roll bars were the same.

Roll bars may be the same but the length of the back isn't the same I believe.

After looking at the pictures I think it is a great concept. If it was 2 or 3 inches shorter from the rear window I think it would be perfect without obstructing the rear view mirror much. My rear dash cam is mounted on the top rear glass and looks like the storage unit goes right to the glass almost. Also if I went with the TOR hardtop with the slight rear slant, I think the box wouldn't fit also along with the rear dash cam.

1^345,678 = 1

1^345,678 = 1

Oops!

1^345,678 = 1

and equal to 1^0 power.

Definitely not the same. The roll bar on the 2dr is more vertical at the rear, while the roll bar on the 4dr is more angled allowing more room to mount this storage box between the top and the roll bar itself. View attachment 781193 View attachment 781192

Yes! Another example of 4-door superiority!

Looks like a great idea but the access door being under the box doesn't allow you to just put stuff in it and lock it. Someone else also mentioned, everything appears to need to be strapped in. Maybe if there was a door on the rear facing side it would be more useful.

That occurred to me, but if you look at the photo array on the Hooke website you'll see that the rear hatch struts and rear-roof wrap around would interfere with the box door's swing. Either make it smaller so it opens to the (vertical) rear panel, which means reduced lateral space, and so much for storing a full-size rifle up there. Which would have to be strapped into the "convenient molle" (ha!), raised and latched in, then the outer door raised and double-locked. I think somebody tried too hard to utilize a couple of cubic feet up there. My take is it's more bother than it's worth.

Now this guy came up with a somewhat usable rack for that space, but if you click on his site you'll see more images. He's a Brono6G sponsor, too, small fabricator in Utah.

I like it and will consider it as an add-on and it might be too late (maybe consider for a future mod), but having two doors that can be operated independently, one that swings down (current design and would could act like a floor if the back facing door was used) and a smaller door facing back/outward that swings up to allow you to store lose items that don't need to be tied to the molle swing down door. It would make it a bit more flexible in how it was used.
