Storage bags for rollbar advice

[AZMikeL]

With 2 dogs in the back and and a kid plus the small dog in the back seat, storage is at a premium. I've taken to strapping the recovery bag to the rollbar, but it's a PITA, and only buys so much space.

Trailer hitch basket is not so practical off-road!

I've seen some bags that strap in the sides of the rollbar, and am interested in something like that, plus anything I can hang/mount to the center section as well.

What are you using?

Sounds like you need a roof rack.

I have the XG for my Wrangler and tried to fit them in the bronco but they are too large. What I liked about them is they go on the back side of the roll bar. So what XG is going to make some that fit, they're going to have to be smaller (And honestly I felt like they were just barely big enough for my Jeep).

So instead I got the Amazon bags that go in front...

you can also add an attic tray to increase storage.

I think some owners are installing the molle panels that attach to the roll bars, and finding a molle bag that works. The above roll bar specific bag might be more of what you’re looking for though.

Roof rack seems like the choice for the most amount of space but I'd echo the molle panels and attic.

Roof rack not an option due to soft top and garage clearance.

Any little bit help, so, I ordered a set of these - was worried about fitment with soft top, but then watched the video where the guy installed with the soft top on. Extra bonus, 10% off when you buy 2 items, so I got this as well for $1.14 more.

Will need to search attic trays. One of the dogs is a 95lb lab, so she needs a lot of headroom - and the back always needs the shop vac after she rides in it!

Lol... I thought that little bag as well for my wife's phone.

Between those bags and an attic tray of sorts you can fit a ton of stuff. Always a balance for sure.

I just bought this:

It will give you more storage space and keep the stuff out of the way.

Only for 4 door? I would have expected them to be universal but maybe the 2 door area under the roll bar is just that much smaller?

I like that solution, but a bit spendy. Will need to put it on my b-day list. Or better yet, father's day which is 3 months sooner.

At first I thought it was a bit much, but when you look at the price of Molle panel's, it is in that same price range. I showed it to my wife expecting a "maybe next Christmas" answer, but she loves the idea and told me to go ahead. That made it a no brainer for me.

I was finishing up my cargo area yesterday, and I wanted to pass along some info for you.

Here is everything that I had in those 2 bags.... So you can fit quite a lot...

In addition, When it comes to those attic trays, what you really need are the two side brackets.. They cost $200.

To go across the top, you have options. I know this is totally ghetto, but had I taken the time to actually paint it black You wouldn't even notice it. But this is a 1' wide wire shelf mounted to those side brackets, Above it I have a yankim rope and other stuff, and my traction boards are hanging below it (So if you don't have the traction boards it takes up hardly any room). And the shelf was like $25 at lowes/home depot.

(If you look closely you can see those roll cage bags)

No the area under the rollbar is actually bigger on the 2-door, but the angles are different, so that is probably why.
