Cargo box for Jeep XJ

Here's a quick look at my DIY cargo box we made for our jeep named "Zoe". It's made from 3/4" birch for its decent strength and lighter weight. The door is 1/2" and it has sash style locks, turnbuckle tie downs, and covered with polymat carpet. The dimensions are 42"W x24"D x14"1/2 H. It has a sliding table underneath with 100lbs capacity slides and is locked in place with small clevis pins. It all fits under a Ford Explorer cargo cover and stock XJ plastic hardware. The fire extinguisher is a first alert for auto, and I pieced together a first aid kit for emergencies. Flashlight is a Maglite mini pro AA led.

Thanks for watching. It's 42" inches wide by 24" inches deep and 14 and 1/2" inches tall. Wood is 3/4" inch birch plywood for lightness and strength. Door is 1/2" inch thick.

I was about to say that the flip door would make a great tailgate or cooking surface, then you slid out a full kitchen table...well play'd.

@zoexj4872 4 года назад

LOL, Now if I could just find a better way to keep the sliding table open.

Thanks for sharing your bugout kit and for pulling out all your items you had so perfectly organized.

Thank you for taking the time to watch the video. Stay safe.

Excellent design.

@zoexj4872 5 лет назад

Thank you, Steve! The slide out table is also 3/4" birch. I added 1/2" wide x 1&1/2" tall x 24" long scrap wood attached to either side of the table so I had some room to attach the slides. Then I glued and brad nailed the front fascia after measuring and centering the hardware to pull out the table. I dont think I should have done that because if I ever have to replace the hardware, I literally have to pry or break the fascia to separate it from the table. Good luck with yours. I'd like to see it. Questions? Let me know. Take care.

Great video and sense of humour 😀. Thanks for sharing! Your design is really clever and I think that’s probably how I’d go about myself when I purchase the right XJ. I like how it’s something removable if you’re going to trade it for another XJ but sturdy enough that it’s not moving around or loose in any way. Great solution!

Thank you for watching! I appreciate your time. Good luck with an XJ.

Thanks Hunter! I appreciate you watching. You just never know what will come your way. Take care and be safe!

Probably the best design I’ve seen for a cargo box. Going to use this as inspiration to build mine. I love the flip down cover, latches are unique as well. For the bottom slide out table, what material was used for that?

Can you post exact deminsons and materials list please? Perfect video by the way.

@BushmanofYukon 10 месяцев назад

Nice work man. Looks good. So what are the exact dimensions of the box please. And thickness of plywood. My cherokee is in the shop getting an extreme overhaul so I'm unable to measure it. Thanks.

Nice my friend ,hope u are doing fain nice to see you and i migth need like 10 stickers

@travisrscott75 4 года назад

Use your clevis pins to hold the table open as well as holding it closed

@zoexj4872 4 года назад

Hey Travis, Yeah I thought about that, but the slides telescope out from each other and I can't drill into the slides to screw in an eye hook. Otherwise the slides won't work. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Sir, what is your opinion of the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy if you don't believe in Santa? I really liked your video and the drop down lid. Lots of useful gear in the ammo cans! Stay safe.

@zoexj4872 4 года назад

Marcus, Thanks for watching. In my opinion, the Easter bunny is a hare underated, and trying to get money from the Tooth fairy is like pulling teeth.

Would like to know how you added that cargo cover I used to have a 94 ford explore a couple of years ago I still have the cargo cover and now I have a 99 jeep xj I would like to install on. Any tips?

@zoexj4872 4 года назад

Hey Gabriel, Yeah, so check out my other video titled "my XJ Cherokee walkaround part 2." About 7 minutes and 20 seconds into the video I talk about the cover install. One thing I forgot to mention was I removed the original metal grab bar that you grab hold of to pull out. I replaced it with an aluminum rod trimmed to fit the narrower Cherokee hatch opening. I'll try and do a better video showing how easy it is. Keep an eye out at the junk yard for the stock XJ pieces that hold the cargo cover in place. I believe you can still get some on the internet. Take care and thanks for watching.

@FerrariLamborghini24 2 года назад

What year did you use for the Ford Explorer cargo cover. Where did you get XJ hardware for the cargo cover

@zoexj4872 2 года назад

Hello, Sorry it took so long to answer. The cargo cover is from any Explorer from 96 to 2001. The hardware is from the earlier cherokees from about 87 to 93. The only modification was to cut the pull bar slightly shorter to fit in between the cherokee cargo hatch where it secures in the closed position.

@zoexj4872 2 года назад

@@FerrariLamborghini24 Thats a nice compliment. But I don't think it would be worth it for you. They're really easy to make. Just build a box, throw on some drawer slides and mount it using turnbuckle. ALOT CHEAPER if you do it.
