One of the most underutilized storage areas in the Jeep Wrangler JLU and Jeep Gladiator is the open space behind the soundbar.
For most owners, that area simply goes unused despite being easily accessible and perfectly positioned for gear organization, communications equipment, emergency equipment, and trail essentials.
We wanted a solution that transformed that wasted space into a functional mounting platform without sacrificing headroom or requiring complicated modifications.
The American Adventure Lab Rear Overhead MOLLE Shelf was designed specifically for the 2018-2023 Jeep Wrangler JLU and Jeep Gladiator JT. Positioned behind the front seats and integrated around the factory soundbar, this shelf creates a versatile overhead storage and mounting platform for MOLLE accessories, radios, Starlink Mini systems, fire extinguishers, recovery gear, and other adventure essentials.
