It took me hours last night while watching youtube, while the wife was out with friendsIt's almost like you transcribed your ENTIRE thought process!
App, on the uconnect touchscreen?Just use the backup camera! I have this app as a shortcut and use it frequently when driving because it gives a really wide angle without blind spots. Maybe novelty use now, but nonetheless an option!
I looked up the height of brute garbage cans, so I knew it could fit. Now i have to see if I can build a shelf at 7" off the bed height (equal to the 2x4 for plywood hauling height), with 2 slide out drawers below it and a 44x2?x6" water tank, if I can still fit 2 garbage cans above the 7" shelf, but below the plywood topper.My gut thought was that garbage cans are too tall for a topper and that would eliminate a purchased topper altogether since this goes against your 'Must Haves'. I had to see for myself. Here's a pic of a standard size garbage can in the back of the JT. About nine inches to spare on the top!
Great suggestion. I was thinking something similar. Need to rough sketch it to post.Well if it were me: Since the bed will hold your logistical support package, I would build a dog house that slides in/out. I would have doors that opened by lifting or folding down on each side, giving you access to your equipment. In the rear, I would do a split door, the upper opening dual doors out to each side and the lower door folding down across the tailgate to use as a work table to prepare meals etc.
Put handles at all 4 corners and build or buy a table with rolers on each foot. Shorten the legs to be flat with the tailgate coming down. Come home from the camping trip, and drag the doghouse off and onto the table, roll it into your garage.
