Jeep storage question

[BrandonTJ]

I found about 8 cubic feet of storage in my Jeep today. (46" wide x 24" deep x 12" high) It's above the rear cargo area from the top of the rear seatbelt mounts (upper) forward to the main hoop of the roll bar. Thinking of either putting a cargo net there for light stuff like sleeping bags, tents, and a duffel bag for clothes. Other option is to go beg Bob to make me a shelf there. Downside to a cargo net is that it'll flap and possibly droop in the middle. While a hard rack will be more expensive to have made and will probably be more difficult to remove.

Took some rope today and made a big spider web to hold gear. The only downside is a lack of rear vision through the rear view mirror. But would be a great excuse to remove the damned thing as I hate it anyway.

Looking for thoughts on the best material for the job.

Thanks,

Lost me at 8 cubic feet of space in the jeep  I have a simple solution for your rear view mirror dislike.. I turned mine 180 to the       12 O clock position, It moves it up out of the way, gives you a better view out the front windshield and you can still keep an eye on that hot blonde following you.

Yeah, I did the upside-down mirror trick too.

The space is the upper 1 foot in the cargo area - from the seat belt mounts up to the roof.
Gonna put some kind of cargo net up there to hold sleeping bags, tents and the like; bulky light weight stuff.
There's still room for my dog and a big box below.
