2-Door Support
Currently, this shelf only supports the JLU (4-door). We will be releasing a 2-door version.
Important Powder Coating Note
Powder coating is a manual process done by humans and may take some time. When you purchase powder coated products from AAL, we coat them for your order. Occasionally, that means delays with non-standard colors, resprays for less-than-perfect conditions, etc. We have a very high standard with powder coated products. We will work to get your parts coated in the best condition possible before they leave the building.
If you select “Powder Coat the Steel Components Only”, those parts will be powder coated textured black.
Please visit our Powder Coating Page for more info.

Multiple Materials
We combine three different materials to provide ultimate strength and still keep it as light weight as possible.
- 1/8″ steel for the vertical supports that attach to the roll bar for superior strength and lateral stability.
- 1/8″ steel for the side spreaders. This ensures that the platform parts are able to strong over the entire span of the shelf.
- 1/8″ aluminum for the platform parts. This is where we can save some weight. Due to the mounting method, we are able to reduce the weight of the largest components in the rack.
- 1/8″ steel for the vertical, under-platform supports. Here’s where we got fancy. The vertical steel supports bolt in and provide a huge amount of vertical strength.
- 1/8″ steel for the edge guards to provide maximum strength for securing cargo.
Innovative Connection Design
This is my favorite part of the shelf. This joint provides maximum lateral rigidity. You won’t believe how sturdy this shelf is once it’s mounted. We take great pride in our ability to maximize the efficiency of our designs using features such as this. This joint is located at all four corners of the shelf.
Limitless Mounting Options
It’s your Jeep. You should optimize the gear however you need to make the most of your adventure. With the vertical cutouts in the front and rear of the shelf, you can use Single Stud Tie Rings or the new VersaTie Hook from Mac’s to make your setup just perfect for your need.

Solid design and construction. The design pattern provides lots of options to tie cargo down. Easy install, follow the instruction. The shelf height is adjustable. I have one of the very larger fridge and drawer units in my JL and the shelf fits perfectly. If you get it painted, the quality of the powder coating is outstanding. Painted parts are exceptionally wrapped for shipping. Have used this shelf on several extended overland trips and I am convinced this company pays attention to detail and quality. Time for me to order more products from them!
Sales Sales –
Thank you, David! We are glad you’re enjoying your shelf.

Very stout construction! The design is very well thought out and the tolerances were really tight, amazingly so. The powder coating was perfect.

The AAL cargo shelf is outstanding! I have onboard 10g water tank mounted on it and my Keurig coffee maker. I needed the adjustability and the option to take the rails off is a plus.

Best tailgate table on the market! You can’t find a table with this many options. I would of liked to see a slide out but this table is well worth the money spent!
Mike L (verified owner) –
Very happy with the fit and finish on this product. It is well thought out and exceptionally sturdy. The shelf went together and installed easily. I’m waiting on a fridge slide so I will probably need to adjust height again but that will be simple. If anything it might just be overbuilt as I would try to keep heavier items lower in the Jeep. At least I will never have to worry about it being overloaded.
