Received my trunk for the JKU. This trunk mounts where the hard top mounts and covers the entire rear deck. The first picture shows most of it in polished aluminum. The second picture shows it de-blinged. Remaining items are to clean it with mineral spirits, prime it with self-etching primer, paint it black, and then install. 😀

Where did you get it from? Is it a kit or something you made yourself? Very curious to see the finished product.

I ordered it from sictrunks.com. It's one guy out of NJ that makes them. A little pricey but it's 1/8 aluminum sheet, 3/16 aluminum connectors, and designed to fit. I don't have the tools or time right now to fab my own and wanted secure storage in my Jeep. This was the best design that I liked.

I plan on being there. I hope to get it installed tonight. I'll post more pics if I do. 🙂

Looks pretty awesome! Is there a load rating for it? Could you mount a rack on top for example?

I was thinking of mounting a rack at some point. I was told it can hold over 300lbs on top. Here's a pic with two guys standing on one...

I highly recommend getting the hard top retainer nuts. They make the install much easier.
