    XK Rear Cargo Storage Box

    The Steel Armadillo is glad to be able to add another product to our line of quality products for the Jeep Commander. We have just completed the prototype for the Rear Cargo Storage Box and although this is just the prototype it looks like it will be an affordable addition to your Commander.





    You will have to remove your third row seat to fully install this item but it looks like it will lay across the top if you choose to leave your third row seats installed.







    The prototype unit weighs 80 lbs and is approximately 34" deep x 42.5" wide and 6" tall, it looks as if I can add another 1.5" to the final version.

    The current lock is under review as I may change the style to those found on cargo beds on utility trucks for even more security as that would have a locking mechanism that turns and locks in to both sides instead on one center point.



    The prototype is 1" too long for those who have the rear air crossover and the production model will be shorted by 1" to accommodate that.



    There will be a final accessory to install between the box and the tailgate trim which will cover the plastic crossover tube for those with the rear air.

    Please check out the photos, ask questions and help me make this the perfect upgrade for your interior.

    The prototype is available for sale and testing to the first person who wants it, I cannot install it in my jeep because I have the rear air and it will not clear the duct unless I trim the plastic (which could be done with very little effort if you want to do so and the air will still flow).

    Production run will be $495 and I have to make 5 to make any money on these (but I need one of the five).

    The prototype is $450 plus shipping.

    Have you ever looked into Greyhound for shipping? I remember guys who used them for shipping axles and other heavy/large items and saved LOTS of money. The caveat is you have to drop of, and the buyer needs to pick up at Greyhound locations. But hell if it saves $200+ in shipping I don't mind driving 30-40 minutes to the bus station and picking it up!

    Does it sit flat or raised by the spare tire crank bolt?
