Installing a Vector Offroad GGB Cargo Rack In My Jeep

Күн бұрын

It’s been long overdue. Between having 2 dogs and 2 kids, space can start getting tight in the Jeep. I hate having a cargo area that is cluttered and unorganized. And on the trails, that can get dangerous
I just made the switch over to the Vector Offroad GGB cargo basket. This will work on any year JKU 07-18, Vector also has a model for the 2 Door, however it mounts differently, and honestly it is completely different lol. Vector also has a model for the JLU. Sadly this rack will only work with jeeps that are equipped with hardtops (or run with no top at all). While it is a little expensive, the quality and added storage room is worth the price.
Vector also sells a cheaper, more “bare bones” rack, called the highland. It would still be a great choice, but for my Jeep I wanted the wrap around barrier.
Stay tuned for upcoming videos! I still need to wrap up the 1 ton swap series with the “final cost” video. And of course it’s time to start hitting the trails now that the weather is nice!
vectoroffroad....
I also added a set of Molle Platform solution tie downs, paired with some GPCA hard top knobs (these are big and easy to take off!)

Everyone needs a little blue sand shovel ! Love it ! Maybe my next mod?

Yeah been thinking about this dance/jigsaw in my head too I have a power tank & propane tank mounted on my roll bars & a tuffy storage box in the back. It works but would like to add a fridge & slider & so need something higher for the storage rack But don’t want to give up the propane & power thanks mounted to the roll bars. Hmm Thanks for showing this & the power thank on them bottom. Good idea

Excellent video. I have a rack from tuffy that has been great for easier storage. Four side rails for straps. And it lifts up to full vertical if I have something tall. My rack is level with the tailgate, which allows for secure storage with top/doors off and locking the tailgate. No, I don't have a dog yet, but he may just ride in the rear seat. Keep the great videos coming, as I think I still have some money left to spend.

Great looking product! It looks very well made and sturdy. And of course, you can't go wrong with the power coating. However, I do agree with everyone else here that the price is way too high. Hopefully in time it will come down a bit, or perhaps we should wait till Vector has some sort of promotion that gives a discount. On a side note, I wonder if they have/sell a rubber fitted mat that goes on the bottom of the rack to keep things from sliding around or marring up the bottom causing scratches. Maybe I should reach out to them? Great vid brotha!

I would think the wing nuts would be outside the tray in the open space. Placing them inside the tray, something can grab it and rotate them when you pull on the item to get it off. Similar to having the end of the bolt. That could tear your item. Though for me, I would use a lock nut on 1-2 on each side to better secure the tray to its side mount. Wing nuts will have tendency to vibrate loose, unless tightened with set of pliers.

I went with the MORryde setup cause i can use it with both fastback softop and hardtop ,hardtop its tucked up and out of the way kinda hidden and fastback it hangs straight down . Like it cause its very versatile for attaching things and creates a barrier (wall) to stop dog from drooling all over back seats and passengers lol plus guys from MORryde have been good to us !! Its half the price but prob not as strong due to the bar that swivels and holds shelf up but nevertheless I LOVE it!!

i'd put your power tank up top. yeah you'll loose the little bit of storage, but you gain it under to stuff a chair in there or whatever.

I was looking at that one and the cheaper version. I decided I didn't want to spend that much so I got the one from Molle Platform Solutions. It is only 14" deep as opposed to 23" which I like since I still hit my head like a dumbass. The whole shelf is Molle so I can strap all kinds of stuff to it. The shelf hold more than I thought, but probably limited to about 75-80 lbs.
