2 Door DIY Rear Platform

[PilotJK]

I'm currently researching and getting ideas to build my own rear platform. I have found several videos and write ups for a 4 door. Anyone here has a 2 door DIY platform pics to share? FYI... I'm too cheap to buy a Goose Gear. LOL!

Show Us Your Deck!

So, we've been running a Tuffy deck on both our 2007 and 2012 JK's for a while now and while they've worked out well, I've been thinking about running a different setup. I've seen a few different ones posted up on various build threads but it's been hard to find them again and so, if you've got...

I had the same thought...and built my own. It was ok. Goose gear was too expensive for what it was, but then I found American Adventure Lab. I bought their stuff because it's aluminum an it's amazing. Much happier with the result.

I was looking American Adventure Lab too. Based on their website's description it requires a sub floor. I removed all my carpets and plastic trim moldings through my the tub.

It did not require a subfloor in my JK. Uses the same factory holes as my wooden platform used and then you do 4 nutserts for added support, which were pretty easy overall to do.

Couple photos of the install just for your info… AAL had actually sent me the wrong plate for one side initially and after scratching my head for an hour and calling them they quickly sent me the right one. Has held up well so far.



The Mac tie downs with the metal ends already done are freaking awesome. Holds all my recovery gear snug.

Hope that helps in your decision making!

AAL is currently developing a platform and storage system for 2dr JKs. I got in touch with them and suggested to follow them to provide input. I figured to share this link... American Adventure Lab's JK 2dr Project
