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. MOLLE Bulkhead NOW AVAILABLE! Upgrade your JLU MASS Cargo Shelf with the MOLLE Bulkhead – a lightweight, American-made aluminum barrier that prevents gear from sliding forward while adding a full US mil-spec MOLLE panel for mounting pouches, tools, and accessories, all while maintaining visibility through your rear view mirror.

Soft Top Fitment This was designed for the JLU hard top, but will work well with the soft top. Here are some photos of it installed in our JLU with the soft top. There are also some details about fitment. 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. In the photo above, the main cargo panels are set to transparent as well as the driver’s side mount. This allows you to see how the steel supports mount below the cargo platform. This is how we keep the weight low and the strength high. CAD Designed for a Perfect Fit As with all of our parts, we carry very tight tolerances to maximize space utilization as well as ensure proper fitment within the Jeep JLU. Our MASS Cargo Shelf fits that plan perfectly. 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.
