I'm Ryan from extremeterrain.com. This is my review and installation of the Rugged Ridge Composite Overhead Storage Console fitting all 1987 and up Wranglers. Today, we're gonna talk through the installation of this console, which is a very simple one out of three wrenches to get installed and we're also going to talk a little bit about some of the features.No matter what year or body-style Wrangler you have, getting a little bit more storage is always a good thing, so turning an unused area above the visors of your Jeep into an area where you can store small items is a great idea. This is going to be a composite storage location, which makes it really light, which also makes the installation very, very simple because there's no need to drill anything. This is just straps in place, using Velcro. This console is made of blow-molded high-density polyethylene and you gain 450 cubic inches of storage with this. It's a very lightweight material that's also very strong, which again makes for a very simple install. You have a non-skid floor on the inside, you have these mesh nets on the outside to keep items inside of the console even when you're driving on-road or even off-road, and those nets are strung up on elastic bands that are adjustable just to make sure nothing is gonna stretch out over time.I've mentioned a couple of times that the installation for this item is very, very simple, and I am giving this a one out of three wrenches because you can get it done in less than a half an hour with just a set of screw drivers. All you'll need to do when you take this out of the box is attach the metal mounts to the plastic console itself and finally take the Velcro straps out of the packaging and use those to latch the metal brackets to your sport cage. The console doesn't attach to the sport cage using any sort of bolts. There's no drilling, it's just that Velcro which is more than enough to keep it in place. Again, the installation shouldn't take you more than a half an hour and you won't need any special tools, just some screw drivers. At around $100, I think this is a pretty fairly priced item. From a fit and finish perspective, I think it's great. The mold is really clean, there are no sharp edges, it installs very easily, and you do gain a bit of storage, however, it's not going to be an area where you can store really large items. If you have a lot of smaller items or you like to empty your pockets out when you're driving without your doors on, this is going to be a nice, secure location to put those items. If you're looking to add some storage for smaller items inside of your Jeep that's going to keep everything nice and secure, and you want to be able to utilize an otherwise unused area, this is going to be a great option.That's my review with the Rugged Ridge Composite Overhead Storage Console, fitting all 1987 and up Wranglers, that you can find right here at extremeterrain.com.

Brand | Rugged Ridge |
Interior Storage Type | Overhead Storage |
Design. This storage console by Rugged Ridge is made out of tough but lightweight high-density polyethylene and measures 41.5 inches long by 6.5 inches deep by 2.5 point inches high. The interior features both a non-skid pad on its floor and a mesh storage net, both of which help keep items safely inside the console. Total storage volume is 450 inches. The console does not interfere with Jeep operation and can be used just as easily with the top up or down.
Storage Benefits. The Rugged Ridge composite overhead storage console proves as a combination box and shelf for keeping items of gear that are not too bulky, maps, books, spare sunglasses, canteens, electronics, CDs, and other smaller items. The mesh storage net prevents items stored inside from falling out, but keeps them conveniently ready to hand. This console attaches just below the roof line, and does not reduce the amount of space in the cab.
Bolt-On Installation. This Storage Console attaches to factory mounting points on the forward roll bars. No drilling or specialized tools are needed to mount it. Total time to assemble and fit the console varies from 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the owner's experience with attaching accessories.
Application. This Rugged Ridge Composite Overhead Storage Console is designed to be used on all 1987-2018 Jeep Wrangler YJ, TJ and JK models.
