Extra Cargo Space Rear Door Modification
By moving the jack over to the right you can access much more space inside the rear door hatch.
Position of jack before......... and after:
 
drilled 3 new holes and fabricated 2 simple brackets and can now fit twice as much stuff inside!
 
an hour or two well spent

Re: Extra Cargo Space Rear Door Modification
FIRST pop off the entire lower interior rear door panel for easy access.
brackets are just 2 stout pieces of metal shaped/bent to work like the factory mounting points (which are far to the left, out of this picture). They are attached with small bolts thru 2 holes drilled in the sheet metal. Also in this picture is the original hole that the long jack-screw-bolt went thru, now no longer used.
Here you can see I drilled a new center hole to the LEFT of the original jack-screw-bolt hole. Then simply move the black clip/nut fastener thingy to the NEW center hole as shown here.
NOW, Look back in my first post, the lower left photo shows the three old and three new mounting points. Note that the jack will be flipped 180 degrees to keep the white jack-screw-bolt-knob close to the center of the hatch opening.
notice that a full anifreeze gallon jug fits perfectly in the new space plus a whole lot more, tow strap, quart of oil, WD-40, folding shovel, bow saw, and there is still space for more on top of all that.

Re: Extra Cargo Space Rear Door Modification
Thanks I was thinking of trying something. Good idea. Amazing what you can cram in there. I pad mine with gloves and straps so I don't get a clunk everytime I bounce.

Re: Extra Cargo Space Rear Door Modification
Sheesh... I keep forgetting about all that space back there.. Move that jack over a bit and the air compressor might become a back door fixture rather than a garage one..
