The swag is going to be the bulkiest item. My suggestion would be to get yourself a set of roof racks and a Rhino flat platform to mount on them. That way you can move the swag and the gas bottle to the roof if you are buying one with a hard top. You are limited though as it's suggested that the hard top is only good for around 35kgs. I've carried a lot more than this on mine without any issues.
To get around this, you can buy an exoskeleton type rack that mounts to the rear bumper and the A pillar, they will carry a couple of hundred kilos and are strong enough for roof top tents.
The Wranglers have so many options when it comes to roof racks as you will find out when you do a little research.

Thanks for that. I was thinking of getting a roof rack and just chucking the swag on top, I see every other Tom, Dick and Harry doing it so I may as well follow the crowd
. I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say that the aftermarket parts is a rabbit hole and never ends! I'll start with something simple like a roof rack and end up with a fully decked out Wrangler lol.

I have fit two double swags, two sleeping bags, two bags of clothes, two pillows, two camping chairs, a 50L eski, a gazebo, fold-up table, a 55L storage container and a few bits and bobs too - all inside the vehicle.
And yes, my Tetris skills are next-level.

Wow, that's impressive. Maybe I undersold the Jeep on storage space without the back seat in. I'm going to ask the dealer to show me how much space there is with the seats folded up. Cheers mate
