How to Install a Sliding Drawer in the Boot of the Jeep Grand Cherokee

Modify the boot of the Jeep Grand Cherokee by installing a large drawer, useful for the needs of a tradesperson or representative. First, remove the floor panel, which is secured by just two screws.

Remove the seal and the cover protecting the lock, also fixed by two screws. Take out the tray that contains the sensor for the keyless entry.

Disconnect it. Now, the air tank for the air suspension system is visible. Start building the base of the drawer.

Insert the two brackets into the boot. Meanwhile, prepare the fixed part of the drawer, shaping it from wood according to the dimensions of the boot.

Prepare the lid with the handle, lock, and fittings, and the sliding part, which should already be prepared to the thickness you deem appropriate for your needs. Prepare the black carpet for gluing.

Lay it down neatly using a spatula and cut it to size. Ensure that all electrical parts remain accessible despite the drawer! This is very important.

Now proceed with the assembly, securing the base to the brackets and checking that the catches are accessible from the rear of the back seat. Install the drawer lock now. Before inserting the sliding part, remember to replace the keyless boot opening sensor.

The lower tray is equipped with hydraulic pistons to lift the floor panel, allowing access to a second, spacious compartment. It is not an easy job, but with some skill, you can achieve a splendid result like that of our YouTuber, which is very useful.
