Stop the Denting! Billet Aluminum Cargo Strips Are Here.

The original stamped sheet metal cargo strips found in classic Cherokee and Grand Wagoneers were notorious for denting and bending. We solved this issue by creating a genuine Vigilante part: a robust billet aluminum cargo strip designed right here in the USA, built for superior durability.

This JeepHeritage original part is created precisely for discerning builds, ensuring a perfect fit for '71 to '91 models. Choose from our durable plain aluminum finish or the stunning hard chrome option, guaranteed not to scratch or rust. It's no guesswork, just smart design.
