Overview
The Bestop Instatrunk Security Storage in Matte Black, part number 42700-01, is a steel cargo area security box for the Jeep Wrangler (YJ) from 1987 to 1995.
It fastens into the cargo area behind the rear seat and gives out of sight security for valuables. Bestop describes its 16-gauge, heavy-duty steel construction as forming a weather-resistant seal when the tailgate is closed and locked, so no additional keys are needed.

Working with older cargo areas
Older Wranglers often have cargo floors and rear seat backs built before modern sealing standards, so the fit around a cargo box can differ from one vehicle to the next. Before you install, look at the rear floor for surface rust and loose trim pieces. Solid, dry mounting points give the box a better hold, and a steel box mounted on weakened floor metal can shift under load.
Tailgate hardware on these vehicles tends to wear over time, and a worn latch can stop sealing against the box. Test the tailgate with the box in place and watch for gaps. Keep the lock area clean, since grit can slow the mechanism, and recheck fasteners after rough trail use.
If you carry tools or recovery gear, separate them from valuables so the box stays organized and easy to open at camp.
