Interesting Bed Divider / Cargo net

I stumbled on this bed divider / cargo net and thought that others may find it interesting as well. If it can be installed where it will not interfere with the in bed trunk lid, it just might be a very good way to keep the groceries from sliding all over the bed on the way home. It looks like it could just be pushed forward out of the way to gain access to the trunk. I have not decided to order one yet, but may do so in the near future. Here is a link to the JC Whitney page: http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/Product/tf-Browse/s-10101/Pr-p_Product.CATENTRY_ID:2009456/showCustom-0/p-2009456/N-111%2B10201%2B600001000/c-10101/TID-190004515H81205

From the JC Whitney web site:

Very cool find Ultra! and a whole lot cheaper than the OEM option.

Finally got it and put it in today. It cost $54.99 + shipping @ 11.98 = $66.98 delivered from JC Whitney. The manufacturers website is http://www.bestop.com/. They have other interesting accessories as well. I like it and I think that it will work very well for groceries and small stuff that otherwise would slide around in the bed. I like that you can still get in and out of the trunk as if the bed net was not even there. The two pictures that show the trunk partially open are just to show that it does not interfere with the trunk opening at all. The trunk lid stays open without any assist. I did not take a picture of the trunk fully open but I think that we all know what that looks like. The crate is something that I added for very small or spillable items like milk or bleach. The crate also helps to confine the grocery bags even more when there are only a few of them. The crate can also be flipped behind the divider bar when it is not needed or would otherwise be in the way. The divider bar is actually a screw adjustable cargo bar that can be used by itself if you need to. The bar just slips in and out of the net easily. The package comes with Velcro that gets applied to the rear facing surface of the trunk lid. It is there to hold the net in place. The net is too wide for the width of the floor of the trunk so you can just fold the net over in a similar way that the picture shows.

Ultra-Hog, I've been such a copy cat of your ideas, but somehow I missed this thread. Thanks for letting all of us know what you do and discover for your truck. I'm glad you cross posted this link in the trunk lid opening thread so that it came to my attention. It looks like a useful product at a decent price. I may have to copy you once again. :p
