cargo barriers

[nevillebartos]

Any of you guys run one? As far as off the shelf solutions I can only find the bestop pet barrier, price and fit look fine, but will this thing stand any chance against an esky full of beer in a collision? Any other options I might have?

I'm in a 2 door with rear seats removed and an artillery of crisp and delicious beverages along with the OE steering wheel claymore is not feeling like a fun environment to be strapped into.

I've been running the Dirty Dog barrier for about 3 years and it's great.

Considering the way it mounts if it doesn't stop an esky I'd be amazed.

I have the Bestop one. Would easily stop an esky... very solid. Mine was a 2 door with seats removed too.

I much prefer the style, does it tighten up fairly stiff? Any flapping or buzzing in the wind or anything? Does look like it would do a decent job stopping or at least diffusing objects trying to enter the front, also keeps the canyon behind the seats free for the junk I keep down there.

Similar question about the bestop, any rattles or vibrations come through it? Does it leave anything left of the canyon? Still looks to be the sturdier option, possibly slightly less convenient, may still be the go if it keeps quiet

It's solid with no vibrations whatsoever. When installing make sure you loosely tighten everything then tighten one by one like a wheel otherwise it's a nightmare. It leaves plenty of room behind the seats, arguably too much, as it fowled on my black widow drawers.

Here I have a cargo barrier, it's made from a screen door. Just got dimensions and cut to fit. When it is in place it is extremely solid and i can and have stacked things all the way to the roof and nothing has made it fall over bend and I've had it off road and highway driving fully stacked.
I also made a false floor so i can mount a fridge slide without drilling into the actual car.
