WTB - Rear Cargo Area Questions

Does anyone know where I can purchase the OEM cargo cover for the rear of the vehicle? For some reason my truck did not come with it. Is this a standard item?

Also, I am going to attempt to make my own rear cargo netting for the ceiling using aluminum or carbon fiber poles and cargo netting. My plan is to purchase some stretch netting to size and then sow black canvas around the poles and across the netting. The trick is going to be integrating some pull cords to keep things tight as needed. I plan to machine mating threads on two (4 pieces total) black anodized aluminum poles that will fit into the OEM slots on the ceiling.

Any suggestions or thoughts would be appreciated. I think I can do this for about $150.

RE: WTB - Rear Cargo Area Questions

I was also looking for a roof netting system, as I have one on my Jeep.
I was trying to modify and use the existing brackets with a steal or carbon fiber pole system.

I the mean time I have replaced the existing brackets with this kit from Amazon; Bell 22-1-33653-8 Cargo Net, $10.18
Actually works really well for our overnight camping and storing of extra items. May not pursue the pole option.
I used the new mounts and added a large washer (painted black) and drilled a new hole to mount to the roof frame.
The hole process took about 20 minutes.

Re: WTB - Rear Cargo Area Questions

Looks like a better option! I just ordered 2 and I will use one on the lower platform / back of the back seat as well. Thank you!

Re: WTB - Rear Cargo Area Questions

Yes, my thoughts exactly.
Post picture when/where you mount the second net (mounting location).
