If anyone is looking for a cargo net to keep stuff in the back of their cruiser secure, Princess Auto has a good item on sale right now ($9.99). Its a surplus cargo net from some sort of delivery van. This picture doesn't do it justice, as it looks like that plastic tailgate material but it is actually seatbelt style material . There are also 4 3/4" rods that are attacthed to it widthwise. It fits very well in the back of my 61 and gives me confidence that in the case of an unfortunate incident,the stuff I've got back there is going to stay back there..

From page 433 of the catalog:
58" x 37" nylon web door.
Door features 2" wide nylon strips, 8 rivets,
black in color, 3/4" x 3/4" x 39" steel rods.
Originally a cargo net for a delivery van.
8004244 – Wt. 18.0 lbs. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9.99

For those not familiar with Princess Auto, its a Canadian industrial/farming/surplus store.

Cheers,
Daryl

Yeah, I looked at a few options including the military surplus nets but they are often quite big (8'x8'). There are also those bungee nets everywhere but they are only useful in my mind for securing larger light weight items from flying out of the back of a pickup on the highway. Its too easy for heavy items to stretch it out or small items to stretch through the holes. I wouldn't trust them for keeping something like a toolbox, axe or cooler back there in the case of a frontal collison. The gaps on this net are about 8 inches by 8 inches and obviously there is NO stretch with seatbelt webbing. Properly fastened to solid attachment points I'd be willing to bet it could hold a tranny down well on a rollover, collision, etc but don't hold me to that ;)

I had looked at these guys too, and although I bet their quality is second to none, I wonder if their price is as well! :)

I'd be interested in a couple too (one for the 40 and one for the 62). If someone is willing to mail them down let me know. Thanks! :D
 
You can check out raingler.com. They make heavy duty cargo nets for SUVs. Although they don't have any specific Land Cruiser applications, if you send them your cargo area dimensions they will recommend something that is close. I ordered the "RBN Jeep" model for my 80 and it works nicely.

Do you have photos?
 
Here is the Raingler part # RBN Jeep SUV in my 80. It attaches at the grab handles (weakest link in the system), seat belt anchors, and floor tie-downs. If you folded the passenger seats forward you could shift the net forward as well by using different attachment points. This net is not going to provide the safety of a Milford Cargo Barrier, but it is a relatively inexpensive ($125) and easily removable. It will keep you luggage and camping gear in place, but won't stop a heavy object from entering the passenger area when all hell breaks loose.

Thanks for the photo. That seems to fit very well. So just to verify, that's the RBN Jeep model?
 
Here are some pics of the Princess Auto cargo net. I laid it down in the back of my HJ61 for reference. I bought eight 1200lb anchors and plan on installing four per side, (two just below the window and two on the floor up against the side) I don't like how the stock anchors are set in about 6" from the sides and rear.

I plan on attaching the netting to the anchors via some 1" straps with cam style tighteners and hooks on each end.

In the future I may also put some anchors above the rear seat so that the net can be fastened like the pic that cartercd posted. This should give me plenty of options for securing cargo! :)
