FJ60 Rear cargo area, storage & pet barrier

[Hojack]

While installing my new retractable seatbelts I realized its time to get the rear quarter panels replaced. Wagon gear has some nice rear ABS panels but man are they spendy.

These would be pretty easy to make and also build storage bin for the tailgate.

I caught Reload chewing on my new rear seatbelt straps so needed a pet barrier.

I’ve put in the pet barrier for the cargo area that I’ve had for years. I like it but it presses up against the headliner. Eventually it’s going to damage the headliner. I’ve seen some brands that don’t touch the headliner at all. Anybody have a brand for the 60 they really like and can recommend?

I think @NLXTACY has one on his project list?

bad dog! Mine ate the rear quarter panels so I need some as well and was going to buy some of the trail tailor panels and the tail gate storage but they don’t appear to be selling them for the 60 right now.

following along to see what you come up with.

Bad dog... yet we still love them so much. I was excited to head out to get our Christmas tree and saw chew marks on my new belt... I scold Reload but then he looked at me with that, sorry dad look and I gave him a pet and love. I realized since he’s a chewer I better get my barrier up.

It’s true they are never ending entertainment

The new BernieDoodle puppies soon after they ate the trim and panels.

a little bigger now they are both 100 pounds now (The dogs not the kid) going to need a dog ramp into the back of the 60 soon!

Here’s the Trail tailor equipment I want. the dogs won’t eat these! Looking back I might of missed an email from Jason I will Email him again to see if he will be doing another run sometime. @TRAIL TAILOR

[stevebradford]

Scrambled to TRY and get my new truck ready for the DMV appointment on Thursday.

HUGE shout out and THANKS to Jason (aka @TRAIL TAILOR ) and Andy at Autoworks of Redding (aka @fj80psi) for the help/advice with the required removal of my LRA aux tank to pass CA smog inspection.

I'll elaborate if needed, but DO NOT BUY A NEW VEHICLE out of state if you live in CA! Dealers will tell you whatever is needed to make a sale and then leave you to take care of title and registration, when they run into a foreseeable issue.

Barriers are absolutely in the works. I've been busy retooling the barriers after the Speski acquisition.

It be awesome to have a barrier to protect the rear exterior retractor from dog damage. As of now I’m constantly watching my dog to make sure he’s not chewing on the belt at the retractor.

The initial offering won't but that does give me some ideas

I need a pet barrier badly. I’d buy one.

Make your own. I have templates you can use and you can modify and tailor it to your specific needs. Kevin at wagon gear has the best tail lids IMO but your cargo are easy peezee. I also lined mine with a flashing material so its easy to find stuff and it cleaned it up a bit.

 

[JHE4601]

I also have some I made out of walnut panels. You can have them if you want.

 

[NookShneer]

Pulled these from @sved i think? A long while back.

I really like the ability to move the divider from behind the rear seat to just behind the front seats if you need more cargo room.

Wow!
That must be one hell of a seat murdering dog he has or maybe he’s a cop and drives a paddy wagon hah!

I have been looking for rear panel as well, I just don't have the money to pay $500-$800 for rear panels, Should I try to make my own? Or is there a company that makes some for less that are worse quality?

@JHE4601 made templates. He lives close to
me so am planning on getting his templates and making my own from ABS.
I was going to make my own cardboard template but he text me and let me know I could use his. Thanks buddy
