Got My Speski Off-Road Cargo Barrier

[raYGunn]

I got a gift certificate from a friend in the FJC community for one of these so I couldnt pass it up. I got it today and installed it. It's very nice. The only problem I have is with the old set up where my CO2 tank used to fit, I'll just need to use the mount I have sitting in the garage or go back to the bag I used to keep it in.

Nice! I could use one of those. How much do they run if you don't mind me asking?

 

[raYGunn]

From the manufacture thread "Pricing $309 plus shipping and sales tax if you live in Colorado"... so not sure how much retail with shipping to here. I had $200 off and paid around $100 + shipping.

Interesting, so it's completely suspended off of that triangular roof handle mounts.

As another option for those in SD or OC, Noah (AKA 1973Guppie) makes a very nice option for a cargo divider. He can make it as a grid or as horizontal bars for better visibility. Can't seem to find his vendor thread at the moment.

I would have gone local but I had the super discount.

 

[Bluetribal]

Oh yeah no doubt that was a helluva discount..

Very nice! If i didnt have full bed extensions in our rig i'd have that setup. Very clean.

What are you talking about, this is all mounted up high it wont conflict with the bed extensions. You just wouldn't want to sit up real fast in the middle of the night!

Yea, I have a bed extension and my legs fit under this OK with a thin mattress but I am too tall to sleep in here anyway so I don't use it. I am going to be in the RTT market once I get some other stuff figured out.

I can sleep under mine with a thermarest. But no, don't sit up too quick

 

[SOCALFJ]

Yeah, but without seats there's a huge gap, so its kind of pointless to have a barrier if items can just roll right under it. That being said, my thought was to build a full barrier that possibly hinged and locked upwards when needed to have to sleep.

I did not realize you don't have the middle row seats. I explored the idea of a fold up barrier. The hardest part to deal with is the increase in width of the lower section. You can't just simply hing it at the top and have barrier fold up unless you change the shape of the barrier.

It doesn't have to swing up 100%, if it could go 90% that would work for sleeping. But to have a swing feature you are going to need a frame bar across the top which will add more weight to the triangulated mounting brackets.
