Rear Cargo Area Organizer (Warning: Ghetto Fabuliciousness Inside)

[MikePL]

The setup is nice. It really fits my style. Whatever I do is only supposed to be temporary and in fact it lasts for years. My wife is getting mad because the house looks like crap.

But man, you should wash your hair more often. You're leaving greasy marks all over the carpet. Or are these feet marks? See below...

hmm, use of bins and a strap, great minds think alike!

gets the job done. nice work!

what are you using to hold the stuff down with? thinkin of makin my own cargo net just for kicks, or just grab a generic one, but 'll have to add something to latch them on to around the edge of the top piece of wood.

how'd I miss this thread back in March?


awesome set-up -- low budget coolness.

Must be skid marks, Shahram has less hair on his head them. (read: he has none)

Nice setup. It's simple and effective.


On a side note:

Is that a Haynes repair manual I see in post #11, pic #7? I thought that was Cruiser Heresy.

Don't know what Shahram uses, but this is what I use: In Utah there is an infamous surplus store that goes by the name of Smith and Edwards. There you can get a military cargo net for about $25. It's 5' X 3' or so and made from what looks like seat belt straps, but heavier duty. The webbing is stitched where it crosses, leaving about 2'' X 2'' square gaps in it. I purchased 1 of these and another larger one that is about 6' X 4'. These things are indestructable and will hold anything down. Throw in some bungees and you can get pretty creative.

Yep. Pretty much the Worst. Book. Ever.

I searched my pictures and don't have a shot of one. I can take pics if you' re interested. I'm sure it doesn't make sense to ship one to Ontario, but if anyone's interested I'd pick some up. I used mine for hauling refrigerators in my 4X8 utility trailer. There are no sides to strap it to and you know how tippy those things are. These nets are great, especially for roof top applications. Covers the whole load, no fear of anything dropping off.
