Rear Cargo Barrier Options?

[RrCoX22]

Is Delta really the only solid choice now for a rear cargo barrier? Seen the Wit's End and would prefer that style but understand they no longer make these anymore. Having a hard time to justify paying $435 for the Delta plus all the other add-ons just to be able to bolt it up. Threw a post up in the classifieds as a WTB for either and wish I had the fabrication skills to mock a custom one up as I'm sure some have done, just curious if there's any other options?

just to clarify their site says

Each piece of the system is installable as a completely stand-alone unit, or pair with any/all of the other components.


but I agree the price is not small. but it's much better than the ARB barrier which looks to be easily over $1K when you add in any tax and or shipping.
I've bought stuff through bison-gear.com for my GX470, I know they make the side panels and "attic" but maybe a message to them might result in something. (I know several GXOR folks have talked a lot with them which added a lot of new products for the 470/460) just a thought

80 Series Cargo-Barrier Net

After the Cruise Moab 2007 trip, I decided I needed a better barrier for behind the 2nd row seats in my LX to keep stuff from coming forward. For CM07 I used one of those metal doggy barriers that I had purchased years before. It worked ok, but it tended to rattle, wasn't as secure as I wished...

80 cargo barriers?

This topic has come and gone but can imagine the need still exists. Reading about Car-Car's accident has me researching this anew. It seems a ridged, ceiling to floor unit would be the most useful and safest. Not only could it separate gear safely, you could mount a first aid kit and fire...

yeah I've already reviewed those threads previously, definitely need something steel, no netting.

Have to pay $65 for the brackets to even bolt up the main piece. Then if you want to enclose like another 8" on the top then it's like another $385, just kind of ridiculous when the Wit's End unit covered that whole area plus mounting hardware for $425 in a more visible style I'd prefer too.

See you're in Spokane, howdy partner.

Go to your local Tractor Supply and buy a steel hog panel. Use a cutoff wheel to make a section the size you need .

Pick up clamps, hardware, and other stuff to attach it to grab handles, seat brackets, and seat belt bolts.
Paint it the flat black.
