Truck bed organizer


Recommended Posts

I’ve got the Keeper Ratcheting Cargo Bar with net that I keep towards the back by the tailgate all the time. I’ve got it installed a little lower to prevent smaller items (like Costco shopping) from sliding all over the place when driving home. The net works good for smaller items too but I dont really use that all that often. Overall I’m happy with the purchase.

I bought a cargo bed bar on Amazon that works great for holding things in place.  It does not have a net but if you put the small items in a box or set the bar low enough it will hold things in place.  I have a box that I put in the back to hold my miscellaneous small items that I don't want loose in the bed and this has worked well for me.

you are of course restricted to the 'bump outs' (or whatever they are called) in the side of the box for where you can put the divider

 

 

Thats pretty sweet man, did you just make a template and cut with router and jigsaw?

The way to go Amazon even has a Reese for less than $25 shipped....place anywhere, any height in the bed

Another $18 and you can get a great slip on cargo bag for the bar

Been using the same Harbor Freight cheapo since the '06 Colorado which now goes for $15 works great......you'd pay close to that for a piece of clear 2x8 lumber for a limited use DIY. Went crazy and bought the cargo bag.
