Hi, I have a 2000 4 door XJ. I want to install a cargo area net that would attach to the two rear shoulder belt attachments (on the top left and top right), and then stretch down to attach under or behind the rear seat in some manner. The purpose would be to keep my dog (or cargo) in the cargo area, and out of the back seat / front seat (I'm sitting at the auto detail shop having them clean my seats and carpet due to all the mud by Springer managed to coat the inside with!).

I have found two sources for this type product. The first is from http://www.raingler.com ($149.90 with shipping); and the second is from http://www.trailtuffnets.com ($81.00 with shipping).

For those who have used either of these products or have seen there use in another's vehicle, which would you recommend and why? Or are there things you don't like about one or the other?

Finally, is there another brand / competitor product you would have me look at?

Thanks.

 

you may also want to look at the dividers that petsmart and petco sell they are not nets but they might work better.

 

Quadratec has them for $35

 

I like $35.00 ... I just looked at quadratic and did a search for "net": did not find anything except nets to use on top of a roof top carrier.

Can you post a link to what you are referring to?

Thx!

 

I think the part number is 72035.9100

 

Thank you. That would work for my dog. I'm also thinking about cargo divider / protector. I wonder why the write up on it says not to be used as a cargo divider? And would the top "feet" / supports mar the headliner (I just had a new headliner installed)?

 

The raingler is certainly sturdy and does the job. The one beef I have with it is that because of it's form factor there are additional lashings at the vertical midpoint of the net. These are intended to secure around the seatback latch. makes it a PITA to drop the seatback. You could leave them unattached but then there's a (relatively) large gap at the sides as the net no longer follows the inner contour of the XJ's side.

 

I have no idea on that. Also check walmart they use to have them try looking in clearance section.

 

Yep that's what I use

 

Raingler net has more coverage and 2 more mount straps than trail tuff.
You can string one up yourself too.

 

a pet divider will easly get ripped down from somebody wants something out of your jeep, i have a 99 and i take my doors off ive been looking for a metal diivder aswell

I ordered from www.raingler.com. I figured "buy quality, cry once." Hopefully it was a good decision!

 

let me know how that goes
