Pezzy Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 I stole the idea from my Xterra friends... Great place to stash light stuff like blankets, extra coat, first aid kit... I love it! All it is - is a piece of wire shelving from the orange box, trimmed to length... The back is held up by plumbers strapping, and a bolt.. I tore apart the moulding & found there was a support with a hole identical to the one that the stock hook mounts too, all I had to do was line it up to drill a hole in the plastic... The front just slips into the stock hook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainman Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 That's a great idea, thanks for sharing Pezzy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vengeful Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 That's cool! I'd do the same but I lost the bolts for the clips and subsequently the clips themselves... pssd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmgar99 Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Great Idea! Time to get working on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trialsin26 Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 (edited) Great Idea. Unfortunately if someone smash my back door window just get my lunch box, I would hate to see what they would do it actually had something real in my car. Plus the back hatch window is a lot more $$$$. Edited July 12, 2005 by Trialsin26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 You know what, that's a DAMN good idea. I'mma make my own in the back of my Pathy. Thanks for the idea, Pezzy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blitZ Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 That is a good one. I saw something similar once, where a stretchy cargo net was attached in the same way. The cargo net is a little more out of site when not in use and doesn't get in the way when trying to load something bulky below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezzy Posted July 13, 2005 Author Share Posted July 13, 2005 I have a decent tint on my windows (although I do believe it is a factory tint) and because the shelf is high enough, you dont really see it when the truck is closed up... I only lose a couple inches (if that) of my view out the back window when driving... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Dank Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Hey Pezzy, thats a great idea. Whether is your idea or not, I say, leave it to a woman to show us men how to become more organized and have a cleaner Pathy! LOL :cool2: You couldn't look inside my rear windows if you tried. Having 5% tint over the stock mirror tint, really makes it impossible, even in broad daylight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowOSU Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 I've got a cargo net setup just like that, works great.. however i make sure all that is visible are cheap (tow strap, blankets, etc) because here at school they will smash a window for anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Hey, RowOSU, did you set your cargo net up the same way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowOSU Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 yea, its attached by hooking a clip under the trim for the tail gate and the other clip to the same attach point pezzy used. works pretty well and it does a nice job keeping everying tight against the roof.

DJ Dank Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Ok, well today I just got the shelf in...took me about 5 minutes to rig something up for the rear...Ended up just using zip ties and making like a zip tie chain and ran it under the molding right by the ceiling light. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowOSU Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 -- I took my net down this weekend for our trip (bike actually took it down on its way in) when i get it back up I will take some pictures for those who asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
