So I took the headliner out a few weeks ago and started doing something kinda unique and original, then I decided to make a cargo net to hang from the ceiling. I keep removing interior panels. The more I remove the more I like it.

Also I made a small net in the front

How do you see out the back with all that stuff hanging around?

EDIT: I just noticed that it kinda looks like you have a topper back there. NVM.

I actually made it adjustable up and down and I can detach one side and it can lay down against the window. Plus I can still see enough.

Looks good. Question...is anything on the front (towards the front of the cab) so that your bags don't fly out if you hit the brakes?

Yeah there is a strap that runs through the middle and tightens the load up

I came across this thread a while and loved your idea. I tried searching for cargo nets, but I can't find anything close to yours. Did you make it yourself? If you did is it possible to give me a bit of instruction on it? Just cloth layered over each other? But what about the attachment points.

Hi. Thanks for the interest. It's actual 2" nylon webbing wove and then stitched everywhere it meets. You can usually pick this up at an outdoor shop by the foot. That is about 50' of material and I had some left over. Here are the attachment points. The back part I attached with grommets and then the factory window nuts, front part with rivets and 1" webbing with 1" straps. The front part can detach in case u want the net to be down, like if someone is in the jumper seat.
