|
|
I found this accessory for managing items that are carried in the bed. It is very simple yet versatile. When carrying small items, especially groceries, in the bed, by the time that you get home they are spread out all over the place. Sometimes things get damaged because they can slide or roll around. This device is made by Bestop and I bought it through JC Whitney. http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/Search?catalogId=10101&storeId=10101&sku=ZX498989R&searchbtn.x=15&searchbtn.y=13
Their part number is ZX498989R. It is about $60.00
I added a bungee cord and a milk crate so that small items can go in the crate or be propped up beside it. It is sort of like having three separate sections for stuff near the tailgate. That is really great for groceries. The net is slip resistant so boxes won't slide all around. The net attaches to the rear facing lip of the bed floor with the supplied Velcro. The load bar is a simple screw pressure type that can go in and out in seconds. When the milk crate is not needed you can just flip it up and into the front half of the bed. The bed net and load bar do not interfere at all with access to the in bed trunk. I also have the Retrax cover and there is no interference at all with it.
I have had the Bednet for about a year or so and I couldn't be happier with it. I thought that other Ridgeline owners might like to see it. |

| I have a cargo net that came with my 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The entire net is made of bungee, so it stretches to fit and works great. |

| I bought an extendable shower bar at my local hardware store for around $12 and it works great. Cheap too. |
