Cargo Area Net Tie Downs

yra · 07-12-2009, 04:36 PM

I'd like to get a net to hold stuff in place in the cargo area but there are no tie downs. Anybody have any ideas?

Yes, I put some in mine.
I have a complete write up, but for some reason, I can't post pictures.
It's all factory parts that should have been installed, but some JKs just didn't get them.
Give me some pointers and I would be glad to post pictures here.

What he said. Photobucket is so simple.

In progress. When I uploaded the pics to Photobucket, they all got really small. Trying again.

Edit:
Success! Thanks for suggesting Photobucket. Iv'e been wanting to include pictures in my posts for a long time.

See the attached pictures for details of tie down installation. These are all the parts which should have been installed in the Wrangler at the factory. The parts guy said Chrysler Engineers told him they were left out for liability reasons. He could not explain why all the other Jeep models have tie downs.
I pulled the rivnuts with an all-thread bolt, washer under the head, and a long piece of thin steel under the washer to help keep the rivnut from spinning. The rivnut is hexagonal, in a hexagonal hole, but I wanted to make sure it would not spin during installation.

My 2008 came with 4 tie downs already.... I figured they all did.

My '07 does not have those either.

I can't tell from your pictures, but I think your JK is a 2dr?

And in this picture

My JK does not have that bolt. It looks like you have a factory sub woofer? I think that bolt & bracket are only for those with subs. I don't have a sub, which is probably why I don't have that bolt.

My 09 4dr has the already has the tie downs. Just have not been able to find the netting stuff

Where are you getting the netting from???

Try cargogear.com and look for Bednet Cargo Nets.

I didn't say 2dr or 4dr, but the split rear seat should indicate 4dr.
Also, pull up your carpet to see if the floor has the pre-punched holes as mine did.

I just went out and checked, and it does have them including one in the rear right where you have an existing bolt holding the sub.

Now I need to get some of those tie downs and install them. Thanks for the tip and pictures

I just HAD to point that out. Just in fun, though.

Where do you get the materials and what sizes?
Thanks!
