Ceiling Cargo Net

[kanya3]

Hi Guys. I doing a London-Capetown-Cairo road trip and have managed to reach upto Angola. I had to fly back to UK for a visa situation. While I am here, I am trying to get some spares/accessories that are not that easy to find en-route. You might have noticed some of my posts before and have received lot of helpful responses. One of the members Karl2000 took the trouble of sending me mud flaps all the way from Liverpool and didn't want to accept any payment for them. Thank you Karl2000. I am after some more suggestions again. Currently we only have two people in the car so middle row of seats has lot of stuff on them. Two of my friends will be joining me for few weeks in Namibia so I am trying to create more space in the car. I have brought back few things with me but was thinking of using all the available space with other types of storage solutions. I came across these ceiling cargo nets that I think might be helpful.

Has anyone used them before or any other types of net? I would like this over the middle row of seats as we still need access to the sunroof. I really can't remember where exactly the handles on 120 are and if this sort of net would allow middle row space to be covered?

Don't want to carry it all the way and find out out that it won't be suitable. If you are driving your 120 today, would you just taking pics of the passenger handles so I get some idea.Thanks.

Hi

I have used these guys in the past for cargo nets. Loose Nets - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]

I brought, Multinet Cargo Net, Multinet Cargo Net - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club], comes with loads of different attachment options, which I found useful.

Regards

Kanya, can't do pics on here mate, but if you want some photos with measurements, pm me with your email address, and I can send them that way.
Measuring my 2006 lc3, the net measurements are a close match side to side and back to front with the lc grab handles, as you load it there will be some sag obviously.
The grab handles to be used are situated at the door opening 2nd row of seats and in the load space to the rear. This would leave ample room for sunroof I think (I haven't got one)
The only reservation I would have would be slightly low headroom for the middle row passengers as that end of the net is just above their heads.
If it were me, at that price, I would take a chance.
I think whatever cargo net you have, it still relies on the position of those grab handles.

ROCK N ROAD 4×4 – 0044 (0) 1772 378 120 - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club] give these guys a call. They do custom sizes, quickly, and are very good at what they do. I have had a few different things off them over the years, and never been disappointed.

Thank you all for your responses. Apologies I came back to Angola 2 wks ago and have been travelling since. I bought the one from Amazon and it has been extremely useful. My brother and cousin have joined me on the journey to South Africa for few weeks so it has come in handy to secure few things in the unuser space overhead. Here is a pic from today.
