What do you guys use to organize the Cargo Area of your Tahoes/Yukons/Suburbans in order to keep things from sliding all over the place and keep it somewhat organized?

- Are there any storage bins available for our trucks?

- Do any of you use the Cargo Net:

QUOTE: "It is small & light yet very strong. It attaches easily on both sides top and bottom and is designed like an envelope with an open top".

Suppossedly mounts to the hooks in the floor as well as to the two black nobs to the right and left under the rear side windows.

Any thoughts on this?

I currently have a storage bin with dividers, which I have pushed all the way towards the rear seat (3rd seat is removed and stored) and secured with a bungee strap. Holds quite a few things, but is a pain to get to as one always needs to reach all the way inside.

Thanks in advance.

I use a milk crate, I have the cargo net and I use it sometime but most of the time it's in the way since it's right there when I open the Liftgate.

I'm planning to build a custom box to utilize the entire Third-Row-Seat-Less cargo area. Basically, I wanted a way to store all of the miscellaneous stuff that I don't use everyday but need to always have available, like jumper cables, tie down straps, tire iron, random tools. I also wanted to have a discreet and secure place to put my rifles/shotguns and ammo when I go hunting or shooting. I plan to match the carpet as close as I can so if someone happens to look in my window it won't be obvious. Almost like a false floor, in the front I plan to have forward facing drawers that are covered by the seats when they are up where I can lay a pistol or valuables and it won't look like anything is there. between the second row captain's chairs is basically going to be a console with storage cupholders and possibly a power converter. Below is a very basic outline designed with my rudimentary microsoft paint skills, I know it's not that great so don't hate...

Thanks guys.

Previs, would you purchase a cargo net or do you think it is a waste of money as you mostly do not use it?

I would and I did use it alot more I just haven't used it lately. Since you don't have anything for storage I say go for it.

Thanks again.

Could you send me a pic, showing this thing installed and with possibly some "cargo" inside of it?

I am still a bit unclear in regards to how this thing should work.

Thanks.

I don't have any pics of it in the truck and I'm at work and I have no idea where it is in my garage. If you open your tailgate it goes from left to right on the round black plastic piece and it has hooks on the bottom to connect on the floor. I'm sure there's a pic somewhere online.
Sorry I couldn't be more help
