    What you get:

    Installing the floor net:

    As we only have two tie down hooks, I simply slid the other hooks down and around the rear floor to attach it.

    To open the rear floor, you just have to un hook the two hooks by the tail gate

    Installing the Envelope net:

    Trial and error involved to get the net as vertical as possible, it seems that the jeeps have a bit more height before their rear window

    Found a spot just under the weather stripping, be sure to keep the spacing between the plastic and the metal:

    I removed the weather stripping, drilled the holes and then screwed it all together, into the rear door jamb, this things isn't going any where. I recommend painting the bare metal

    Those of you with the rear cargo cover, might have a different outcome...If you look in my pictures, I have technically blocked the rear cover mounting points with how high the net is. Now there is some give in the net that you should be able to just put the cover in place anyways as per normal and the cover and the net would just yield to each other.

    Let me know if you have any questions :bigthumb:

    Thanks, I know its not a performance mod, but what's the point in doing performance mods to a non-SRT Caliber?

    I wonder how that would work with the Kicker and the Music gate. It sure would help to keep the groceries in place, doing corners at 150 lol

    MusicGate would have no problem, the Kicker wouldnt be able to use the floor net I assume...

    No No I'm not running the Kicker set up. I have a 12" JL Audio W3 back there.
    *edit* I made a thread in the visual/body mod section with some pics of my set-up
