Truck Bed Cargo Net Secures Your Junk, Sans Bungee Mess

A better solution to that problem is to just net everything down with this heavy duty cargo net. The net measures 55 inches by 74.5 inches and can withstand extreme weather conditions as well.

Actually, it's the Clever End, and it's the equivalent of roof-mounted storage for the diminutive Smart Fortwo. The Clever End is mounted in place of the Fortwo's rear window, and acts as an aftermarket trunk (sorry, boot). More »
