Hey all! Has anyone made their own bed divider to keep stuff at the back of truck, like when you go grocery shopping and don’t want all of the cans to go rolling all over your bed?? I don’t want to spend $200+ to do this. Just looking for ideas. Thanks in advance!

Look at the mods under 100 bucks thread. There are a few ideas in there.

Here’s mine... it’s a 2”x8” and it works great for keeping stuff from sliding up to the front of the bed.

I saw that suggested on a Ford truck site as well. I like that idea.

I got a tailgate net made for a midsize truck so it fits up inside. I have it attached to my tonneau cover so when I fold it up it folds up with it. I also have an adjustable bungee strap that I run above so when I get groceries I run the bungee through all the bags and it holds them up and prevents them from spilling all over.

I was wondering how everyone was strapping stuff up high when I only have cargo hoops down low in the front and back of the bed. Unfortunately, I have a soft roll up Mopar cover at the moment so all I have is the occasional bar going from side to side. I know it has clamps to hold down the bed caps with the Velcro on them but I haven’t looked closely enough at them to see if that’s a viable option to hang from.

Sweet idea with the pegboard on the side!!

That peg board looks like it was made for the bed. You got any details you can provide on what you did there?

Please tell me what rack system that is. I've honestly never seen that before and looks like just what I need

It's a universal victory 4x4 rack. Had to have them send me different top cross bars as the original ones for the rack didn't fit the width of my bed near the cab. I know now the 2500 beds are a little funny as they taper in near the tailgate, not sure if the 1500s do the same. Had to have them send me a wider second set. The cab end fit perfect but the tailgate side just barely fit and I had to modify one of the mounting slots a bit. One of the original bars probably would work on the rear but I didn't feel like taking the new one back off.

The first pic was the original bar the sent, you can see I only could get one bolt in. Second pic is how it's supposed to be. I would definitely contact them before ordering they are aware of it now and they make them to order. So they may have you take bed measurements before so they can make sure it fits the first time. They were awesome to deal with. Outstanding customer service. They typically do alot of yota stuff, the guy I was emailing back and forth with said he didn't know of anyone who put a rack on a power wagon
