    Thanks for the reply. I found the item on Amazon and saw a few Tacoma reviews and decided to search here. Your post was the only thing that came up. The cargo net looks like a solid product that would be a good security blanket while hauling just about anything with an open truck bed.

    We have a longbed (6' 2"), so would the medium size be better for out application? Is the material somewhat stretchable?

    My initial thought is stick with the small- you still have those heavy duty cargo straps too. Unless you will be carrying taller loads. Their website has more info. The material does not stretch- the webbing is stitched through the entire net. Also- pad locks can be attached to the net due to the grommets.

    Thanks for the information. I would just like to have flexibility for taller loads in case that happens. Initially, I was set on the small because that's about the dimensions of the truck bed. Medium size might be a bit too big. I'll do a little be more research since I'm not in a rush to buy.

    Bump for a sick truck! Your suspension setup is pretty much what I want eventually. Need to start stashing money in a buried shoebox in the back yard :spy:

    So I saved another 6 months or so.

    Can't argue with that logic! I like my OME setup but at times it is a little rough.

    How does that aluminumnum skid hold up to abuse? I think I'd like to go aluminumnum on all my armor since MiniTaco

    Not bad for trail runs. But On rocks, steel will slide; where aluminum will dent in and or gouge. Fixed gouges and dents with wire wheel and hammer.

    Sold that one, bought @EddyRRT alum IFS mid skid to fit with his 12-15 slimline bumper.

    Still bought SOS Steel transfer case skid though. :thumbsup:

    Hmm. I do like the robustness of the steel and the ability to be repaired better. I am just worried about weight.

    the Alum is light, but so is your truck. You can always upgrade the front brakes/rotors later.

    Several of us have; we all did something a little different. We all like it too!


    Damn, I need to update my neglected thread. :oops:
