Tailgate storage is finally available!!

I got the gas hole a while ago, I enoyed it. I've been waiting approximately since December 2018 for the molle overhead. I signed up for the e-mail notification and I believe he fixed the problem on his end but still haven't received an e-mail. When I use to go to the site periodically, it's was out of stock. Figured since this was brought up in May, there might be an update.

 

Yeah, I hear you on that. The big items are what mainly takes a long time before a rerun. I fully anticipate a molle rerun within next year (hopefully) and maybe the tailgate storage late next year to the year after.

 

There was an overhead bungee product a short while ago. I tried to search for it and didn’t find it. Not MESO branded but a smart idea to minimize weight up high for lighter items.

 

This one?

Possibly? I remember a post in BST somewhere but it was a while ago. That one looks nice.

 

Quite a few of those bungee versions out there. Not sure which is best.

Tailgate storage from MESO would be great

 

gimee!!

 

Wonder if it works with the tailgate lock module?

Oooh, someone last week had the idea of throwing some storage boxes in there, but this one is pretty neat.

 

I have the Blueridge attic. It’s very small and not very useful. I thought I could put a couple pillows up there for camping trips but it really can only hold a couple rain coats. I currently just keep a blanket for the dog in it. Even that is tough to get in through the bungee cord. It would be much more useful if it was twice as big.

That's us! The BST thread pops up every once in a while but I try not to spam it too much. We're developing attics for more vehicles and have a seat divider net as well. Working on some new products that aren't on the market too. You can always check our website to see what we have to offer.

Thanks for the share! May you shred many gnars this winter

 

If you come up to Monarch, LMK!

 

Gonna have to buy one of those attic’s now.

 

It is all a matter of perspective. I have the Blueridge and I like it. For camping it keeps small stuff that gets used regularly out of the way. What I like about it is it is sturdy and firm (i.e. no sag). Great for a jacket, hat, some gloves, etc. Because it doesn't really stretch, it also clears my kids heads when they are sitting in the back. Even with stuff in it.

The other option is the one made out of parachute cord/bungee. You can fit more in it, but at the same time it does stretch and sag and will block your rear window view. Not saying it is better or worse than the blueridge one, just different. And with stuff in it and anyone in the back seat, it is going to bounce around and hit them in the head.

Trade offs. Blueridge works out great for me.

 

Each offering has it's pros and cons. While the BROG net it made from non-memory materials that certainly won't stretch, every customer that switched from their net to ours complained that the BROG net was always losing things stored up there. Wind or bouncy trails were dropping items all the time. I've only had a hat drop into the backseat once when all my windows were down going 65 on the highway.

We're working on an updated version that will allow the attic to be quick installed/removed so your taller passengers won't have it in their business. Once that's available, I'd say we beat all the cons of the attic: less expensive, more space, and easy to install/remove.

 

I'll be curious to see that version. I delayed purchase of on of these for a while as I could not decide between "yours" or "theirs". I have your front/rear divider net and like it but I just didn't see the same material working out for the attic. So the other one ended up on my Xmas wishlist and the elves came thru. I read the reviews about stuff falling out but I am not having any issues. There is a specific way you need to tension it down to have some small amount of sag that creates a dip in it. At first I tightened it too much and could totally see it being an issue.

You make good stuff, don't get me wrong as it was a tough choice between the two with limited funds, keep it coming!

 

Are we really saving much space by putting a jacket, a hat and some gloves overhead though?

 

If you have a pet or kids in the back, they take away a lot of that space that would otherwise be available for the light items. Snow, mud, anything that they track in combined with the loss of space make the extra storage pretty useful in a truck that doesn’t have much storage space in the first place. Plus if you’ve got long enough arms, you can reach and grab anything in the attic while still in the front seat. If the idea of overhead items isn’t your cup of tea, we have the seat divider nets that fit any vehicle with adjustable headrests. Less space but great for the items you or your backseat passengers need frequently.
