Is Anyone Using a Rollbar Sunscreen/cargo net For Storage?

[twisty]

I need a spot to put raincoats, jackets, whatever that is out of the way and not taking up valuable space when not needed.

I was thinking of a cargo net of sorts but maybe a sunscreen would work too. It would have to have enough space on the edges to allow putting in the garment and taking it out.

Anybody else using this method?

I particularly find the first useful not for my fishing, but field and track interests:

You just never know when there is going to be a javelin competition or pole jumping emergency in which my gear will save lives. (NOT!)

Seriously: sure, why not?

I was looking at this one too for that reason

I use the one from Blue Ridge https://www.blueridgeoverlandgear.com/collections/vehicle-attics for the JLUR. Works well, made in the USA, and lifetime warranty. Pricey = yes, works = yes, happy = yes.

I will say that some gear makes it droop, but a quick tug to tighten as well as the additional paracord keep things in place. Also, puffy jackets or slippery stuff may slide out so soft gear only (on or off road). I have hung items as well from the paracord to secure need to nab items such as rain jacket etc. Comes in handy when road tripping, and passenger use too.

I have the JTops titanium mesh sunscreen that I have put stuff on more than one occasion. It's really secure and although not designed to hold stuff it certainly can. Sorry I don't have pics of anything stuffed up there.

They look higher quality for sure. I didnt see any rear only options?? I ended up with another product and I already forgot the name. lol It's the much loathed by JTop bungee cord type.

Back to jtop, looks like it would be tuff to get your stuff out and in with their setup, yet your doing it so guess not??

quoting myself to add I now also hate the bungee cords. I ordered the Alien top for just the rear and started the install with a mishap on the second bungee. The thing slipped under tension, swung around and cracked my hard top. Not a happy camper and now need figure out how to repair it or risk it getting bigger over time. ARGH!

The product looks well put together and appears to work for what I want to do with it. I temporarily used tie wraps until I figure out a better solution. The bungee cords are just stupid.

I orderd the Amazon mesh , be aware the actual size (opening it will cover) is 17"x 41", NOT 19" x "61" ; the latter size includes the strap length. I installed it in the rear section of my 2Dr JL ; to prevent sag, I used 2 Footman Loops to secure the webbing to the underside of the hard top. Self tapping screws into the hollow structural "backbone" . This is for lightweight items only for me, jackets,rain gear, etc. I will probably get another one to span the area above the tailgate, when topless with Dogs secured in the back.

I would like one over the rear section only not the middle section. I use the middle section to get dressed in, so I don't want anything there in the middle.

Ordered a @Raingler 2018 - Newer Jeep Wrangler JLU 4 Door Rear Ceiling Attic Net × 1 and it is made and on the way. JP is still not here yet though. Once the net arrives I will give a "first glance" review. Then when I can actually put it in place I will do another review.

Sorry to hear about the crack, that really sucks! I've used the Alien Sunshade in two jeeps now, and its been a champ for storing things on top of the rear shade. I usually have the rear one on year round, and only attach the front 'as needed'. The shade is tighter than an actual attic, so you don't have as much space for storage, but it works well for blankets, pillows, etc. Bonus space for those with soft tops since there's more room in between the shade and the twill (even without items pressing upward on the top and bulging).

One issue I'm going to run into though, the front Alien clips didn't survive from the old Jeep. I'm not quite sure how I'm going to anchor the fronts when it goes back on in the summer.

Yeah, it looks like a nice fit to work as an attic. Waiting on some tie downs that I'm hoping will be a better solution than those crazy bungee's. THis weather has slowed down a lot of my purchases.
