To stop stuff you put in back from flying forward and smacking you and your passengers in the back of the head both off road as well as during an emergency stop situation.

Definately drop me a line if you get up this way and need some local beta.
This weekend I pulled out the welder and chop saw...
Began making my own slide out for the fridge. I'll be working on a tilting function to access it once I build in my drawer system.
And started working on a cargo barrier.

The cargo barrier got mesh, painted, and installed.
Also tacked some wire mesh to the roof rack to give a decent flooring. Primarily for star gazing, of course.
Also, picked this up, cheap.
Came with brand new Viking Synthetic (Amsteel Blue) line. Need to clean up the drum, regrease everything, stick it in and wire it up!
Once the truck is further sorted out, i'll get some better pics... maybe from Big Bend in a couple weeks.

Nice. Looking forward to pics once it's all installed. Also like how you secured the cargo barrier. I bet you can still use the OE handles up there as well. Just might need longer screws is all.
You could certainly use the handles, but from everything I've gathered from researching design ideas, all the real manufactures warn against having passengers in the back while using the cargo barrier. Apparently that's a harder surface to bash your head against than the back of the seat in front of them.
Another plus from the install is I now have more real estate for mounting MOLLE style pouches.

I wouldn't use them for passengers. Just for something to tie stuff to if it was ever needed.
Pulled the dash apart to see that the mechanisms moving the mixing flap works, and there is a definite sound of the flap moving. Checked the hoses to the heater core. Kinked. straightened them out as best I could.... but still no heat.
Apparently there is an electric switch/motor on the heater core that I need to check, if I can find it. Can anyone confirm its location?
