    I really like the one he said was a PITA, it can be removed

    I have seen these on his jeep. They look even better in person. I want them on mine.

    I think the original posters ropes are a great cheap and easy fix, but if you want something thats going to be be reliable, easy to use and look great over years and years of abuse, I would recommend the Raingler nets.

    I have no doubt that Raingler is a quality product, and I'm glad to hear of your good experience with them. Personally, I just wouldn't feel good about spending $350 on netting for my Jeep. If I did, I'm sure it would be Raingler. For the money and the fact that I did it myself (look mommy!), I'd prefer Grizzly Adam's Bear Net.

    Damn, you're crazier than I thought! Did that beard turn you into Grizzly Adams or something?

    Yeah, it would have to be easily removable. I've actually been playing with similar ideas for some time, since I almost never use full doors or windows anymore. Driving that thing at 70 mph can suck a fast food bag complete with hamburger right out of the Jeep faster than Rosie O'Donald. I'd like to try parachute cord and/or some mil-spec cargo netting, the latter of which is what the grossly overpriced Raingler is based on.

    I re-tied my passenger side with a modular version. I just made a loop and zip-tied it to the roll bar. Then I made the net. It was much more difficult that way but it is removable.

    LOL this had me rolling. Trying to do too many things at once. I was in the middle of an auction and trying to type this reply on my iPhone. Good thing I didn't have any gum.

    I think youve had enough beer

    Ive a thought to your cool idea. Why not get a roll of velcro tape. Put a loop around the cage at each spot the knots wouldve been tied, and start from there? That way you can take it off if you want to.

    Just an idea.

    Damn, I was giving that knot book in apprentice class and never looked at it. Maybe if I did I could have come up with something cool like that!
