Tail gate net
« on: Aug 01, 2005, 09:00:23 PM »
I am looking to ditch the heavy as$ tail gate for a tail gate net. Not just them flimsy ass ones that get stretched out and sag, but one that is made out of a kind of webbing that will hold multiple pounds if need be if any of you have any advice on where to find one please let me know.

You know it, just be careful, that thing gets you up in the air and the 22re's squirrel power will toss you right over on your lid!   :-\\
