Thread: Interested in pics of what you have on your Cargo Barrier??

I'm looking for something like these kids have fitted

Test driving the Storm Tuning Stage 3 tuned Discovery 2 - YouTube


A full cargo barrier would freak me out, too claustrophobic


My kid just bought a fancy TIG, Might get him to knock one up

I have two cargo barriers… the regular one for the rear load space and another behind the front passenger / driver seats. The rear passenger seats are permanently removed and so frees up the area between the barriers for additional load space.

Had watched this but did not see the barrier then, it is pretty sweet design.

Now that I have seen the one for behind the front this makes sense!! Taking it that it is a permanent fit with all your attachments? What are you actually mounting?

Yes, it is permanent. I can have 3 jerry cans (but usually only 2) strapped to the front barrier but soon carry capacity will be extended by addition of a flat panel water tank. My brother has panel water tanks on each barrier. For us the majority of heavy items are carried between the axles. Both barriers have a fire extinguisher within easy reach. Be aware that you CANNOT carry rear passengers with a front barrier installed, take the seats out and be done with it

Have been umming and ahhing about taking out the seats, thinking would take out the double rear seat and leave in the single one. Am going to remove the rear most seats and possibly fit them to the D2a as will be fitting an upright fridge as I did in the D1, friends still laugh at it but with the height at the back of the Discovery's to me still makes perfect sense, even more so now the D2 has rear air con to help keep the thing cold during the day. The space above the fridge was perfect to store bedding and honestly, 125 litres of can cooling capacity can not be sneezed at I reckon...

With two jerry cans insitu that's a lot of weight and I was concerned about what I planning, so no doubt should stop worrying then! Do like the idea of the flat water tank, had been planning on heading out down Dandenong way when restrictions lifted to see about a bladder or two to fit in the space below the tail lights but a flat tank now makes sense with the barrier. Even purchased a filler from MUD for them in preparation.

Now then a shelf for the third battery makes sense seeing as it will hold a jerry can or two, though the flat lithium batteries may be a dollar stretch too far (as much as I covet them).

Do you have any info on the front cargo barrier? Manufacturer, model number..?

Any photos would be welcome as well. Curious to as where it mounts, how much room it takes up etc.

I used to travel back and forth to SA when I was working over there and could put 3 x 6 US Gal/23l 'squat' fuel containers behind the front seats.
This would get me from Norseman to Ceduna and save having to pay inflated Nullarbor fuel prices. Would be a shame not to be able to use this space.

Probably only need a 'top half' barrier for the front?

cheers..

We have a flat Boab water tank strapped to the cargo barrier,with a small pump and tap,it works very well.
But its not in a D2.
