I’ve been thinking about a rear cargo carrier for a little while now but hadn’t got around to it until now. I wanted something that’d fit with my Front Runner drawers, as well as be a half-decent barrier for when I’ve got crap in the back on trips.
I wound up grabbing a Britpart half-height dog-guard. I think this is identical to the Travall one — I’m not sure who’s ripping off who! I bought this one from Advanced Factors in another load of stuff I was buying.
Installation was a piece of cake; lower hooks grab the cargo hooks on the floor, the middle bar braces against the plastic of the outer trim and the top c-clamp thing secured against the C-pillar.
The only modification I needed to do was creating a small cut out in the deck wings for the drawers. That took 10 minutes with the jigsaw.

It fits nicely and, so far, is doing exactly what I wanted it to do. I reckon I’d characterise the quality as “reasonable”. It looks like it’s spot welded wire, possibly not the most bomb-proof thing you’ve ever seen, but I reckon it’ll do the job. The main thing is that plastic tubs or other stuff like that don’t slide forward on braking.
