I'm new to the forum and am looking to add some added functionality to my series II. I was wondering if anybody knew of an aftermarket cargo organizer? Something better than the stock dealer setup, which is way too small. Fold away is a nice feature but prefer sturdy and something that will fill out the back more. Holding grocery bags would be great since my oranges and everything else will tip and roll around. Thanks.
The Cargo Organizer is just a thin plastic shell covered in thin liner fuzzy carpet material, molded into compartments 3 inches deep, weighs 2 lbs. No cover. Just sticks into the under floor cavity 6" deep. Nice touch but pricey for what it is -- limited market, custom item etc. Easily removed when not in use, so light. Long handles on brooms etc. can just rest on top of it. The row of small compartments have lower dividers between, allowing a long item rest all the way across.
I like office supply collapsible file folder crates. Easily strapped to the floor D-rings. Four of them will fill the back. Can carry heavy stuff (file folders can be pretty heavy, compressed wood comprising paper). I use both these and the cloth four compartment tote very good for grocery bags. There's room for two or three of those if you really have a lot of bags -- and then the folding ability gets more critical (prefer being able to clear out the space for really big things when needed, stow the organizers under floor). Crates collapse to about 2" thick. Have to get them from staples and the like, maybe specialty on line.
Those are the same. They seem to have everything in one place: 5.5" high stackable cargo bins, folding totes with grocery bag compartments, velcro fitted chocks (Trunk-EEZ -- alternative to Cargo Logic LOK). To use those I put a rubber backed carpet on the floor, "Reversible Cargo Mat", mates with velcro. Opening a number of new stores, one here in October (there goes the mail order sales tax exemption). Maybe just going from mail order to brick and mortar.
Yeah, I'm giving those a try. Might require a bit of modification, but it works! And far cheaper than a purpose built unit.
