Covercraft ProNet Tailgate Net, Black

I have actually bought two of these (one in 2007, other in 2009) for my 2005 Tacoma Pre-Runner. Basically I haul stuff on pallets, and idiotic forklift drivers kept hitting my tailgate with the forktruck so many times, that my tailgate would no longer close. So I removed the tailgate and bought the ProNet along with the "speed clips."

The ProNet works fine - but you will definitely want the speed clips!!! The speed clips allow you to fasten and unfasten your ProNet in a matter of seconds, instead of minutes.

I felt like a Marine DI picking up his recruits on the very first day, observing the platoon's weakest link, wondering if I could forge steel out of clay. Only, this clay tailgate net was beyond all hope and given a one-way ticket back home to Amazon. The net looked and felt cheap. I wanted something more substantial for show & tell, but this net was all show and no tell. I...Read more

It took longer than normal to receive. The box was smashed up & taped up with packing tape. Great quality but my Akita dogs are chewers & I dont recommend this for dogs that chew. It did not work out at all from beginning to end.
