The full-bed nets kind of suck if you dont have a full load of crap in there. They're great at keeping stuff in place when its already packed, but for a few items it doesnt help too much. I've found a cargo bar to be more useful, and you can get bag/net accessories for them too.
If you have bed rails, I'd look for something that mounts off them instead. Or put D-rings behind all the rail bolts for more bungee hooks.
> My big question right now is antenna mounting. Even if I wasn't driving an aluminum truck, I wouldn't want a mag-mount scratching my roof to shit. I also would prefer not to drill a hole in my roof. What are my options for mounting? What's going to get me the best performance? Without the roof as a ground plane, am I totally handicapping my antenna?
Can you get coax from the cab to the bed somehow? You could put something like this ratchetting tension bar in the bed, then an NMO mirror mount and a Comet SBB-5NMO
I own that specific tension bar, the outer sleeve does rotate freely so you will have to take that into account somehow.
I use 2 of these. Not exactly these but a cheaper version
