Default Bed divider/gate?

Anybody using one? Recommendations?

I'm looking at (the most details):
http://truckbeddividers.com/html/how_it_works.html

$70 vs $120+ for others I've seen.

I have a topper/shell and I'm looking for something to help prevent stuff from flying around the back of the truck.

never seen one of those thats pretty neat. i have a bar that you can twist to tighten it to the sides of the bed to hold loads from sliding. looks just like the ones listed except no netting.

Looks pretty niffty. I was just planning on installing a series of D rings around the inside of the bed and stretching a small custom net across the rings as needed.

I saw that, but my truck is at home, I'm not. So, being lazy and all, plus saw you posted and had the same bed.......I was hoping you had the size or measurements

Dunno if there is any difference in bed between 1500/2500 (don't think so), but the measurements are weird anway...

A quick-and-not-necessarily-accurate measurement is 51" between wheel wells. Under the bedrail is about 70", but the inside of the bed has various depressions and protrusions. It's closer to 67-1/2" in other areas.

All of these mean that it looks like it needs and X-large, but that shows a narrower wheel-well. *shrug*.

Yeah. I've seen those. They are the $120+ ones. I like $30 less. I think they also require some drilling to mount.
