Do you like your cargo roof shelf?

[ANNML]

I’ve been considering a cargo shelf for a while and am hoping for opinions from those who have one. I always had the one from Bison in mind but I just discovered the mid-deck shelf from Diabolical and now I wonder if that option is more appealing and utilitarian. Thoughts…?

Awesome-buy one.
Although I was thinking of buying an upright fridge and don’t think I’ll be able to and put it on a drawer or platform with the shelf there, so there is that…….

Do you have the Bison or Diabolical btw?

Local Australian version similar to Kaon. Sorry can’t recommend either of the States versions.

Bison is the high one, Diabolical is mid-deck.

I have Bison. I like how it’s out of the way, but pretty limited in terms of what I can put up there. Would buy again.

I have the Bison one and the side baskets. Definitely recommend them, excellent quality and well packaged for delivery.

Yes it’s excellent. So handy having somewhere to keep things (jackets, recovery kit, shopping etc) while the boot is full of wet dogs, stinking chainsaws or engine bits.

Bison is a no brainer. Great product.

I have the Bison one together with their baskets and echo those sentiments given above. Buy Bison buy well.

Mine carries the camping chair, Travel Buddy pie oven, window solar screens, paper towel, under car work mat, air compressor fittings, rope, spare filters and a few other things I cannot recall. Mine is similar to the Bison shelf, but was made by a Forum member. I use the shelf it for lighter items, with two exceptions..

Different option to throw out there... I had Overland Gear Guys make me their mid-deck cargo net but using their canvas instead. My primary motivation was load space cover but it doubles very nicely as a cargo shelf. When the car is packed out I get a second level of luggage on the stretched canvas, but keep it to lighter items like backpacks and jackets versus suitcase. Second photo isn't the best but it's the canvas cover in my truck.

It's also easy to remove and ~$100 which doesn't hurt.

Totes jealous about the Travel Buddy… although I may have turned into an empanada by now if I had one installed.

We have the Bison shelf. Thing that I like about it is that you can mount it a bit rearward to accommodate the OEM cargo barrier.

Bison fan here
Awesome to use what is so often lost storage space! In winter I can get 6 pairs of adult ski boots up there using some vintage Tetris skills
