Pet cage compatible with Tuffy rear drawer on FJ Cruiser

Out of interest I've been in touch with Lisa at WeatherTech automotive - they make a pet barrier that with a bit of "adjustment" I think will allow a good fit on the top of the Tuffy box. By cutting down the screw-bar and the uprights we should be able to get the overall length down to below the 23 inches required by the Tuffy box. Also the horizontal bars are fully adjustable up and down, and fit widths between 39 and 66 inches, so I reckon one adjusted to 43" wide near the ceiling and one set at 53" above the headrests will do the trick.

I'll get them installed and post some pics if interested.



If you call them, ask for Lisa and mention "FJ Rob" . . might get me a price cut on the bug deflector I'm looking at

Also mentioned that they should look at making a custom mat to fit the top of the box - I'd be interested in that, so their design department is investigating.
