I've thought about that, but I think the two will conflict with eachother.. Both are secured around the sound bar, I'd have to mount them up to see if they play nice together. The mesh would help keep my daughter in the back, where she should be!!

You should look at the COP 4x4 straps too.

Did you get the links I sent you.. the light bar?

All holes are 1/2", The only ones that you would see if you took them off are the 2 between the tail lights and the gate(1on each side ) and 3 on each side of the tube rt above where the stock fender would be. If I were to take mine off, I would just put stainless button head bolts in just to fill the hole, the other 6-8 are on the lower rocker panel more or less, pretty much out of sight.

No link, just the pics. Thanks mike. I will look into the cop straps. Can't be more $ than the dirty dogs...

I see the problem your trying to figure out with the cres, I think going with the dirty dog or cop stats just for the rear would work for me just so I don't have to take off gear/stuff to use other gear. I love the look of the netting. Just don't want to spend 2-300$.... Cres is what 80$!! Can't beat that ....

Dirty Dog and COP are billed as being able to support the weight of gear or (gulp) kids! I recommended the COP after reading WOL's writeup on it. CRES won't support weight..it's basically soft top material cut to the mesh pattern and for me, is really only to keep my daughter from falling out or to keep hats, shirts and other beach stuff in!

I am pretty good at modding stuff, so I guarantee I can figure out how to run the Nx and CRES at the same time..

Hmmm... Easy decision. Air up while the family hits the bathroom and be on your way while the rest of the crowd waits in line for air..
