I have recently put my '99 Ford Explorer 4WD to work by maintaining transmitters at the top of mountains. By taking some awful and dangerous roads in the rain and snow in the middle of the night, sliding off the side of a mountain is very real possibility. If I roll, the equipment in the back is going to be as dangerous as the roll itself.

Does anyone know if there are safety cargo cages that I can put between the seat and the cargo area to protect me in the event of a roll?

I prefer one that goes behind the front seats since I fold the seats down for equipment. But one behind the rear seats will at least help.

I’ve seen vehicles with what looks like a cage barrier to keep dogs in the back cargo area. No clue how strong they are, but maybe start there.

 

Most of what I find is either doggy barrier or police barrier. Doggy might work if you get a good one. They usually just press against the headliner via threaded feet that you turn to lift the top into the liner. I have one of those left over from my van days. It was marginal.
