Yes! Purse hooks😁 I have a set of the beside the seat organizers. Mine are thinner and slip right down into that space. Don't use them a whole lot but they do catch things that would otherwise fall under the seat never to be seen again.

Those hooks do look very handy. I have a net for the bottom of the cargo area and it's been super useful, was a great buy. Any thoughts on doing an update/walk around showing how some of your old work on the X has held up so far?
This was a great one Ry, We're preparing for a long road-trip and I'm really trying to improve the internal organization of the X.

Adding a drawer or tool box liner under your cargo in the rear helps to stop stuff sliding around, especially if you use the stretchy net over top of your cargo.
This was a terrific video in respects to storage. I've seen many Xterra's modded with molles and really high end gear. For the average person these are great. Addressing the cargo floor however, i cut a roll of anti fatigue foam to fit perfect. Nothing slides on me. Once again thanks for this video.

hey dude great video good job explaining that you can't put your headrests all the way down if you get the trunk organizer that kind of stuff bothers me and definitely was a help ahead of time appreciate it. Also, my 1st generation 2002 se Xterra doesn't have all those cool hooks I don't believe, how would I go about doing the overhead cargo storage if its even possible on a first gen because that would be great for microfiber towels, thank you

Nice Vid. Curious if you ever had this issue on your Xterra...The Slip, ABS, Brake, and VDC lights come on once I hit 10mph. Its a 2011 2wd Xterra. It doesn't go into any kind of limp mode, I have no engine codes, and other than the lights being on the car behaves normally while driving. I have tried installing a new battery and that made no difference either...any ideas?

The more Xterra vodeos the better- imo. As for storage I just went from the rear o.s. handles all the way around the ceiling hooks, with paracord, tying plenty of evenly spaced alpine butterfly knots and zigzagged paracord out of each knot hole (can be changed to bungee material) for an easy/super stable overhead carrier. = $5.00 👍
