Question Kilby Rear Interior Storage Rack?

Is anyone using this or know anyone that is? I think it is pretty new. I don't think they are a sponsor, but you can see it on their website. My main question is, does it secure the cargo area with the tailgate closed like some of the other racks (Tuffy, etc.)? Thanks in advance for any information.

Were you talking about their rack? It looks like it stops a little short of the tailgate. I do like that floor system they have.

Yea, the rack. I Just got a reply to an email from Kilby. He says:
Bruce, it's secure to the point that large items cannot be taken or fall out in the event of a roll over but you can reach your hands in through the sides and take smaller items like a jacket etc. A tool box or storage box would be safe.
I really like the Tuffy, but the Kilby is about $100 cheaper, and after researching, Bestop doesn't really have one that does what I want it to. The Instatrunk doesn't cover the whole cargo area, and the Flexatrunk is almost as expensive as the Tuffy. Anyone know of any other similar products?

Depending on what you're carrying back there, that extra $100 could be a real savings in the long run.
