Yes it is.
In my old Xterra. Wouldn't easily work without drilling in the new 4R. I had it mounted to the rear passenger grab handle internal nuts, but the 4R doesn't use nuts and bolts on those. If you want to drill then it'll work just fine.
The picture shows a aluminum lock assembly I made to keep the shotgun (or rifle) secure. The factory BSR SBR comes only with a foam "cup" and a velcro strap.

Shear strength should be phenomenal, the way the clips are designed. I haven't had an issue. There isn't really "weight" on them, anyway, it's shear tension. This is true for OP's design and my design.
Thanks. I don't want a cargo net but I think the D rings would be more useful than coat hooks.

I assume this is directed at OP and not me? Mine is only over the rear cargo area. I only keep lightweight items back there - fleece jackets and such. No issues seeing out. When unloaded, you don't even see the net in the mirror. No issues with items falling out under braking, either, but that's probably because they are all very light and "frictiony".

I don't doubt it for a light load as you show here.... (I wouldn't hang my rifle on them), just informing there is no way it could be as strong as a bolt thru fixture design.
I sure as hell wouldn't put the load on them like I would have if they were affixed like the FJ handles.
YMMV

I'll bump this because I used some of the info in building my own net. The FJ Crusier D rings, especially, are quite useful.
28"x28" ATV cargo net, a paracord frame, a NiteIze "CamJam" cord lock to secure the paracord, FJ cruiser D rings, and some velcro wraps to tie the cargo net to the paracord frame.
Where did you find the the D Rings?

I haven't looked at the rear hooks on the 5th gens yet, is that a RivNut/Captive nut in the body or is it just a plastic threaded insert; that will be the biggest issue right there.
Considering some of the heftier members have managed to pop the handles loose by grabbing them and hanging on them, I'd say that shear force isn't the issue as much as simple weight multiplication due to momentum. They use very simply plastic clips. My biggest concern for these types of designs is that people don't realize how light "light weight" needs to be. A lot of guys run some rear cargo nets on the 4th gens using factory coat hook and other mounting points, those mounts are not strong enough to stop a medium sized dog being launched from the back in the event of an accident.

Na man, get that sucker damn and it'll be like a 2 ton missle in a 5mph crash!

Joking aside, I meant it more as a general warning/something to consider. I think jackets and other light fluffy stuff will be fine, AR15 and/or some heavier stuff might be a bit worrisome; it may at the very least pull out a grab lever or two in a decent accident. It's a cool idea, as long as it's done within reason. Plenty of people in the world get the wrong idea about something "light duty" and then complain (if they're lucky) that it all went to hell when they treated it as heavy duty.
