It also creates the flat surface that I lost when I put my sub in there to stow my freedom panels on. It also leaves me some cargo underneith when the freedom panels are off. I made it hinged so half folds back to allow me to still use a good portion of the cargo area for taller items. I'm quite pleased with how it turned out. The pics aren't great, took them in a bit of a hurry this morning.
I used:
3/4" MDF
2x2's
Black HD hinges from Home Depot
Cabinet hinges for the two front legs from the Depot
Auto Carpet from Auto Zone
a $1 metal plate from Home Depot for middle support to prevent sagging with a load on top
tie down anchors from Lowes
Spray adhesive
screws
