I decided I didn't want to front out the money for a factory cargo cover so I went to the drawing board. I got a cardboard box and cut out a pattern. Drew the pattern onto the sheet of steel I picked out. I added an extra 1/2" of material to the side facing the seats. I cut it out with a cutoff wheel, put it in a break and bent the extra 1/2" down to stiffen it up a little bit. I haven't painted it yet but here it is.

 

not bad. im feeling the same way dnt want to buy the oem cover

 

should roll some beads in it too and put spray on bedliner

 

It can double as a diaper changing station!

 

pretty smart gets the job done for now

 

looks like it can also be used as a weapon in an emergency LoL. looks good, can't wait to see the finished product... good job

 

looks like the car could use it as a weapon in the event of an accident. good thing you bent the edges down... decapitated much?

 

I'm actually going to run some rubber around the outside of it to keep the edges smooth. I'll get some finished pics soon.

 

what are you using to secure it? I'd be concerned of it becoming disloged in an accident and lopping my head off.

 

attach magnets to the ledge it mounts on

 

pretty cool. you can actually stack stuff on that one. unlike the oem cargo cover. i have the oem one, so thats a compliment haha

 

Good luck keeping your head on if you get into a serious rear ender. That sheet of steel will chop your head off like a hot knife on butter.

 

sweet now people wont steal your gatorade!

 

hey damn right the mans gotta have his pedialyte whoops i mean electrolyte's you've seen the commercials

 

If I were you I would maybe consider attaching one or two straps to the cargo cover on the bottom (don't ask me how) and then connecting them down to the tie downs to anchor it. gotta keep that head on.

 

Looks good, i made my own cargo cover aswell. But its on cloth and has red stitches, to match my music equipment.

 

When I built this I made it with safety in mind. In order to put this in, you have to fold down the back seats and slide this in place. The seat keeps it from coming forward and there are 2 pieces of plastic on both sides that keeps it from coming up.





I was waiting on somebody to comment on that. I weld 12 hours a day and gotta keep hydrated.

 

How come I don't see the picture?

 

I don't know, the picture was in my first post.

 

I see it now that I am at home. I didn't see it when I was in the office. The company blocks a lot of stuff.
