i like the idea especially if you're carring large pets back there.

the only down side in making the grains to go forward/aft is that it will not crumple during a rear-end crash as easily. you probably want the grains going sideways and make break-away slits so that it will crumple and not push the rear passengers into the back of the front seats.

looks like a fun project though.

I've seen one in person. Really looked good. But I can't see that for my set-up although harder flooring instead of carpet would be nice.

Another vote here for thinking extra hard about what this piece would do during a collision.

Ok so first off - sorry, but no finished pics today. It has been raining today and I just haven't had the chance. I should have some pictures up tomorrow morning.

Second - the question about why didn't I use the OEM spare tire cover as a template is easily answered: The spare tire cover is square and I wanted a form fitting floor.

Third - thanks for all the comments everybody and also thanks for keeping the hating to a minimum.

P.S. Chris, I spent like thirty minutes looking at the gallery with all of your truck pictures in it. Your F150 is something else. Very nice.

Ah yes, I easily forget that as I have the OEM Honda Trunk Tray. lol Now if you had THAT it would have made your life 100x easier.

Hmmmmmm. I can't say I'll do this to my Aibo (loose objects slip around my cargo area badly enough as it is), but I have major respect for fellow DIYers with detailed photos and procedures. Kudos and +rep

A quick question: Is your wood flooring permanently bonded/glued to the spare tire cover? Or can you remove it separately?

Mad tight DIY yo!

im liking it. are you going to completely redo the interior? I think it would look great if you lighten it up, and make it look like the interior of a traditional paper japanese house.
