I have never seen the plywood setup before, but i like the idea.... i might copy it, but use a commercial restaurant cutting board instead.

Here is a link to a picture of the finished product. http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs672.snc4/61218_597860800404_40306279_34547926_5695585_n.jpg I wrapped the carpet around the bottom of the board to protect the back of the legs from splinters. Going to sew up some curtains attached with velcro and am thinking of adding a slide out table, along with other accessories. Now all I need is one of those bottle openers. Thanks again for the ideas. earl The 3/4″ works perfectly. Here is a link to a picture of the finished product.

They are in the back of a Toyota Tacoma so each board is only 29" wide. Don't forget that they are completely supported on 2 sides so that helps. I also had one installed in a Toyota Tundra which was probably 6-8" wider and had no issues there, either. Best of luck, Mal Hey Earl,

Do the 3/4" boards flex very much with only 2 supports in the middle? I weigh about 175 and I was thinking that they looked a little thin for having only two middle supports. Great blog by the way. Very informative. thanks, Earl I am thinking of building something similar for my Dodge Dakota. Do the 3/4″ boards flex very much with only 2 supports in the middle?

I like such innovations. I have also lifted my pickup Toyota Tacoma truck with huge tires. Also planning to buy a used Ford pickup truck. But nice innovative modification made to this vehicle.

I've definitely spent a bit of time here browsing and procrastinating! Great stuff here and I'm going to be around again in the future to check out more. Take care!
