I made mine out of a piece of 1/2" UHMW and a couple hinges from home depot. I think I have $30.00 in it.

Did the UHMW come from Home Depot, too?

It works pretty good. I need to change the parachord out for chain or cable because its springy but otherwise its fine. I use a bungee to hold it up against the tailgate when not in use. I think I used 1/4" or maybe 3/16" eye bolts.

I also made my own. Used ball catches to lock the table when not in use.
