I got a little vertigo from some of the pics being upside down, but it looks good!

Very nicely done.:thumbsup: I like it a lot and will probably steal this idea. couple questions...Is the material 3/4" ply? ...how did you seal off the back side behind the seats? what are the vertical pieces you have underneath?...just supports?

Also, when i pop open the pics, they are upside down...if i click on them again it opens them up and they are flipped back correct. No clue why :thinking:

Nice job!!! The 7 slots are a nice touch. Confused on what the wiring photos and the photo of the 2 buttons relate to or how they fit in to this project? Will be nice to know for when I hijack this project for myself!

I think he was just adding in pictures of a couple other projects as well....adding seat heaters and what I presume are garage door opener buttons on the a-pillar.....unrelated to the cargo cover. :thumbsup:

think I used 11/16 or 19/32 plywood. then covered it with bed liner.

the vertical pieces are to keep it sturdy and now I have the ability to put things on top of it and tie them down. without them it would not hold a lot of weight.

for the back I just attached it with a hook and eye locks. 1 on each side. 1 in upper middle, and I used the 2 cargo d hooks and an hook on the bottoms. that way if I have larger cargo I can just in unhook them and take the back piece off. I don't know if you can see it but the back piece also folds in half (vertically). so if I only need a little more space I can unhook 1 side and fold it over and still keep 1 side hooked up.

yes those other pics got put in there when wastrying to fix the original pics. other projects completed. heated seats and garage door openers.

I also put in a reverse camera in my tow hitch cover.

Very nice. What did you cover this with? Is it bed liner?

mrsmith210 06-19-2018 03:08 PM

ya its bed liner from harbor freight. rolled it on. then used the spray can to even it out.

My take on a cargo cover

Rather than using plywood like most that I've seen, I opted to use 1/8" aluminum that is braced from underneath. It's fully enclosed in the front and is usable as a cargo shelf for if I have the soft or hardtop on.
