I made one for my LJ. I moved the seat back 2" so I needed to make my own as I was not sure if the store bought would fit. I made mine from 3/4" plywood and painted it. Cheap and simple. After these pics were taken I filled the screw holes and sprayed it with bedliner. It looks nicer now. 4 5/16" bolts hold it in so I can remove it pretty quick if I want. Took about 1 hour to build. I am a big boy and I can stand on it and jump up and down.


BTW If I were to do it again I would extend the sides up so the top was just below the top of the tailgate. Other than that I am real happy (and confidant) with the trunk.

my main thing about that one is that I no longer have a rear seat (I sold it) and I'm not sure how to secure the cab side as well...

I think most store bought deals have a front to them as the seat tumbles forward.
