I think I’m going to do the same thing this winter. I’ve thought about getting the plywood coated in bed liner.Doing my own thing. Still needs paint and holes for mounting overland stuff.

Nice job on the custom fit. Are you planning on using more than just the 2 bolts to hold it down? Are you using the bolt locations for the factory tie downs or some other locations? IMHO, it should be held down by a minimum of 4 bolts. Did you leave the factory carpet in place? Bed liner should be an excellent coating as it should hold up well over time and will help prevent things from sliding around too much. Finally, please consider starting a build thread for your project as this is something people may be interested in following and copying (if you don't mind sharing more details).Doing my own thing.

I believe it is Bullet Liner. It hood up well and is somewhat slip resistant. It does seem to attract dirt and dog fur. I’d like to ascertain what others use to clean it.Nice job on the custom fit.

For those with the Goose Gear product - what sort of finish do they use on the base plate and top of the drawer units (is it something non-slip?)? Is there any provision for mounting tie down points on the drawer unit tops? I really do like the attention to detail on their products, though the cost feels a bit on the steep side. I have a hunch if I saw the product in person, the high cost wouldn't seem so bad. I really like the option they have for deleting the 2nd row seats.
As @CharlieS said in his post, I'd be really concerned about it being ripped up with much of a load attached to it with just the 2 bolts when going over bumps or perhaps in an emergency braking situation. I'd be even more concerned off road as there are more bumps and weird angles involved.What are your thoughts for your opinion on the four bolts?
Yes, I have considered more anchor points but I'm not totally certain they are needed.I love this idea and want to copy it.
Looks great, have you considered additional anchor points?
I'm afraid that my loaded drawers would likely rip those two mounting points off in a big bump (like over a head sized rock or larger on trail).
Yes, I have considered more anchor points but I'm not totally certain they are needed.
It feels better to have four, but does it really help, and for what type of event? A bump? A hard jostle? A rollover?
It also all depends on how the bolts are recessed, how much wood you are pulling against/through, are you using washers, what's your wood thickness, is there any other bracing, etc.
Looks fun but that's not exactly my use case.Rocks and the forces involved on several hundred pounds of cargo box and what's in them are my concern.

That'd do it for ledges like you pictured.I'm thinking total overkill with 3/4" birch ply, and backing with aluminum bar stock, recessed flush with a router
