Rigid E2 10"
Maybe overkill but got a deal on offer up. Does not hit hatch when open.

That doesn’t look bad at all. What’s the material on this shell? Still waiting for mine from yotaMD 1 week down, 2 to go.
It's plastic.
Threw on my slee sliders. nothing wrong with my old metal tech sliders but I've always loved the minimalist design the slee's have.

What size tires you running in those pics? 315/75? I'm switching to those 16" wheels soon but haven't decided on a tire size.

More progress and crappy cell phone pictures of the interior cargo rack. Need to fine tune the mounting brackets a little more to raise the passenger side about 3/8". Also need to work on the headliner contour of the vertical barrier to make it hug it a little better in the middle and on the ends. Disregard the cluttered cargo area, currently moving into a new house and transporting tool boxes and other messy equipment. Going to be sending it out to powdercoat here soon to get a better idea of how the finished design will look.

Get it sorted/leveled out and count me in for one. Nice job.
This looks stellar. Really innovative and well-made. However, I would be highly concerned about anyone over 6’ sitting in the second row with that installed. That leading edge of the rack has “skull crusher” written all over it. Imagine that thing making even moderate contact with the back of occupants’ heads whether from a rear end collision or a rollover accident. Ouch. Something to consider.

Valid point I definitely hear you on that. I actually had that in mind during the design phase so instead of making that rear cargo barrier one flat piece, I broke the bottom 7/8" so it curls underneath and actually acts as a ledge for the two panels to sit on. This mitigates a sharp edge and as an added bonus it further reinforces the panels. It also has the same bend radius as that front reinforcement L-bracket in the 3rd pic (1/32" inside / 0.1" outside).
Right now everything except the panels are made of 14ga, the panels themselves are 16ga. In the end everything will be 14ga. but even without that this system is RIGID. Has no play in it in any direction at all. Also, there will be a large amount of adjustability. The holes on the edges of the panels that the brackets mount to will in the end be slots running the majority of the width, allowing the user to position the rack as far towards the front or rear of the truck as they desire. At the farthest rearward position it'll be 6+" behind the headrests.

@TheForger looks well thought out and designed.

@TheForger , following your progress closely, this is something I'm definitely interested in. Only change I would suggest is to use the same perforations for the upright on the front as on the shelf (if possible) for better visibility. I'll be curious to see if I can make one of these work with my cargo barrier.....

Already on it! I have a large assortment of different designs built into the model that I can suppress and unsuppress depending on what I (or you) want. This just happened to be the one that I cut at the time but I will eventually cut all of them to give everyone an idea of what they will look like. I have these slanted slots, the same molle pattern that's on the shelf panels, alternating orientation corner-rounded triangles (shown below), etc... I will also provide the option for complete customization of the entire pattern and/or the center section where a name, business, logo, etc... could be placed for an additional charge. The customization will also apply to the shelf panels if a solid bottom is preferred over molle.
Enjoying that new, new OEM TOYOTA windshield and refurbished A-pillar. More importantly, I’m thrilled to have this old gal back. It’s been 16 long days…
I’ll post a separate windshield + rust repair saga thread to document everything in one place.

Put the big tires on. Toyo MT in LT295/70/18 on Tundra Steelies. So far, no rub but I haven't flexed on the Mall curbs yet. Also have 1.25 inch Bora spacers for a little poke.
