Please share the angle that you usedI went with this support design for 4x sheet goods. FYI, the ends are NOT 45 degree cuts,,,,

I will check our local Ollies this week. I didnāt expect them to be that size! Especially for that price. That is a screaming deal!So these FoMoCo rubber mats were sold through Ollieās at some point this summer. I heard about them through this forum. My Ollieās didnāt put them out until about two months after others had purchased their mats. I donāt recall the exact price but I want to say they were $10-$15 a piece.
I assume they were for another vehicle but with some minor trimming they fit pretty well. One May gets you most of the bed covered. I bought two and trimmer them to fit, and the seem is right beneath my 2X6.
I have A tonneau cover but even when itās rolled up they havenāt moved on the highway. Itās a fairly heavy duty mat. For me it was cheaper than buying a maverick specific mat. Doesnāt look terrible (YMMV), but more importantly it works great!
looks very useful to me. here's what i came up with: a divider with a cargo net and bungie cords to secure stuffIāve been trying to come up with a solution when Iām running to the grocery store and I have 2 kiddos with me. This divider with 4 hooks on one side and chest latches securing a 2 x 4 x 54 3/8ā to a 2 x 8 x 54 3/8ā (tapered down a 1/4ā at the bottom) will keep things from sliding around! I used a textured black paint and also cut grab handles in the 2 x 8 using a 2ā hole saw and a jig saw. Total cost was $46 and took about an hour of time without counting paint dry time. This also includes 4 additional hooks that I haven't (not sure that they are needed) attached yet. I am going to grab another chest latch tomorrow to add to the center of the other side to snug it together a little better. It will also make the unit a more solid, finished piece when attached.
Very nice. I also ordered a cargo net like that. I should be delivered today!looks very useful to me. here's what i came up with: a divider with a cargo net and bungie cords to secure stuff
The adjustable sliding divider is a great idea! Propane tanks are always a concern of mine. I used to have a milk crate that I would haul them in, but it has disappeared.I I used 2 2x4s stacked. Itās pretty easy to get them in and out and itās what I had available. I use a piece of particle board shelving and made a divider that can be positioned anywhere along the 2x4s and sits in the bed grooves.
Works pretty good for my needs. I did add some Harbor Freight plastic clamps to hold bags. They just clamp on top of the 2x4s.
the divider works really well when hauling a case of water or propane tank.
Yes. Use eyelets. Less snag potential.That's a great idea. I had not thought about it doubling as a support structure. The reason for adding the handles was to pull it out easier if I needed to load something larger. I will check to see if the 2 x 8 (7 1/4" actual height) is the same as the wheel wells. If so, then just unlatching the 2 x 4 and removing it will make a great support structure to carry plywood etc. Another thing I thought about, and will probably change this week, is using eyelets instead of open hooks and attaching carabiners to them to secure bags.
You are so right! I was taking some bags out today and they were all hanging up on the hooks and not in an intentional way. Grabbing some eyelets tomorrow. I also installed a cargo net this afternoon. Time will tell if that is absolutely necessary.Yes. Use eyelets. Less snag potential.

I have one by the tailgate and one on top of the wheel wells. Sometimes the board on the wells slides out. Any ideas? I want the ability to quickly remove it with out tools.I went with this support design for 4x sheet goods. FYI, the ends are NOT 45 degree cuts,,,,
