I've been looking forward to this for quite some time, knowing all along I would make it roadside friendly without the need for tools. I can now move it forward and backwards along the side rails, flip it up and even remove it without any tools.
Having to use an allen wrench is not an issue, though. It takes just a minute to adjust it back and forth anywhere along the side rails. Perhaps another minute to flip it, and maybe one more to remove it. A ratcheting allen tool would cut that time in half.
With the Oem install, it is very tight across the top, while the bottom does give a little, nothing you would hear while driving.
My personal upgrade doesn't improve or lessen that in any way.
I will be using it as a "select a size" bed area I need at that time, and secure my load to it if needed.
I plan to flip it up when whatever I'm hauling is long, so it's out of the way. I can also secure a load to it in that aspect as well. I never saw its use when flipped up, but it could be useful for tailgating or camping as a shelf or table if sorts. I still feel there's room for improvement regarding my spacer, making it even more secure in any position, to be continued. Thank you @Mmcd for all your help.
