Rear Slider - I Built a Box Enclosure...
I know the rear slider really wastes a lot of room, but I do like the pull out feature to get at my "basic load" stuff so I decided to build a box on top of it for more cargo/luggage space. I figure I can always remove the slider later if I need the room.
The only really interesting part of the build is the rear panel you can't see in the pics. I mounted it at an angle parallel to the rear seats so it could hold the maximum amount of gear inbetween, but still allow the seats to fully recline as well (if you remove the stuff, in this case a compressor, bottled water, etc). It also keeps things from falling and getting in the way of the slider.
I secured the carpet covered wood shelves to the cargo hooks using wire and tensioners, keeps it tight and solid.
Hope this inspires some better builds!
