Didn't mean to one up you. Just trying to make it more practical and user-friendly. Once I get the hinges and get everything painted I'll post some more pics. I have room for a bigger H-D decal! Gonna have to wait until after vacation. I'll wave as we pass through Memphis on Thursday on our way to upstate NY. Anxious to see what type of MPGs I get on the first road trip.
can't wait. Enjoy the trip. We just did 1,970 miles through 7 states - circled Lake Michigan. The truck made it a fun trip. Averaged 21.8

I made the same bed divider that Voltruckguy posted. It's functional, but has a couple drawbacks. A 2x10 that long is heavy and cumbersome and it doesn't reach the bed floor.
So I came up with this 2 piece design that is more user friendly. Top piece is a 2x4 cut to fit between the wood beam sockets. The contour cuts make it easier to remove it from under the tonneau rails. The bottom is a piece of 3/8" plywood 62"x13" (free scrap from Lowe's). Pieces are held together with 4 barrel bolts I had laying around the garage. It's easy for me or the wife to remove the bottom piece when the full length on the bed is needed. Once the bottom piece is removed it's much easier to remove the 2x4 if need be.
I built the whole thing out of a reused 8 foot 2x6 (and two etrack lumber brackets).
One issue that I didn't realize until I was making it, was that one of the lower ridges lines up almost directly under the box link. It's hard to see from this pic, but the bottom rail is about 3/4" thinner than the top one to offset it enough.
