Presenting my DIY bed divider
Do any of you guys think F150 bed is way too big for grocery shopping or carrying small stuff?
I found that factory plastic bed divider is way too expensive, it cost around $500 CAD, so I decide to make one.
Everything bought from Home depot. Cost roughly $70 CAD.
Thanks for watching. Hopefully someone may get inspired and can make a better version.

We had a guy on here whose work place had an extra 6" x 6" piece of scrap wood laying around after a job. He cut it down to the width of his bed and dropped it behind the rear wheel wells. Cheap and easy

I flip my bed extender around the other way and use it to keep stuff near the tailgate and from sliding to the front of the bed.

lol it was a 6x6...what's so hard about that.
But yeah i've always used something in my previous trucks - normally a 2x8. Haven't gotten around to using anything yet in my new one - I guess I just use the back of the cab for 'stuff'
I do have a ratchet strap running from left to right box cleat for 5-gallon water transportation though.
Takes about 2 minutes to roll the Gator tonneau cover (really happy with that thing by the way - you don't have to put extra pieces in the bed, you just roll it up and strap it near the window) - and then pop off the strap, and throw whatever in there. Then it takes about 2 minutes to roll the tonneau cover back down. I figured all tonneau covers were like that now days, but my neighbor has the old fashioned one. When he had to load up his truck, he had extra pieces everywhere - felt bad for him. Especially since my cover was cheaper.

I think a matching set of home made running 'boards' would look sharp. I would recommend pressure treated or cedar. If you're handy with a router you could inlay a Ford Oval into them.
