Yea, the truck looks fantastic and makes for a good avatar.

I put this Ford bed divider in a few weeks ago and hadn't taken a picture of it until I opened the cover up today. I would all most call this a must have for a RC. You can put grocery or about anything and use the bed like a trunk, because the load won't shift forward. A net would do about the same thing but thing is very substantial. Its a little expensive for what it is, but found an open box and got a decent price. I think I've read though they are only useful in a 6-1/2 foot bed because of the boxlink cleat location. On a truck with a 5-1/2 foot bed the area is too small because the cleats are further back.

That's awesome Mike! Sure beats having to crawl in there to retrieve groceries and whatnot.

Were you able to get it anywhere for on the cheap? It seems like alot for a piece of plastic but yet its something that I need cause I dont like the look of the DIY wood.

It does very nicely attach to the boxlink plates though which makes it both easy and secure. IMO a fair price would be about $100. The problem is its so large that even though the shipping is "Free" its really not because its just built into the price.
Something made with say a 2X12 would do about the same thing but would be heavy still need to come up with a solution to attach to the boxlink plates.

It looks lightweight and easy to take in and out. I use a 2x10 with handles on it and it's bulky and heavy. Not the easiest to take out or put back in. I like your version a lot better. Looks sharp too.

Mike, I am impressed ! A nice build, and I am motivated, I got a 2018 XLT super cab, did OEM tails, tomorrow will be doing the OEM headlights too, I am not sure if the dealer would void my vehicle warranty because of these mods,if not, maybe I would do the 8 inch dash cluster as well ! Maybe it would be better to wait until I go for the first service and see their reaction for myself !
