Built a platform for my "backseat"
Well I decided to get rid of the terrible bumps and humps in the "backseat" of my supercab. I built a platform out of MDF, painted it black, and put carpeting on the top. I think it turned out pretty good. One of the pics has dimensions. I didn't search, but maybe there are others who have done something similar?

I built a platform kind of like that out of wood. Mine sets up a little higher and I used 7 legs about 1.5" in diameter to hold the platform up so I could have access to the storage area under it. I also used gray carpet to cover the shelf but I wrapped it around the edge of the shelf to have a soft edge too. I painted the poles gray to blend in with the carpet.
Now I can throw all kinds of crap (tow strap, air compressor, jumper cables, battery charger, snow chains, etc.) under it and the area behind the seats still looks clean. I originally put it back there so I can set my refrigerator there on a flat surface. I had to removed the rear folding seats to make room because I have the four door Supercab.
Nice installation Tony.

Thats pretty much why I built it. I'll finish the construction of the box next week when I have more free time. Being able to make it a cube is alot easier than trying to fit the box's dimensions to the crazy humps and bumps in that area. So now its a flat surface, and it looks better.
thanks for the compliments.

2 door and no jump seats. When i first bought it I was like damn this truck is bare bones, and coming from an SVT i really noticed how it was bare bones, now its like, no one wants to sit in a jump seat anyway.
