    I bought the rubber matting from Tractor Supply. They have a few different thicknesses to choose from. Mine came to $32 for my short-bed. Works great. No more sliding...

    I just got the same restaurant organizer form Amazon but can not get it to slide into the center console. It is too wide at the top. I can't even force it in. The top flairs out too much. Any tips?

    It fits, I thought so myself at first then somehow it fell into place. Pain to get up though because of a notch. Cant remember how it went in but it will go!

    Recent Taco related frugal garage mods I did a little while back. $10 worth of wood. Already had the decking screws and gray paint.

    Wall mount for my Lund hitch-rack bed extender.

    local industrial caster shop, but theres some in hardware stores.(i think)´the size of the caster fit in the grooves of the bed lining.
    wanted to keep it as low as possible, so I can pull out my tubs without opening my bed cap.

    When you pull it out to full extension, what stops it from 1, going too far, and 2, from tilting from weight on the back end?

    Nice. Add some fold down legs on the end and you've got a sweet work bench.

    I am still having trouble getting this Counter Top Bar Caddy from Amazon into my center console. I see that it will fit, but I just can't squeeze it past the lip on the driver's side of the console. I am pushing pretty hard, but don't want to snap anything and have to broke AND stuck in there. I can tilt it in at an angle and see how it would fit, but can't rotate it to sit flat. I just KNOW it will fit. I can get it close but not all the way in. Is it possible to get it back out if I get it in? If anyone has the "trick" on how to get this thing in I am eager to figure it out and appreciate any help. Thanks!
