Best $18 ever spent on my Tacoma ext cab.

So I have had a bunch of issues with the way the back seat is set up. I have a german shepherd and there is no where for his 80 pound @*% to be. Every corner i hit he is bouncing around between the jump seats and the floor.

Not any more. I found the perfect $18 dollar fix.

Particle board. 2ft W 4ft L
Roll of carpet ( colored to your liking) 2.5 ft w 4.5 L
Last but not least a staple gun and a hammer to make the staples flush.

You have to cut a little bit of the wood to compensate for the middle console and an inch off of one of the sides to make a perfect fit.

make sure the wood piece fits perfectly into place. and then wrap carpet around and staple onto the bottom of board.

I use a tool box and a couple of chairs and a shovel to even out the jump seats to the floor board. More cargo space and flatter back seat.

My dog now has a perfect 2 by 4 platform to travel on. no more getting tossed around. I can just about lay down on it.

 

wow dude you are so smart you know that?

 

Looks really clean! Might want to add some legs in the front and corners and center for stability, just a thought

 

holy shit thats an amazing idea!

 

Good idea! looks good.

 

Brilliant! I might try this someday. Thanks for idea.

 

lolz

 

I did the same thing, but built some legs for it, rather than jamming crap under there haha. I'm gona build a new one with a hinge in the middle on the bottom so I can still get to my things

 

I bet your dog is one happy camper!!

 

yeah definitely some legs would make it much sturdier, and that was my initial plan. When I put things that i frequently use underneath it as support I was satisfied. ..... or maybe i just got lazy. haha =)

 

That is a good idea! Mine is far from permanent. It only weighs like 8 lbs, so I figure I can just take it out when I need to get to things, or add some passengers other than my dog. haha

 

I love the sheep skin seat cover booo ya

 

Looks nice, any pics of the dog on it?

 

Beat ya to it . Good job though.
