recently i have been looking for a rear cargo cover for my '00 Rango, but with no luck. so i just built my own. just used some plywood, 2x2's, and some Walmart replacement carpet. i needed something to cover my hitch mounted winch and toolboxes so thieving bastards wouldn't see. i also put a flap at the back so you could'not see through the back window. it is a 2 piece cover/shelf with the front piece being removable.

 

looks great!

 

You didn't by any chance take pictures while you were building it did you? It would be pretty cool if you posted up a list of materials and some instructions in case someone else wanted to build something like this. That is unless you're patenting it of course, in which case we understand

 

sorry i didn't take any pics while building it. just used a 4'x4' sheet of 1/2'' plywood and built a frame for the cover to set on. i built the frame out of 2''x2'' trim boards. it's strong and light weight. total cost was about $30.

 

Not a bad idea, i have often thought of something similar myself expet i would make mine so the 3rd row could be up with the cover in place.

 

yeah, i though the same thing at first but it would of been in the way of the rear window. plus my winch and toolbox wouldn't fit with the 3rd row up.
