Station wagon- I can take this out easy, it just lifts up and slides out. And I wanted to bedline it cuz then it's scratch and water resistant. I do a lot of mountain biking and my front tire is usually wet and muddy and the bedliner is easy to clean.

Mdcmn7- thanks, I'm very happy with it

Dont you think 2x6 is a bit heavy? I would just rip plywood for the supports, if constructed properly spliting should be an issue, and if you dont feel comfortable with that then get 1x6.

2x6 just seems to be bulky for this application

Yea I ended up using 1x8's and then I screwed a smaller piece to the side as you can see in the pics, and its as sturdy as my jeep
