I’ve been wanting a shelf to divide the rear cargo area, but really didn’t need to go full “Overlander “ with an expensive and heavy drawer system. I simply wanted a place to stash my go bag and some emergency supplies without taking up half of the cargo floor. This also keeps that stuff out of sight and the cargo area looks empty.

Finally found some time this week to get it done. A half sheet of 3/4” plywood was cut using the carpet map as a template. Then I added some metal 8” legs from Amazon, turnbuckles to fasten to the forward cargo hooks, black paint, and a piece of Aluminum trim for the rear edge.

I’m happy with the finished product. Rock solid and easily removed in 2 minutes if I need the cargo height or 3rd row.

Anyone using Exoforma Ceramic Shield?
Just did a wash, claybar and a few coats of Exoforma. Will see how it goes. First time doing claybar and wow it really smoothed out the surface.

Converted my 2014 GX headlights to 2020 style headlights. I will write a more in depth review after I got some night short for light pattern and effects late.

Since new lights are with switchback sequential turn signals, I decided to convert original turn signal to part of fog/driving lights (for now).

Bought this truck about a month ago

2012; 159K; $17999 all Lexus maintenance records; drives like new, sometimes when I’m at a light it appears as if the engine is off; best part is that it had a small lift, and brand new tires and rims with an additional 1K in dealer added service prior to my purchase. I’ve been adding items to her slowly...
