the stock cardboard crap that was in my trunk cracked a few weeks ago, so i just got some mdf and traced it out and cut it and carpeted it
it looks ok, i just need to carpet the rest of the trunk though.

yeah the stock board is terrible. i wouldnt even want to put groceries on it. I hope you can use my hinge idea or something else.
to whoever asked, i doubt you will be able to put the hinges on the bottom unless you get special hinges like for a cabinet or something. but they might not be strong enough.

Use piano hinges. You can get them at Lowes/Home Depot. Just an idea.
Can I ask why you didn't use one large piece of carpet and use it(the carpet) to hinge it? Then it's seamless. You could have also put the hinges on the reverse side to clean it up some. Also, why not just rout out a hole (hell you could use a drill and bore a hole then cut it out with the jigsaw if you don't have a plunge router) for a handle? Then you don't have all the bulky hardware showing. But it's still as functional.
Fantastic DIY, diskreet! Like some others have mentioned, I had something like this rolling around in my head, but I had no idea how to implement it. Great instructions and pix; I can't wait to get my supplies together and start in on it!
I really like that. I would just use that cause that sh!tty piece of cardboard, and carpeting in there now is crap. The piece of cardboard that cover my spare, is all warped. This would be a very nice way of cleaning up the truck. I think since I dont have a sub, I would go with 1/2 MDF. Question though. Do you attach the back piece down, I mean the piece that is right by the rear seats to something, or does it just lie there flat. Otherwise good job. Something for me to do in the future.
wow, that is nice!
