rear shelf

I can't remember who posted it, but think it was on the inside of the rear door of a Patrol? We just use a tray. I prepare lunch on this on my lap, and if nice and there aren't too many flies, we can sit outside (carry folding chairs in the back), or if we are in a hurry, we don't even have to stop. Engel sits behind the passenger seat with the food, and a small box holds the other requirements.

these threads should get you started:

Trek Tables do a fold away rear shelf, it's a neat setup (I have one) that works well. Andrew is the contact person and they are local here in Brissy, I could track down his number if you can't find it.

Hi Briggzee

What type of vehicle?

We have a Prado and ended up making our own. took the rear door trim off to use as a template and cut out a panel form 3mm MDF. then mounted a 10mm ply drop table to the panel with some hinges and have used light rope to hold it. you can get brackets etc for them too. We had the person who made our drawer system then cover the panel and the underside of the table with the same cloth trim as the rest of the setup - must say it looks very neat. I can dig a photo out if you want one.

TrekTable - Is the business and is an ExplorOz Sponsoring Advertiser - See TrekTable. A simple Directory or Site Search for fold down table would have found the result. Good luck.

Just having a look at the Trek tables. Why would you want carpet type stuff on the topside where it is inevitable that a mess will be made? Wouldn't you want something that is cleaned with just a quick wipe?

Thanks everybody for the responses.I will follow the leads up and work out the cost and hassle of a homemade job compared to the trek table. Thanking you and merry christmas to all. Ho,Ho,Ho

G'day Briggzee,

Have a look at my rig pics,
1x piece 9mm construction ply ( had at home)
1x sheet 0.6mm stainless (local sheetmetal place)
1x old, aluminium "long load" sign, sanded with orbital sander ( don't ask )
1x piano hinge (bunnings)
1 length of chain ( bunnings )
1x piece of marine carpet (local auto trimmer guy )
1x length alloy "C" channel ( bunnings )
couple of screws

Remove trim off door, replace with cut out alloy sheet screw table and chain to alloy and door.
When changing cars, remove table, replace trim, and you woudn't even know it was there.
Total cost, 50 bucks, and a few hours.

Should keep you out of mischief for a sat arvo.
