Had to explain, maybe I’ll make a quick video.

I bent a metal strip into a L shape, one hole goes where the factor tie down bolt goes. The other part goes between the grate to keep it from moving around.

I bolted two strips in the middle to tie the two panels together

Used a strip to mount the fire extinguisher holder

The shelving rests on the bolts. Four m6 bolts go into the factory holes for the trail rail. I used washer to hold the grate between

Cost me about $40 for the two panels, truck bed paint, and misc hardware. I think it came out great but doubt it would hold a high Jack.

Wonder if you can cut one of those in half and put a square on each side behind the wheel well.

Certainly, and that's where you mount the MOLLE racks I've seen premade for sale. I had actually ordered one, but they weren't going to be making them for a month and I cancelled. I ended up doing this instead:

I wonder if you use the heaver gauge stuff sold in the building materials section at HD or Lowe's, maybe that will hold a H-Jack?
