custom shelves for the cargo area?

So I remember seeing a pic of someone's excursion on here, he used it for work I believe, and he built shelves out of wood in the back from the floor to the headliner, with multiple layers so he could stack tools, a ladder, etc, and still be able to access stuff on the bottom without having to remove everything.

my dad uses his 01 for work and its a mess, and I want to build some shelves. I know how I want to build them but I wanted to show him the pic and I can't remember what thread I saw it in. Its been a while though. Of anyone knows, post it please. Or any similar organization shelves or anything, post those as well!

Let me throw another idea at you: Basically the same setup without the left hand upper box. Make it even with the seats folded. This way you have a large area to store longer items but when removed you just raise the seats for passenger use. That's what I did and added full extension shelves in the box.

My old (current) one:











Plans for a new one using aluminum...you could tweak this design and make upper layers by using different connectors:







...inspired from this video:


Found the connectors in the US and a company to provide the aluminum 1" tubing.
