    That's looks great! If you feel like making more...I'll be the first to buy one!
    I was thinking of putting mine there and then using ratchet straps in an "X" pattern to secure it to each of those silver tie down points back there. Bet yours is stronger, being attached to the actual metal floor.

    KAT,

    You may be able to just use the parts that mounted the donut in the rear door. I'll have to look at the pieces tonight and see if it'll work.

    I'm surprised that the vertical designs have all been mounted on the passenger side. If mounted on the driver's side, visibility would be a non-issue.

    True, but I think I had a clearance issue with the door with the big tire

    That's where mine was on my old Jeep Cherokee. Killed a TON of interior cargo space though.

    I thought the rear door opening and cargo area were symmetrical?
