Forester Tray

Over the years I've lost quite a bit of food due to my aggressive driving. High speed turns, sudden acceleration or braking has resulted in spilled drinks, spilled soup, lost cookies and various other mishaps. I suppose the easiest answer would be to drive a little more carefully when transporting things, but that's no fun.
In my Forester my trunk has a tray lining but it's a bit slippery and stuff tends to slide around so I decided to build an adjustable frame so that I could haul things around more safely.
So after finding a nice pile of low cost scrap wood, I broke out the mitre saw and put this frame together.
I also broke out the router to put in some dados to make the frame adjustable with standard length slats.
