Your shelf looks great with the dark carpet. Very cleanly done. I did the exact same thing for my Jeep about three years ago. However, instead of a wooden dowel, I used 3/4 in. square aluminum tubing. Last year, I put a strip of the square aluminum on each side of the top to use as tie-downs. It looks great and they work well as handles when I need to take it out. I posted the pics somewhere else but here they are again.

I've got probably 24 feet of of square 1" aluminum in 6ish foot lengths i need to do something with I'll try to get some underside photos posted. The bar is not permanently mounted yet, I'm trying to figure out the best way to hinge the whole thing and still be able to remove it with ease. I'm looking at using some hydraulic lifters. |

I want to cut mine in half and put hinges so that it can fold... do you think that will work? will it support its self with just the back near the seats or do I need to modify and add some support legs? It will also have tie-downs, and LOTS of bedliner!  looking forward to the reply!

have you checked bed bath and beyond? they usually have a good assortment of "wire baskets" in the bathroom "caddy" or "counter organization" section another place would be The Container Store I've seen baskets at both places about the size of a large lexmark scanner/printer |
