I like the arch add to support the fire extinguisher. Great idea. Did you add/mod that yourself?

It uses all the existing holes in the car and you can still access the door pocket and emergency triangle.

This is the UK Amazon link for the table but you can see it is intended for a Jeep

I like this for sure. Its cool how it locks in the way it does. went with FR for the slide out table but agree this is a better mounting solution.

Default Amazon/AliExpress Table

I decided to go for the Amazon Table.

A quick install. 4 Bolts and spacers. 10 minute task yestereve after it arrived.

Really impressed with how solid the table is and how tight it sits. No movement whatsoever. Really useful.

Bottle opener is a nice bonus and the hooks that are for holding drinks will work great for hanging utensils etc.







Great addition to a great vehicle. Stupid simple mod. Great bang for your buck.

Love this mod btw (have done it on a couple old D2's). Two questions...

#1 -- What happens if you accidentally close the tail door when the table is down? Barring anything blocking it in the trunk space, does it hit the door frame? (I'm asking as I'm 100% sure this would happen with me at some point)

#2 -- What are those cool black round press locks that you have @Dan Hairy ... I've done a bit of searching. Can't find them.

#1 Nothing. It opens and closes with the table down without anything hitting.

#2 Those are the new press to release latches. PowerfulUK demos them in one of their many table videos as its evolved.

I got my 1st lot from Amazon here in the UK
Amazon Amazon

But you can get them from Aliexpress also https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale...ch+Button+22mm

There appears to be 2 sizes available 22mm ones and 30mm ones, I went with 22mm, hope that helps.
