I was going to try the t-handle setup... but after I got home from Home Depot I noticed that I got 3"X5/16" Bolts, not rods... so, I decided to forget that aspect of it (for now) ... I have a long (40") Bungee going from one far end of the front grate to the other, and hooking back into the back top tiedowns so I can let the rack loose and it will hold w/out dropping anything... and a shorter.. (16" maybe??) rubber bungee that holds the shelf SOLID... and it's relatively easy to unhook so it's all good...

some of the pics above are kinda crappy... so I will have to try to retake them, but I am quite pleasd w/ the shelf as it is a very easy (and VERY useful mod!)

Thanks Sgt_Lobo/DVS/Walrus, etc! Excellent Mod!
