Anyone have any recommendations of companies, preferably in Pennsylvania that would be able to make a custom stainless steel shelving unit of some sort if I provide them like a 3D design mock-up of it?

Working with a forester that could really use some proper hatch organization but there isn't exactly an aftermarket for subaru foresters as far as pre-made storage shelving goes.

You will likely need to look at the off road sites/pages for that. Finding an upfitter will be even more problematic. Best bet is diy.

A lot will depend on what you're looking to stow/haul. Rescue gear? Groceries? Animals? Camping? On our forester ('17) we use a portable sportsman trunk for all the roadside gear. If you're not already on it Subaruforester.org page has some good suggestions.

DIY steel working isn't exactly an easy thing lol. It needs to be stainless steel for the better protection of rust/corrosion of moisture. The vehicle is set up as a traffic unit for fire, so cones/signs/etc get thrown in wet sometimes.

I have a general visual of what I want and have the ability/software to design it myself, just not the materials or tools to cut and weld/connect the steel together. And unfortunately living somewhat rurally I don't have any local places offhand I'm aware of or even somewhat nearby that can do what I'm trying to do.
