Nice work. One recommendation I have is that you put something between the slide and the tailgate or you will start bashing your tailgate.
When I built mine, I covered it in dark gray outdoor carpeting from lowe's. When I was done, I was trying to figure out how to make a latch to secure the shelf and keep from banging around. For me, an extra piece of plywood from the shelf roughly 1/2 inch thick double wrapped with carpet fit perfectly between the edge of the shelf and the tailgate. So with the tailgate up and the shelf in, I just slip it between the two and nothing is rattling around.
I may look at doing the double slide as well...
