Bed Extender

AMP Research Moto X-Tender

I just purchased this and the UPS man brought it today. I was reading the instructions on mounting it. They want me to drill 3 holes in the side of the bed. Is there a chance that after drilling the hole that it will rust in the future? I checked and it is actually in the metal, not the composite bed liner.

 

it won't rust, at least mine has not

 

Do these extenders ship fully assembled or are they in pieces? Just trying to figure out if shipping is going to be expensive.

 

I believe the bed won't rust and I assume they come in pieces ..

 

they come in three sections and is easy as 1,2,3. if you are worried about it rusting, id put some silicone in your holes before you put the screws in. (behind the plate you screw to the bed.)

 

your rite, but not where you drill

 

Any updates on the bed extender? How do you like it? Im thinking about getting one myself. Do you have any pictures of it mounted up?

 

x1

Where did you get it and for how much if you don't mind me asking. Thanks.

 

x3 how do you like it? i want to get one

 

just as concret gets hard metal will rust.

 

i'll get some pictures. The few times i have used it, i really like it. When i put the screws in the side of the bed, i put some black roofing caulk on it first to seal it up.

 

Is it easy to remove when not needed? Does it come with some kind of quick release mechanism? Pics would be awesome.

 

yes, it sits in my basement most of the time. there are 2 quick release mechanisms that allow you to remove it in seconds. (part of the reason i don't' leave it in my truck)

 

Perfect!

 

I 've had mine on for two years. No signs of rust, installs and removes easily it has been very usefull. I love it ! With the tailgate in the closed position you can't release the latches to remove it. I have the tailgate lock installed so I hardly take it out.

 

Thinking about one of these myself. Can it be locked with a cable place to the tie down in the bed ? Or is it too easy to just pull apart to bother with. I don't have a place for storage if I leave it off.

 

This is the particular one I'm looking to get, I thought that this is the one krap22 has? OEM above should be made by AMP Research as well, but this one has different shape to better accomodare motorcycles and extra gear...

 

Very nice ^^^

 

Yeah, you can lock it down to the D Rings with a cable if you need too.

 

Wow, I like that one. Will it clear the wheel wells when stored in the bed ? I might have to get one if it does.
