bed extenders

hey guys i have a short bed tacoma and i want to feel a bit more secure when taking my dirt bike out with the tail gate down. so i was wondering what you guys think are the best bed extenders. are the toyota one good?

 

This is what i use with my dirt bike. http://www.readyramp.com/
And this is where I bought it http://www.surfcitysales.net/catego...B6CC57AB0C73616AFC3.qscstrfrnt04?categoryId=2

 

cool thanks man that helps a lot i think i might go with that

 

I am going to attempt to build my own one today to hold mountain bikes on my short bed.... pics to follow

 

Do you not like the cleat adapters for bikes?

 

not to hold 4 down hill bikes when we do laps.

Also with the short bed you have to have the tail gate down with the cleat adapters so I can't put stuff in the back

 

That's awesome! Looks like it would work great. Can I ask, how does it anchor? Is it securely mounted so that someone can't easily remove it? I ask only because I park in area at times where my truck is unattended.

 

I see the issue with 4 bikes. I actually have that issue now, for a trip to Moab. I think I am going to fab a peice of unistrut and mount a couple Yakima bike mounts to it so I can carry 4 up there. Buddy is driving an expedition; so no room for bikes in the back of it.

 

There are four straps that attach to the gate mechanism (I'll try to get photos for you). I have the same concerns about theft, what I have is a long cable which I thread thru my gas can, bike lift and ready ramp and use the the D rings to lock it to.

Hey oldtimertoyota go in my gallery I uploaded a bunch of photos of the ready ramp in use.
