Hauling plywood in DblCab short bed

No,
I have no idea how to adjust it. I just saw it and thought it was interesting. Flowed with the conversation but failed to solve the problem.

I would just tilt it on its side and anchor the end.

 

you dont have any arms..... idiot

 

Somewhere, very recently, I saw a post from a guy who bought this device and he said it was a POS. It is solely meant to make it easier to raise and lower the tailgate. He was working with the manufacturer to work out the bugs. I will see if I can find it.

 

I think you're talking about viper-2. was the guy on this site?

 

Yes, I just found it. It was Viper-2. Here is the link...

"arms" were a metaphor .... dunderhead

 

perhaps, or i may have either been tired or drunk. maybe even both. and i put up a wood mailbox yesterday so ha! in your face texas

 

You're a metaphor....

 

There's more dignity in just not replying once you've been bested.

 

I think you're right, i hit a "comeback dead end". All i could think to say from your last post was "You're a dignity!" Since that doesn't make any way you look at it i think i'll just quit...

 

Does the top of the Toyota bed extender line up with the cut outs in the bed side wall? You could set the plywood on top of it and the used the straps as described before.

You may now return to the name calling and insults.

 

I haven't really looked at one closely with this application in mind. It's been my impression that they mostly line up with the top of the bed, since their purpose is to increase overall cargo volume.

It appears the name calling and insults will die down now since I got ndcouch to cry uncle.

 

Right now, harbor frieght has those pick-up bed extensions on sale for 25.00! (yeah, I know you get what you pay for, buit I am only going to use it a couple times a year).

 

That's exactly what I'm talking about. I don't haul wood often, or I would have bought a different truck, so this should give me the extra support I need for those occasions. Unfortunately I won't see mine until Christmas. If you get yours before then, post with your impressions of how sturdy it truly is.

 

I had a 10% coupon so I picked up one for $22.50. I haven't tried it yet though.

 

Well, be sure to let us know once you have tried it. Even if you haven't put it on your truck, does it feel substantial?

 

Shrink wrap, wrap all said plywood together and then wrap said BUNDLE of plywood to the supports that are in the grooves of the bed liner. I do it all the time, dont be stingy with the shrink wrap. Nothing over 90 mph !! Remember safety is no accident ! Drive on !!

 

Yeah, last time I hauled maple ply in my last truck the guy at the loading bay used plastic cling wrap. It wasn't the weak stuff you use in the kitchen, but something stronger. Any ideas of where to look for a supplier?

 

Try Grainger Supply

 

It's just made from 2" square tubing. It's rated for 350 lbs. I put it and stood on it out at the end and it was fine. I took a couple of pictures and I'll try to put them up later.
