Let's see your frugal DIY mods!

I think it could, I have already been thinking of ways to do it. You can really crank them down because the bed is not metal so it does not dent. Also the bed has natural stops as you can see in the pctures it can't slide down and depending where you put it forward or back.

 

I have these bars and also use those natural stops, but, sometimes they still get loose. I bought some of that non slip mat you buy in rolls for like cabinets and such. Placed that behind the feet of the cargo bars and haven't had a problem since.

 

Made a bed mat for my dog out of some astro-turf I had leftover

 

Great Idea!

 

I used a rubber sheet I got at Tractor Supply. Comes in 4'x6' sheets 3/4" thick. I cut it to fit. $39.99 but I think I got it on sale.

 

Nice! The turf actually isn't very cheap, but it was just lying around after a project left some leftover!

 

Just a few things that I've done lately..

 

Man that astro-turf looks good!

 

Excellent!

 

Probably- I don't like to crank mine too tight because I'm afraid of cracking the plastic bed. It would probably work if you tied the bike down with a ratchet strap, just to be safe.

 

Great idea. I have one of these and haven't found a spot to put it yet.

 

Thanks @Crom ! Been admiring your cargo tie-down setup for a while

 

You're welcome!

 

Quick fist would be a good idea too.. Nice.

How does it work

 

Harbor Freight load bar. It's their cheaper one.. Haven't actually drove with it on, but upon test fit the other night, seems to be nice.

 

What is that shelf/bracket called and where do u get one and how much does it cost?

 

the shelf is a kb vodoo cargo bssket, vendor on TW. all the other stuff i made.

 

Redid the cheap hangar shelving with some more useful recovery and safety gear.
