Short beds can haul "two" !

Two dirt bikes, a filled cooler in a nice Taco heading down that dirt road into the woods....sure looks like a fun afternoon!

 

I need to make me one of these even with a long bed. tired of running lumber through my sliding window

 

Bed extenders are great cause most can be flipped with tailgate up and used as a high rack along with a roof rack for canoes and such.

 

I love mine. Very adjustable to different lengths and heights. If what you're carrying is wider than the arms...you simple turn the arms upside down. My particular one has a 750 lb rating....and I've had at least that on it before.

Breaks down and stores nearly flat on the wall when not on use.

 

That's nice that it disassembles like that. I just may build my own now

 

I'm actually looking into one picking up a ready ramp eventually. It'll be the ramp and a bed extender so you don't actually have to tie down additional items in the bed to keep them from sliding out

I had one of very similar this snap like a twig at the hinges.

I was using 2X side by side loading a LT500R Quadzilla and one let go. Possibly a manufactuing defect, possibly not. Beware.

 

Fair enough. Been rocking a cheap Walmart foldable ramp. Even dropped a Dana 60 on it and it's still holding up

 

So here's a cheap solution to bending tailgates. 2x8x12 cut in two distributed the weight in my short bed. Maybe 15 pounds supported by the tailgate. 2x6x57.5" board up front keeps the quad / ATV / four wheeler out of the window. Yamaha 400 4x4 w/ winch is 600ish pounds. Supported by sumo springs. Rides great and level.
