I found this on craigslist a couple weeks ago, and finally got around to installing it this weekend:







...and, no Josh -- you can't have it. :P

 

haha i love mine.. it comes in handy a lot lol

 

Good deal! I'd like to get one, I just don't want to pay over 50 for it lol

 

nice. i could use one myself

 

ive been looking into one of those but i can find one for a stepside. i dont want to cut one up paying full price.

but for $35 id cut the ***** up in a heart beat

 

nice find

 

Nice find man!

 

I was thinking about getting one. Does it come out easy? I'm trying to think about how much I'd really use it too...

 

Looks nice

 

What are these things called? They seem like they would come in handy.

 

bed extender IIRC.

 

took ya long enough then did i tell you how to install it a month ago? lol

 

stone: no, it was like a week ago.. then it rained all last weekend, so it didn't get installed until this weekend. :P

robin hood: yes, it can be removed easily when you don't need/want it on the truck

 

Not bad, i'd consider putting one to more use. By taking off my tailgate, maybe mounting the spare to it, or some other off road accessories...hmm...
got any pics on how its installed?

 

I wouldn't mind having one of those, but I'd never use it lol.

 

mike (goody): I'm not sure it'd work for the use you have in mind -- the tailgate holds it. :) It mounts via two installed pivot pins that are screwed into the sides of the bed near the tailgate. The extender is then clipped into those pins to attach it to the truck. The attachment is on the center bar of the extender... there are two other "push pins" that secure the extender when it is fully deployed or fully retracted.

 

I wish I could get one for 35$

 

awwwww and the jealously sets in!!! SCHWEEET!!!

 

funny, when ford was offering those bed extenders as a factory option back in 2000, 2001 nobody wanted them. now, people think they are cool.

 

...well, as a factory option adding $450 to the sticker, no.. probably not so attractive an option. As something picked up for $35, though... yeah, it's a pretty cool add-on.
