Bed Extender

Hey Guys,

Just wanted to post this just in case you are on the fence on adding a bed extender and you have the BAK Revolver X2. Because of the aluminum catches that lock the tonneau down you won't be able to swing the bed extender in to the bed or out onto the tailgate. It hits the catches. I had to just sit the extender in the slots and I just remove it and flip it if I need it on the tailgate or inside the bed. Still works great, just lose the rotating feature.

I was kinda bummed after I installed it, but decided to keep it because it does help with the groceries.

 

The manufacturers of the covers need to consider the use of bed extenders. I had a similar issue with the Extang 2.0 and had to cut in the latches to make it work.

 

I have the revolver x4. I bought a tailgate net and attached it to the rail system and the bed tie downs. I mainly use it to keep thing from sliding forward. The other plus is the net was $20 instead of $250 for an extender.

 

Do you have the link for the net your talking about and picture by any chance

 

That is really a great idea. Could you post a photo of your setup?

 

I'll post s a pic later this afternoon

 

Here's what I use. Got it on Amazon for about $20. My main use is to keep things from sliding forward.

 

That looks like a very good and cheap way to keep stuff from sliding forward. I will copycat your idea since I am the one doing all the grocery shopping.

How do you secure the bottom corners?

 

I used a piece of flat webbing to attach both straps to one another. The webbing then goes under the mat. It hasn't moved and works well for what I need.

 

I got one of these Toyota Cargo Nets and use it towards the tailgate to keep bags and luggage in place. It anchors top and bottom on each side and is an envelope design to hold my small stuff...

I like this idea. Just need to figure a way to secure the bottom corners without a mat.

 

Even without the bottom corners tied down it will easily hold a small box or a gallon of water sized something from getting under the net.

 

I like this idea! I may have to steal it.

 

There's no such thing as stealing here. I have yet to find someone here who wouldn't share ideas or tell you exactly how something was done. That's why this is the best forum.

Take it come up with a better design than me and let me know how you did it.
