Bed Slider Alternative - Cheap DIY Solution 

There are ways to improve it but the basic idea works pretty good

Thanks! It's that RU-vid algorithm keeping me down.

This is true, great idea. to add to that, a strap attached to that pipe would aid in pulling it down.

Thanks. It has been useful for me.

Thanks. I am thinking of rebuilding with angle iron to make it lower in the bed

It is a simple thing. I need to remake it in steel.

Glad you like it!

Thanks. Thinking of rebuilding in metal for a slimmer design.

Let me know how it goes.I ended up removing my tool boxes and making it a full flat bed with a lip on the edge after a year of use.

thanks so much

Thanks. It is simple but effective.

Thanks. I got some improvements to make after some use.

I removed the boxes and use the whole surface now for a giant removable table.

What exactly to patent here you're talking about? Four two by fours and some bolts ??

thanks

true dat

it does pretty good but could use some upgrades.

i have some improvements to make

@@CamoMatrix great idea , just maybe a safety lock position on the legs , because if there's heavy load in it just wondering if safe? I have a simple slider I made. I just used plastic decking frame and mounted heavy duty wheels on the decking frame. It just lays there not screwed into truck bed. It can just slide out the plywood which I reinforced with 1x3 on the sides. Your leg 💡 idea is valuable, I may have to try it... The advantage is you not only can load and unload, but you have a work table with you when ever you need. A manufactured version will work also , I think all they need to do is name the legs go up and down depending on the tailgate height of various trucks. Be on the look out I think some company gonna patent it 💰

it depends on the weight location. Because it slides out completely with no anchor, it can take some muscle but not to bad. Mostly I slide it out, prop the legs out on one end and leave it on the truck.

Im putting two wheels on the back of mine to roll it in and out.. will update later

@@CamoMatrix Great ideal. Thanks. Have you seen "All American Mack's" slider? He stapled artificial grass to plywood as the sliding surface and maybe you could too on your rails to make sliding easier

@@ad6a8a I will have to check it out.

I have never been called that

Glad you like it!
