I use a trunk monkey but a golden retriever would work as well.

Thought I’d share this because it’s been so handy. I have a hard top trifold and although I can fold it back sometimes I’m in a hurry and want to grab something that has slid to the front of the bed. I got the broom holders from Amazon. Easy install as they have an adhesive back. They are easy to use. I made me a grabbing hook out of a screw hook from my local hardware store. Tapered the end of the broom handle and put a screw hook in it. This idea came from my pop in law. I stepped it up by installing the broom holder. Here’s a link to the broom holders:

i like your solution for grabbing stuff that may have slid around in the bed. very handy. my Mav is a daily driver that happens to have a HUGE trunk with a soft rollup bed cover. in my use case this is no hauler/work truck where i'm digging stuff out of the bed on a regular basis.

i got a 2x6 cut to length to fit into the built in slots & a cargo net to create a storage space in the bed that handles most of my grocery run kinda stuff quite well. i also keep a small cooler back there in case i need it. here's my setup below. the SIBL helps to keep stuff from sliding all over the bed somewhat as well.

Great idea! I don't have a grabbing hook, but I keep a long handled 3-prong cultivator and an old titlest putter for grabbing things. I'll have to think about mounting them permanently now. Thanks for the idea!

I spy the important things in the bed. Let's see, golf clubs and a cooler. What more do you need in the bed?

Curious what the pushbutton is for on top of the stick?

Strip led lights. You can see them in one of the pics.

All of our trunk monkeys have graduated college and moved out.,...

Just wait a little longer, they are coming.

I just put the truck in reverse, hit the accelerator, and slam on the brakes. What I wanted is usually right there.

Does that magnet stick strong enough just against the spray in liner?

I saw the title and thought:

Yeah. I have several of these. Garage, living quarters, and Maverick truck bed. Work great.
