Adding to my Truck Bed: step ladder, molle panel, bed divider, storage box & more

[Edge Haley]

Thanks for sharing.

Have your "cargo grabber" and found this magnetic broom holder very handy to keep the grabber attached to the side of the bed. Comes with 4 and 2 easily holds grabber handle in place.

Edit/Update: There are reports that the shorter antenna has worst reception/range. I have tested this and found that if any, there is minimal less distance from radio station reception. Looks much better on a blue truck.



Ordered the b

lue antenna for my Velocity Blue Hybrid.

I know it takes up room (but not that much) I keep a menards step ladder in the bed
I like it because I can move it all around the truck such as waxing to top of the passenger cab

Could someone share a video or do one on how to install this thing?
From the reviews the included instructions are weak

I think you spent more on accessories than you spent on the truck. Looks great.

Not really. I was invited by Amazon to join their program for providing blind product reviews for items that their sellers offer up. I get to keep the items I choose to review, The value, normally the selling price of the product, is reported to the IRS by Amazon as income to me. I end up paying whatever is the appropriate tax rate for my adjusted gross income. That means I’m getting about an 80% discount on many items. I only wish I could order up what I want instead of being limited to what sellers are offering up for reviews.

I did the same with a three step, step stool for a while that I would drag in and out of the garage shop. I couldn't pass up the tailgate ladder when I found it. I did have to chop a couple of inches off the top to make sure it would fit when in the stored position. The ladder is attached to the rotating base by two bolts and they come off quickly with a socket and open end wrench. I’m going to look for the right size locking clevis pin to replace the bolts and make it even easier to reclaim the tailgate if needed.

What grabs your interest?

What grabs your interest?

Would you be able to find the right sized ball lock pins to make the ladder a quick release item?

 

[AbnRgr]

Yes, I plan on doing so.

 

[Dtex]

Let us know which ones you use if you're successful. I would like to have the ladder if it can be quick release mounted. All your mods look well done.

Having spent most of my time on my new ‘24 hybrid XLT tricking out the interior, over the last several days I turned my attention to the truck bed and surrounding. What I have completed includes:

• Installing a tailgate mounted step ladder
• Mounting Molle panels to both truck bed side walls
• Installing a four gang switch panel with 12V and USB power outlets to the cubby storage doorr
• Adding a 30”x13”x10” aluminum truck bed storage box
• Adding a ratcheting adjustable bed divider bar
• Mounting my telescoping truck bed grab bar to a side wall
• Switching out the OEM third brake light unit for a third party blacked out replacement
• Adding a blacked out trim ring surround to the tailgate Ford emblem
• Applying raised black tailgate letters
• Adding a bed mat over the OEM DIBL
• Adding a color coordinated carbon fiber stubby antenna
• Installing Muslogy’s truck bed cargo net
• Installing a tailgate support strut
• Added a blacked out American flag hitch receiver insert cover

Looks really good Bros.

Did the molle panels sell as a set or just one side?

 

[AbnRgr]

Amazon, $145 for four panels, two to a side.

I need a solution like this for my folding ramp (I use it to load a mobility scooter in and out of the bed). Might be worth it to purchase this ladder (for the rotating mount), and just modify it to mount the ramp instead. Thanks for the tips, these are some nice mods.
