Nice, but why do the idiots at Ford insist on putting the antennae in the middle of the roof on a pickup truck that will often carry a ladder, canoe, etc.?
I decline venmo and zelle as well. I will not ship unless buyer sends me a US Postal M O and only after I take it to the bank. (this discourages everyone, lol.) Back on track, I recently cut the lower four inches off my $100. Amazon ladder rack. Lost the set screw portion but being all...
My JY performance rack from Amazon ($110.) came with two J bolts for each lower section and they hook into a rectangular metal bar under the plastic rail of the truck. No side bars but they would be in the way for me anyway. I had to use a deep 3/4" socket to tighten them down but even without...
Delbert,
once my AA ladder rack (Amazon) and me, and my truck get a little older, I may try taking a hacksaw (or a SAWZALL- I am old) to mine. The company responded and said I could not do so to shorten them and because of the curve where upper and lower attach, they may be right or I would...
MarkinVictoria,
I still have a HFT bed extender that I used with a minivan until 2010, but tell me more about that rack that comes out of the bed. How is it attached, what is it bolted to ? I am intrigued !
So far at 75 I can still push the 12 1/2 foot but only 50lb. Hurricane Skimmer up onto the rack but need SWMBO's help with our 65lb + Perception tandem. Sovande, do you have a pic of your rig ? I was only 5'8" before shrinkage and may need the hullivator some day.
I opted for a bolt-on rack from Amazon. Its in my garage now but all summer I used it for my kayaks. $110. and with powder painted black it matches my Lariat's trim, lol. Its a little high but it has allowed me NOT to put the stubby antennae I bought on. It also goes on the rails with...
I thought about one sided but felt support could be an issue. Once I put the cross pieces across, I could not believe the sturdiness how using the full width and support of both rails. Yes, having served, I hate buying the enemy's products, but was worth saving $500. And 80 years ago we...
Pretty happy with this one. Installed in an hour, removed for the winter in half that. 8 J bolts and they clear the Lariat utility rail. the powder gloss paint held up well and I yak in the briny. Amazon for under $110., came in 5 days. I just wish it was a tad lower as I am only 5'8"...
I went from a 2010 6' bed Ranger with a TrakRak to this 4 1/2' bed Mav. I opted for a cheap, under $110., bolt on ladder rack from Amazon (JV something or other.) I used it all summer and took it off in early October. I spray painted two really small spots of wear (not OCD here and could...
I had a TrakRak on my 2010 Ranger for 15 years. They got bought out by another company and yes, the price is now a grand. This June when I took delivery of my Lariat I installed a hundred dollar Amazon bolt-on that did not interfere with the utility rails the truck came with but still...
I presently carry my 12'8" kayak on the rack pictured, and previously a 14' yak. Lightweight plastic so I am quite cognizant of spacing and in the picture is my 2010 Ranger with its six foot bed. I carried my yak on SWMBO's mommy van before I got the Ranger with a bed extender and even with...
I was just going to say what 710-oil said. The bed is 4 1/2 feet long. the tailgate is at least 18" no ? Tie the end of a ladder to a D ring. ( I still have my 2010 ranger, awaiting to hear re: my ordered Maverick. My Ranger has always been a big boy toy, as I retired the year after I...
My Lariat is on order. I am replacing a 2010 Ranger that I bought new. I instantly put a TrakRak on it for kayaking. That company got bought out by Thule. The TrakRak required (requires?) a track that is bolted onto the bed rails and allows the ladder racks to be slid on the track...
