Bed extension to carry all my gear!

[nodakbassmaster]

Just for entertainment for you, function for me, here's a bed extension I made for the truck so I can get the four wheeler and the ice fishing sled/shack out to the lake without a trailer to worry about.
This was the weight check today, I can drive the quad up over the extension then pull the sled up behind it onto the extension.

whatcha think? 




EDIT:

it made it to the lake...

Looks nice!!  Did you just get the wheeler?

[nodakbassmaster]

yup, got that a couple weeks ago 

[Fillet]

Nice rig! Now its time to hope, pray, and wish for the lakes to start putting on some good ice again! We only have what, 9 months? Is it too soon for a countdown?!

[nbaker]

It kinda looks like the one that was on C.L. for a while?  I need to get another wheeler, I miss having one.  It looks like there is plenty of trails up in the hills to ride!!

[nodakbassmaster]

I did get it off CL, the guy had it listed for SD in general, but did not show up in Rapid City searches...

There seems to be tons of trails, I was up there for the first time today and there are a bunch!

I always countdown to ice season again, and now I have another reason too!


Rumor I heard from the neighbor is a wheeler went through the ice and sheridan and pactola today!

sweet rig man I was thinking of doing the same thing if I got a flip over.  Ant yeah there are now two wheeler in lakes in the hills.  Im calling it quits for the year. Was gonna hit deerfield again but a coworker that liveds up there said the edges looked sketchy.

[nodakbassmaster]

yup, 2 days ago I set up the shacks in the driveway to air them out, they are headed for storage.... 

[fishfeind]

Same here I dried out all of my gear and packed it and my trapping stuff up in the attic today.  I live in new underwood and went to town and most lakes were 100% open and the dam by town was 50% open.

Got on Orman Friday. Edges were a little soft but the middle ice was still decent. Fishing wasn't bad either! I hope to get on the ice once more before the long rods come out.

[nodakbassmaster]

Good luck! I'll keep my fingers crossed, but i the wind starts whipping, I think it will melt away quick...

[KingCat]

Yep, I just went through all my ice gear and packed er away. It was a sad day for sure. And then we get a snowstorm that rekindled some flames. Never fails. But it was a good year, but I'm already looking forward to next year!

[royjulius]

That looks pretty cool! I'm going out after work tomorrow for one last time on the ice...

[nodakbassmaster]

Loaded up and ready to rock! It made it to the lake and back without falling apart. So far so good...

Looks good.  A friend has one that sits on top of the bed of truck n you drive fourwheelers on from the side.  Then you have a bunch of room underneath them for storage.  Looks top heavy though.

[nodakbassmaster]

Yeah, I've seen them too, doesn't look like turning would work so well, especially with a couple ATVs or snowmobiles on them!
