Yet Another Bed Hauler - Ranger / B-Truck

[BrightE's]

I got both my skis to fit in the back of my truck with about 3/4" to spare.

The bunks are topped with UHMW polyethylene strips that keep friction and rubbing to a minimum.

Winch cross member is bolted on with U bolts and through bolts to the bed rails. Winch is a Harbor Freight ATV winch with remote control. I sealed up all the electronic receiver boxes with 5200 since they'll be exposed to the elements. Works great thus far.

Do you use 2 winches or just one , that you adjust in front of each ski ?

Awesome man, I gotta do something like this.

Just one, it can slide from side to side. I'll post up more pictures after the holiday.

Do you have an idea of total weight of your bed rack ?

It can't be that much. I think I'll together is was four 8x10"s and two 2x4's and a bunch if brackets.

I did use treated lumber since it'll see whether in the summer, but it's dried out almost completley now.

Where did you get the strips?
