Okay, so I'm new here .. But been reading for awhile now .. And I've read a few of the posts about loading skis in the bed of a truck .. But I haven't been able to find something close to what I was looking for ..
Basically I have Nissan Titan, short bed, (yes it's lifted so there will need to be some kind of half ramp that will pull out and rest on the tail gate to launch and load) and want to build a rack to carry them in the bed of my truck .. I have done all the measurements and have found out that if I use the utility track system in my truck that I will be able to load everything else under the skis (which is what I want) .. Have them up off the floor so I can still pack everything under them, even the ice chests .... I also want to be able to close my tail gate when the skis are not in the bed .. Oh, and I'm thinking to build it out of metal and and 2x4's .. One piece so it can be easily removable ..
So if anyone has any input on set up itself, please post ..
