Truck Bed Ski Hauler

[k-zoo moto kid]

Figured I'd share an easy project I completed. Got sick of having to call a buddy whenever I wanted to ride, was bored one day and decided to build a hauler in the back of my ole Comanche.

Quick trip to the hardware store and a few beers (not the straightest cuts) resulted in this, works like a charm. Cost about $100 including the winch (harbor freight). Could easily support an electric winch but wasnt necessary.

Nice work k-zoo! Would you mind posting a couple of closer up pics of the winch & the winch related support structure you built up front?

Sure, I'll snap some tomorrow when I'm out of work.

Subbed. If I can't get a hitch hauler I may have to fab one of these up. I had a similar setup last year but with PVC on the ramp..... Worked great until I left the ramp at a boat launch late in the season.

I'm sure you guys can come up with something better, but this has worked for me. Figured it would give people a few ideas. Just found a cross brace in the bed and drilled through.

Stand meets right up to it. Another advantage is the ramp keeps the rear differential out of the water.

Thanks for the additional pics k-zoo. That's a neat set-up you've come up with there. Appreciate you sharing/posting...

No problem, hoping some people will post their stuff if they attempt it. Always good to see how other people would go about it.

Hahaha thank you! A can of spray paint, a grinder and a few beers can come up with a few decent ideas!

Thanks for sharing. I'm still working on my plans and every time I see a build I get a new idea.

How well does that hand crank slid it up with wheels? I keep debating power winch or hand.

Great job!
