Mostly for me and the TV. Got my Bedslide in and installed. Should make it a little easier to get to things in the front. Pleasant surprise was that I can get my H2000 on it and close my tonneau cover, [emoji846]Click image for larger version

I use a low tech method for reaching things in the front of the truck bed:
A metal rod with a T-handle on one end and a hook on the other end-

That's a good idea I had not seen before. Just curious, how much does this unit weigh?

I did too until now. I'm a bit of a gadget nut so this will be put to the test in a couple of weeks

I've had my Bedslide of over 11 years. It makes loading and unloading everything easier. I purchased 2 large black containers to store small items and that makes using the Bedslide even better.

Advertised at 180#, but mounting is in the front over/ahead of axle so weight is distributed there I believe.

THESE.

They keep the hinges from popping off when you bump something into them. Seems like they'll work, but I just put them on today.

They were backordered when I placed the order and when they came today they were plastic, not metal. I'm not sure it will matter. It seems like a simple solution to an annoying problem.

I originally learned about them from another post on Airforums.

Is it possible to see a photo of the hinge after you installed one of them?

Not to jump into your thread on these hinge keepers but here's a photo of the ones I installed a few months ago. They work great. http://www.airforums.com/forums/atta...4&d=1490726229
