pIt’s been a while since I’ve seen some good ol’ nuts-and-bolts ID, so I was happy to see Mike Jou’s A HREF=”http://www.coroflot.com/public/individual_set.asp?individual_id=5943set_id=372621″ Ford Full Size Truck Bed Extender/A project. (A bed extender is a big-ass grill you can bolt onto the back of a pickup bed over the open tailgate, giving you some extra storage space.)/p

pDetroit-based designer A HREF=”http://www.coroflot.com/public/individual_profile.asp?individual_id=5943″ Jou/A looked at the traditional tubular bed extender, which only has one position; he then designed a more easily-configurable system, made from what looks to be plastic rather than metal, and cut the parts count in half./p
