Turn Your Short Bed into a Full-Use Workspace
Short beds are great for daily driving—but not always for loading and unloading heavy gear. This Overland Vehicle Systems Bed Extension fixes that. Slide your cargo out toward you instead of climbing into the bed, making it easier to access tools, fridges, water tanks, recovery gear, and camping equipment. With multiple locking positions and a serious 1,250 lb rating, it’s built for both job sites and off-grid weekends.
Key Features
- 75% Slide-Out Extension: Brings your cargo toward you so you’re not crawling into the bed to reach items at the front.
- Three Locking Positions: Dual-spring latch pins allow you to secure the slide at three different lengths for flexible loading.
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Steel frame, composite base, and rubberized diamond-plate style surface provide durability, grip, and easy clean-up.
- Ergonomic Operation: Single-pull latch and 2" roller bearings make opening and closing smooth and controlled.
- Cargo Management: Multiple anchor points, removable guard rail, and T-rail with adjustable tie-down rings keep cargo locked down.
