Cargo bar

Philipgonzales3 · June 19, 2019

Anyone try one of these out yet? I bought this one on Amazon for $25. Supposedly the ratcheting ones can be hard to adjust and may not fit depending on how the teeth light up or what not.

Going to need to carry an ice chest around for my daughter's Bday party so figured might try it out so the ice chest doesn't slide around. I also have those ratcheting tie down straps but figured this may work. Also can come in handy when I go get groceries lol.

Bummer, I thought I had read that but was too lazy to go out and measure it. Lol. Oh well. I'm going to see if they make any ones longer than 70".

Looks like this one is 73".

Based on my crappy measuring skills it should fit...maybe... Lol

Edit: oh wait 74" should fit for sure I think.

Ok, so I just bought this one. Plan to add a tonneau cover also. I think I'm going to go with the bakflip MX4

Bed extender is the way to go. I had one of those for a while with my old truck but went to a bed extender and one you get one it'll be a must have on every truck...

For that I would have bought a truck with a bigger bed lol. IDK for some reason I'm just not feeling it. I think that's more for people who haul more stuff than I plan to.
