i purchased a used (almost new) bed extender with all the hardware. but, i would like someone that has one installed to measure exactly where the holes for the mounting hardware are located. can someone help me out?

 

DOH! I think I was supposed to take pictures of this and post it.

New, they come with a template... I know that you got yours used.

I'll get some pictures with the tape measure, mounted and unmounted.

 

thank you I-menace. that will help a lot.

 

try a web site for an aftermarket on and see if they have printable templates

 

I took a few pictures with measurements and without.
I'll upload them in a minute

I put the tape measure in the corner of the bed for the height measurements, NOT THE BED LINER!

I installed the main bolt first, then put the bed extender on, and makred the hole where the "lock, stopper, pluger" whatever you call it goes, and drill it out. Then I put some anti-rust stuff on the holes.

Let me know if you need more measurements. Getting themain support bolt lined up isn't that important, you'll have the rough measurements.

For the top hole, I wanted the bed extender to have some pressure on the tailgate when it was open to prevent it from bouncing. The rubber snubbers on the extender are actually a little compressed against the tailgate when it's open.

I have a spoiler on my truck (cervani) and I didn't want the tailgate to move at all when it was open.

 

ttt incase he missed it.
