time to revive this thread again to see what others are using.

I have a backyard bolt on one. It’s pretty sweet.

Yes, that one looks pretty awesome!

I put a piece of ply wood in the box to protect my box liner. And i have a ramp from princess auto. 400$ total cause ply wood was expensive at the time

Can work as a tilt deck and easy to switch between trucks. With this truck the plywood doubled as a ramp

I made this outta C chanel on the sides and 2”x1/4 flat for the cross beams. Except at the end I used 1x1 tubing to support the weight of the sled. You could make the same outta aluminum and it’d be even lighter. Ramp slides in underneath. Tailgate got pitted a bit but not bad. Could put that clear protective stuff on your tailgate if you want

That looks great. not exactly what I want to do but it still looks great. How long did you make your ramp? Also what are the white superglides you have there? I never have seen ones like this before.

I believe the ramp is 7.5 feet. It is the same length as the deck. And I made the length equal to my 2016 short box 1/2 ton with the tailgate down. The glides are puck board from hockey rink boards. I grooved them with the dado blade on the table saw. Super durable

sweet looking setup!! So the deck can be folded and stored in the truck but is the ramp then too long and have to be removed if you are closing your tailgate?

Honestly if I was going to live the revy sled bum lifestyle for a winter I would rock a sheet of ply wood with a shitty pre destroyed tailgate. Then spend my single loader sled ramp fund on making sure I had a long box with a tall fiberglass topper on it. As much as I hate tarping, I really hate a salty sled. That’s the dream. As for now I will keep pulling an enclosed and being a weekend warrior.

The ramp is under everything. It’s only 6’ so you can close the tailgate.

I use a marlon single loader. It’s fine but don’t like the tailgate exposed and don’t like lack of storage in box, and it’s easy to steal if a sled isn’t sitting on it. For my half ton 6.5 box was looking at limitless tonneau with sled setup but it’s crazy money and I suspect tough resale. Really thinking about getting a truckboss without slides or just a standard deck and use as a single with sled in middle, at least there’s resale on it and lots of used available. Internal debate gives me a headache!

I really like the back yard bolt-ons on the best but I started fabbing up the recramp style. just don't know of anyone that has one. I cant seem to find the hinge in Canada, only in the States. its like the hinge on the top of a ladder, looks like this picture. If you know of anywhere I could find these in Canada let me know. its called a hinge lock assembly or inner lock kit or if I could just find a damaged ladder I could recycle some parts. thanks in advance!

I have a couple ladders for parts here they have hooks up top for hanging on wire
never looked to see how they lock in before
