I was bought out by Ace.

I brought a large order of 40 bags to a local Ace Hardware last weekend. I did not post as I have been extremely busy with my shop build. But I am now out of wood.

I've never seen that cage on the back of a truck, what is that and where from?

Me neither, this member left the forum tho so I don’t think you’ll get a response from him, maybe someone else knows.

The OP's truck is a Titan. I think Nissan stopped making them, but other manufactures make bed extenders also.

 

[Seachaser]

Yes, I think the Titan came with it. Maybe another smaller truck did also.

One little ford truck had it too.

It was the explorer sport trac. Not a truck, a little suv.

It is a Bed Extender, standard pickup accessory. I’ve gotten them on all my pickups for years. You can either take them off, they just lift out, or flip them back in to the bed when not in use. I usually keep mine flipped back in the bed and use it as a divider. I can carry my gas, etc, back as far as possible from the cab. You have to have bed rails to attach them to. Be advised that on some trucks, like a Tacoma I had, the extender bolts to just one position where when extended it goes out over the tail gate. On Nissans the Extender will slide up and down the bed (hope that made sense).

Beat me to it!

Bed extender so you can use the additional space provided with the tailgate down, and still contain the load

I wouldn’t used it for anything heavy tailgates aren’t made to be load bearing . Saw a guy drop a load of block that was on the tailgate with one of those extenders . Center of the gate bent into a V shape and the cables mounting points broke off

I have one of these, also can make them in any size that would be infinitely more sturdy. The one i have was off a Honda Ridgeline, though i didn't believe it was for the risking because it didn't clip into the hinges like it was supposed to.

That's when experienced creative thinkers use logic to prevent issues like damaged tailgates and having to pick up the mess of dropped loads etc. If one anticipates a load of material extending past the edge of the bed onto the down portion of tailgate, put full length 2x6's front to back and some 3/4 plywood down flat to stack block etc on.
