Abstract: A pair of elongated protector strips are placed in a pickup truck bed to protect the bed and the tailgate from damage by snowmobile skis when the snowmobile is loaded and unloaded to and from the truck bed. The strips are laterally spaced apart to align with the snowmobile skis. Each strip has a downwardly extending block or leg which fits into the gap between the rear of the truck bed and the bottom edge of the open tailgate, thereby preventing longitudinal movement of the strips during use. Each strip includes a cut-resistant upper surface received in a lower metal channel. The strips do not need to be fixed or attached to the truck bed or tailgate.

Abstract: A truck bed extender and ramp assembly mounts to the hitch receiver of a pickup truck to allow four-wheeled vehicles to be driven into and out of the truck bed, with the rear wheels of the vehicle being supported by a crossbar spaced rearwardly from the open tailgate of the truck. The assembly includes ramps pivotally mounted to the crossbar for movement between a lowered use position for loading and unloading the vehicle and a raised transport position. The ramps automatically pivot on the crossbar when the rear wheels of the vehicle pass over the crossbar. The ramps include telescoping sections to adjust the length of the ramps.
