Pickup truck rack
A pickup truck rack having a connectable arrangement of laterally spaced top horizontal assemblies, spaced vertical bars extending downwardly from each top horizontal assembly, cross bars extending between top horizontal assemblies and first laterally spaced lower horizontal bars, extending from a rearmost vertical bar forwardly to a next rearmost vertical bar and second laterally spaced lower horizontal bars, extending from a front vertical bar rearwardly of the truck rack a distance without contacting the next rearmost vertical bar.
Reconfigurable bed rack system and method
A reconfigurable bed rack system and methods of manufacture and use that is dynamic, adaptable, lightweight, and easy to install are provided. The bed rack system may include a plurality of U-shaped modular telescoping support structures that allow for a height adjustment to the rack without uninstalling the rack from the truck bed. Through the telescoping feature of the U-shaped support structures, a height dimension of the bed rack system may be increased or decreased. One or more side and/or upper rails may extend between the plurality of U-shaped modular telescoping supports for attaching one or more mounting brackets to secure equipment, tools and/or supplies to the bed rack system. The rack system may also include a tire hoist bracket assembly including a hoisting system to store a spare tire against an upper, inner surface of the rack system.

Truck body assembly and methods of making and using same
An assembly for utility truck bodies having metal and/or composite reinforcement(s) and/or foam reinforcements and/or honeycomb reinforcement/and/or wood reinforcements encapsulated within a thermoformed thermoplastic, or thermoset or fiber-reinforced thermoset walking surface floor structure of the truck bed assembly or other composite floor structure with attachable components and junctions, e.g., sidepack(s), and methods of making the same are provided.
Fishing Rod Truck Rack
The fishing rod rack gives the user a place to secure several fishing rods in a truck bed. The fishing rods are held by clips positioned on two posts, which are inserted into openings in the truck bed. The secure clips prevent the fishing rods from falling out of the rack, but the clips can also be adjusted and opened so the fishing rods may quickly be removed once needed. Furthermore, there is a rubber string on each post that runs from the top of the post to an eye hook towards the base of said post.

All-terrain vehicle
An all-terrain vehicle includes a frame, a plurality of ground-engaging members for supporting the frame, an outer body supported by the frame, and a cargo rack pivotably coupled to the outer body. The cargo rack is moveably between a closed position and an opened position and includes a hinge assembly comprising hinge leaves and a removable hinge pin.
Releasable Attachment Device
A releasable attachment device for mounting a component to a t-slot or similar channel includes an actuator for latching, unlatching, and disengaging a bolt from the t-slot or similar channel. In the latched configuration the releasable attachment device secures the component to the t-slot. The actuator may comprise a lever for rotating a cam mechanism on a first axis. The rotation of the cam mechanism translates a bolt from a latched position to an unlatched position. The actuator may rotate in a second axis to rotate the bolt from an unlatched position to a disengaged position. In the disengaged position the releasable attachment device may be removed from the t-slot. The device may have an adjustment bolt to adjust the device to secure to different sizes of t-channels.
