A utility wall for a pickup truck includes: a first portion disposed along a first plane and including alternating first and second vertical columns of apertures, where: the first vertical columns include a vertically repeating pattern including: first rectangular apertures with longer sides oriented in a first direction; ovular apertures; and circular apertures; and the second vertical columns include second rectangular apertures with longer sides oriented in a second direction that is different than the first direction; second and third portions disposed along a second plane that is parallel to the first plane, the second and third portions including bolt apertures through which bolts can extend to bolt the utility wall to the pickup truck; a first c-shaped portion that connects a first end of the first portion to the second portion; and a second c-shaped portion that connects a second end of the first portion to the third portion.
Adaptable truck bed storage systems
A vehicle that includes an adaptable truck bed storage system includes a truck bed with a first sidewall and a second sidewall. The adaptable truck bed storage system is configured to receive accessories and includes an anchoring assembly that includes a first fixed end coupled to the first sidewall and a second fixed end coupled to the second sidewall. The anchoring assembly includes at least one pin. The adaptable truck bed storage system further includes an indexable center bar that extends between the first fixed end and the second fixed end. The indexable center bar includes a plurality of accessory channels on a plurality of sides of the indexable center bar. The accessory channels extend at least a portion of a length of the indexable center bar. The indexable center bar is indexable between a plurality of discrete positions and the pin locks the indexable center bar in one of the discrete positions to adapt the adaptable truck bed storage system.
Fastening system with a load rail and a load slide, in particular for a pick-up truck
A fastening system for fastening loads on vehicles includes a load slide arranged on and movable on a load rail along an extension direction. The load slide includes a fastening device for fastening a securing element and is lockable at different travel positions on the load rail. On the outside of the load rail a plurality of locking recesses are formed along the extension direction. The load slide includes a rotatably mounted cam, which is rigidly connected to an actuating element and which can be rotated with the actuating element between a locked position and an unlocked position. In the locked position, the cam can engage with one of the locking recesses and thus lock the travel position of the load slide. In the unlocked position, the cam is disengaged with respect to the locking recesses and the load slide can thus be moved on the load rail.
Transport system for vehicles with platforms with two fixed sidewalls
A standalone adjustable transportation system that is designed to be positioned on a platform of a vehicle that has two fixed sidewalls that includes a cargo carrier basket with a height ranging from 50 cm to 90 cm with four upper corners to each of which is connected a hollow tube, four adjustable legs that each one of them has a trailer jack that is designed to control the length of the adjustable leg and four connecting rods that each of which can be inserted into said hollow tubes. The cargo carrier basket while positioned on the platform that has two fixed sidewalls can be connected in its four top corners to the four adjustable legs by the four connecting rods over said two fixed sidewalls.
Modular truck bed rack system and portions thereof
A rack system that is configured to allow the omission of cross bars. The cross bars can be easily removable and replaceable or can be adjustable along a length of the rack system. In some configurations, the rack system includes at least one side support arrangement comprising a first vertical support and a second vertical support. Two or more side support arrangements can be provided on each side of the truck bed. Pairs of support arrangements on one side of the truck bed can be connected by one or more longitudinal supports. Accessories, such as tool boxes or gas cans, can be connected to the one or more longitudinal supports.
Accessible rear seat latch release
A rear seat latch release device is easily installed to a portion of a rear seat holding mechanism so the rear seat can be released and more effectively folded down. The rear seat latch release device is specifically designed to surround the factory latch, and allow a pull strap to be added, which can more easily and effectively operate the rear seat latch. Components of the rear seat latch release device are designed to easily cooperate with several variations in the factory latch, thereby allowing installation in many different situations.
QUICK-DETACH STORAGE SYSTEM WITH CONFIGURABLE COMPARTMENTS FOR PICKUP TRUCK BED
A quick-detach storage system with configurable compartments for a vehicle bed is provided. An example lightweight system has a rail member that can be quickly attached to and removed from the bed of a pickup truck by a single user standing near the pickup. A sliding member extends from the rail past the end of the tailgate of the pickup or other vehicle, allowing the user to attach and detach baskets and containers to the sliding member. The baskets and containers can then be retracted back into the pickup bed along the rail. Various containers of the system are outfitted to hold liquids, grocery items, tools, bicycles, and other objects for easy loading into the bed of the pickup, where the items remain secure. In an embodiment, multiple instances of the quick-detach storage system may be joined with each other.
Coupling for multi-piece steering system rack
A rack assembly for a vehicle steering system includes a first rack component extending longitudinally from a first outer end to a first inner end, the first rack component having a first shoulder extending radially outwardly from a neck region to a head region. The rack assembly also includes a second rack component extending longitudinally from a second outer end to a second inner end, the second rack component having a second shoulder extending radially outwardly from a neck region to a head region. The rack assembly further includes a coupling assembly having an inner surface defining a hollow region that the head region of the first rack component and the head region of the second rack component are each disposed within, the inner surface having a first radial protrusion in abutment with the first shoulder and a second radial protrusion in abutment with the second shoulder.
Modular Vehicle Mounted Rack System
A vehicle rack system includes elongate structural members coupled together to form a rack for use on or within a vehicle's cargo area. At least one of the elongate structural members has an elongate pressure tight lumen for holding a fluid therein, and a nozzle allows the fluid to enter and exit the lumen. A vehicle having a rack system includes a vehicle and a plurality of elongate structural members removably coupled together to form a rack removably coupled to the vehicle. A first of the members has a longitudinal slot between and behind a pair of flanges. An anchor is positioned in the slot, and the anchor is irremovable from the slot while the system is at an assembled configuration. The anchor is removable from the slot while the system is at unassembled configuration. The anchor is used to secure the first member to a second of the members.
STORAGE ASSEMBLY FOR A HEADACHE RACK
A storage assembly, including a headache rack to removably connect to a vehicle, at least one storage container removably connected to at least a portion of the headache rack to store at least one first item therein, and a plurality of mounting assemblies, each of the plurality of mounting assemblies including a support beam removably connected to at least a portion of a rear portion of the headache rack, a mounting beam perpendicularly disposed away from the support beam with respect to a first direction to connect to the vehicle, and a stabilizing beam angularly disposed away from the mounting beam toward the support beam with respect to a second direction different from the first direction to prevent the support beam and the headache rack from moving.
