I needed a way to haul my 1K after we got to our camping site in the toy-hauler, and to get to an area where we wanted to go on highway or through towns, with out having to bring along another trailer or renting one when we got there.
We have a 2007 Silverado Crew Cab short bed, so we replaced the bed with an aluminum flat bed and built an Extension-Rack which is mounted onto two additional receiver hitches that I added to the truck.
The rack unbolts and breaks down into 7 pieces that lay flat on the bed while we are traveling, and can then be mounted onto the truck and bolted together with ten 3/8" bolts.
A fold up set of ramps also lay on the bed for traveling. I’ll probably also add air bags, but it seems to ride pretty well right now.
When I get good at loading I’ll probably be backing it onto the truck. See the photo of it loaded forward.

Our friends needed to haul there XP900 and also built on of these using just the one regular receiver hitch and just one "L" bracket, he hauled all the way from eastern Ks to Moab and back which was about 950 miles one way.
