Today we're taking a look at the Erickson sawhorse brackets for truck tailgates. Now these four brackets turn your truck's tailgate into a convenient sawhorse, when coupled with two 2 x 4s, lumber not included. It can also be used to create a tailgate extension for hauling a canoe or ladder.So I just want to show you real quick a picture that way you can get a good visual of how this functions. You can see how the brackets that I have on the table mount to the tailgate. The braces flip up, and you can slide your lumber in there. They do sit at an angle, so that way it's gonna hold the lumber.
That way you can use it as a sawhorse and work off of it. So you can use it as that, you can use it for recreation, for like a tailgate extender, as well as you can build like a little table to put on the end of it, as well as a little work station or for recreational purposes. So, gives you a good idea of how it functions, how it works, how it installs.It's a easy to use design. So these brackets mount to your truck's tailgate with the included hardware. Your 2 x 4's slide into the braces, and then the braces when they're not in use, they are able to fold flat.
That way they're out of the way. We got a really nice low-profile design, so that's gonna allow you to easily slide your cargo over your braces when they're not in use. So they don't take up much space or depth at all. Black powder-coated steel construction. It's very strong and durable.
It's also rust and corrosion resistant. And, this can be used with spray-in bed liners.With this part number, you get four brackets, each one when it comes to the measurements, edge-to-edge going this direction is about 6 1/2 inches. Edge-to-edge going this direction is about 4 inches. Again, self-tap-in screws included. And, when it comes to the recommended 2 x 4 length, it's recommended to use four-foot 2 x 4's, and then it's recommended to have these separated, I believe you need 36 inches between the brackets, approximately.That's gonna do it for today's look at the Erickson sawhorse brackets for truck tailgates..

These handy brackets let you use 2x4s to turn your pickup truck tailgate into a convenient sawhorse. They can also be used to create a tailgate extension so you can haul a canoe or an extension ladder. Installs easily with included screws.Awesome product. Simple to install. Easy to modify for individual application. I will use it to extend my 5 foot bed into an 8 to 10 foot bed to haul lumber, kayaks, anything now. Bought it 5 minutes after I saw it. Still lets me have a medium size truck for easy maneuvering in the city and parking lots but gives me the ability to haul the things I want that are too big for the bed.
Does not fit all tailgates. The screws do not attach to the bed properly because of the contour of certain beds or the door mechanism underneath. Not a universal product. The concept is good but needs to be customer vehicle or truck specific instructions.
Heather A - 03/26/2021I installed these in my truck's tailgate, and they have come in handy a few times when I needed to cut some 2x4's or when I needed to make an impromptu saw horse.
I Love it. I have used it as a saw horses on my truck and it was wonderful. I can't wait to yes it to extend my truck bed when I go fishing with a small boat
it said to install with all 4 corners on the same flat surface . this is not possible on my 2010 ford ranger tail gate .
Nice product, but thought the rings would lock down when not in use. They are very loose and will rattle. Will be adding cushioning to stop the noise.
Was great till I traded trucks
I RESCIVED NO SELF TAPING SCREWS THAT WERE LISTED ON THE PACKAGE. HOW EVER THIS LOOKS LIKE A GOOD PRODUCT,WELLMADE.FAST SHIPPING.
