It's been a while since I've seen some good ol' nuts-and-bolts ID, so I was happy to see Mike Jou's Ford Full Size Truck Bed Extender project. (A bed extender is a big-ass grill you can bolt onto the back of a pickup bed over the open tailgate, giving you some extra storage space.)


Detroit-based designer Jou looked at the traditional tubular bed extender, which only has one position; he then designed a more easily-configurable system, made from what looks to be plastic rather than metal, and cut the parts count in half.

Good design, good rendering, but the ortho- is what make's it pop. This help's the over all design.
