I like this method. Just hardboard and plywood ... no fancy hardware. Definitely this is going to be my inspiration.

Noice! I usually HATE watching KZfaq instructional videos.... I'd rather read an Instructable over watching most people's videos but, you sir nailed it. No annoying music, no hour and a half segments where you don't say anything, everything was to the point yet detailed enough for people watching, to grasp the concept or instruction and mimic it at home. Hats off to you sir. I will be subscribing

I actually built this about 2 years ago and it works great!! Just be sure that you allow that felt to set in place first, otherwise it can rub off. The only other thing is, weight is a factor! I have been tinkering with the idea of replacing the felt slide with wheel bearings from Harbor Freight, hoping it will make the slide movement a little easier, but just haven't done it. Great design and I show it off to everyone who has a truck and tell them they need to build one themselves! Great job Jeremy!!

Great design...simple, effective, and inexpensive...Video incorporated humor, animals, and easy to follow instructions...My 2005 Avalanche will be getting one of these this weekend...I think the cat loves you...Thanks for this great video...Larry

Love the simplicity! May not be as robust as a commercial product, but totally adequate for day-to-day use. The best part is how low it is and does not sacrifice much of the headroom under the tonneau cover. It's a winner.

Made one very similar, but used indoor/outdoor carpet on the top of the drawer. Also took strips of Formica and lined the boards where you put the felt. Everything works like a charm. No pealing and no problem. Slides very easily.

Made one for my Avalanche, couldn't be happier with it, so simple works so well with less than an inch loss of height. Thanks!

This is so good! I like that you don't lose much height at all for drawer slides or bearings or wheels, the essence of simplicity. It is one BIG step above my current bed slide which is a piece of cardboard that really doesn't slide well at all.

I found your video while searching for ideas about bed slides. I stole your design and it is excellent. I used a lot more felt in the hopes of improving the slide with a lot of weight on it. I used outdoor carpeting on it to keep things from moving around. I also put tie downs on the tops of the sides to strap down items that might tip over. Works perfectly. Although, with heavy items, it does require some effort to pull out and push back. Still, it is better than a 1500 permanent slide that robs 3" of height in the bed. Thanks for showing me how to make this!

Good idea and really useful. Made one for my F150 - sure beats the restraints I was using and a lot better for my knees. Video was well done and to the point. Thanks for the tip.

This video should be the top result for bed slides. It deserves all the likes. I’m going to make this for my truck tomorrow.

Just finished my slide for my F150 based on your design, works great, thanks for the tip.

You nailed it! Easy,cheap,fast and just works...

I made one similar to this. I put Formica slides from a countertop under mine for the slides and put indoor/outdoor carpeting on the top so nothing would slide around. It works really well.

Thanks from Australia! Great idea! I like the low profile compared to any bearing model, giving you some more vertical space. The felt is fine and I've mounted the Milwaukee Packout system onto the slide, full of heavy tools and it works well! Video is straight to the point, no nonsense.

Great video, thanks for sharing! This is exactly what I want to do with my truck, love the KISS method. Sometimes we overthink things. Thanks again!!

Thanks for this from the UK. Quick and simple, just what I was after, I would never have thought of using felt and a slippy surface.

Just made one this aft 67 bucks Home Depot and one hour labour this is what i always wanted a slide out for my Avalanche works awesome ***** thx Jeremy.

Really smart! Thanks for sharing to help the guy like me that knows what he wants but not sure how to bring it to fruition. Nice job.

Genius! Simplicity at its finest

Simple and ingenious! Thanks for sharing!

Sir, Keep it simple I always say. Which you did just that. Brother my hat off to you for a great idea and being down to earth when doing the video. You rock!

Came across this looking for ideas to put a 6 foot long slide in our rv pass through. Going with 1/2" and glue a piece of hard board to it since the pass is carpeted. Then I'll add some collapsing legs for support... Simplest solutions are always the best IMO ... Great work bud! You did all the hard work for us.

....i thought I was tripping when he started kicking the truck 😂😂😂

Much WIN. Excellent use of space and materials. Stay gold.

Nicely done, sir! Simplicity at it's finest and most functional design. Yours if the first video I found, once I had the idea to make one for the 2002 Avalanche I just purchased. Suits my needs perfectly! Kudos to you, and hope the soccer game was a good one.

Easiest simple design I’ve seen. I’m gonna have to give this a try! 👍🏻

I like the low profile design and the simplicity. Nice job!

This is nice because it doesn’t take up height like a drawer system, and easy to remove if doing work that requires the whole bed (mulch). Also much cheaper! Thanks!

Simple,! Efficient,! Effective,! That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing!

Jerem's Projects, Thank you for this brilliant idea. It works like a charm for me ! Thanks for sharing.

I've seen a lot of KZfaq videos on sliding floors for truck beds and your version is the simplest and cheapest way to go I am going to build one for my truck. I like your black cat and little dog I have several my self great idea AL from upstate New York 👍👍👍👍👍

Thanks. I just bought an old Chevrolet Avalanche 2004. And I have a lot to do! Good luck with everything! Greetings from Russia!

Nice and simple. I will have to try this for my truck. Thanks for sharing.

Nice work. On my 2018 Chevy 1500 I have the PowertraxPRO XR electric retractable truck bed cover with a full Bed rug. I purchased a Plano Heavy-Duty Sportsman's Trunk and use it to hold grocery's and use the lid for the same. I have been thinking of making a full bed slider and your video was inspiring. Thanks.

Great ideas are usually simple. This should be perfect for by truck. I will put higher edging so things don't fall off the side or front. Thanks Jeremy.

I made one for my Ford Ranger 2 years ago and painted it black ,it's still going strong, thanks to this video,and it's saved so much pain on my knees🤘

Thanks. Just got my 2006 6 months ago. Now I need the slide for my golf clubs and fishing gear.

Nicely Done man, simple and will be functional. going to have to make one for my Av.

Love this! Building mine tomorrow many thanks for sharing 👍🏼👌

Well done. Just what I was looking for. Thanks.

I like the simplicity - a lot of other DIY slide videos are nicely engineered, but they use a lot of space up with rows of casters and/or drawers.. this is efficient and simple.. I like the bowlines for stopping it.. just so nicely simple and effective

Tnx, Built one last wkend for the Ranger > your vid made it look doable, even for non-woodworking guy. Turned out great > I cut some slots in upright boards to run some 3/4" dowels across (to keep things in place).

Simple, elegant and effective, love it

I've been thinking about using two side by side sheets of 1/4" ply to slide my camping gear forward to the tailgate. Most things are compartmentalized in plastic totes so I want a simple solution instead of building large slide outs boxes. Thanks for the ideas.

Good job! I am using your idea in the next few weeks. Thank you for posting this.

Sweet looking truck! And very ingenious!

Great idea. Simple, quick and easy.

Thanks for posting your video. I added large furniture movers, liquid nailed them. The board floats now.

Simplicity and functionality at its best.

The BEST solution to my quest for my GX470. Thank you Jeremy/

So stupidly simple it's brilliant. I'm going copy your idea for my F150 5.5' bed. Good looking black cat too.

I like this. Going to do this for my Tacoma. Light duty recreational use. This is cheap and not much can go wrong with it. Probably use a mesh tarp to hold things in place with some clips.

For anyone looking to try this. Take from this what you will, but I just built exactly this setup while using a large sheet of suede instead of felt strips. And with about 350lb of tools on the tray there’s no way to make it work. I don’t think felt would have been any better, but in my opinion, opposing UHMW strips sliding on each other will be the best way to make the manual pull system work with any weight on it without slides.

I admire how you've made the complex simple. Glad I found your video. Best DIY video I've seen in a long time. 1 questions-1 suggestion. Have you or anyone, used furniture sliders instead of the felt. I live down a dirt road and even with a tonneau cover, dust gets in. It may be easier to clean the sliders than the felt...just wondering. The suggestion...take some Johnson's Paste Wax in the yellow can, and wax the hardboard/Masonite. I've used it on many hardboard projects and it makes it twice as slick and will help with the moisture issues. Also, try painting the underside and edges of the hardboard with flat exterior paint to seal from moisture. It will still grip the rubber mat but will be more water resistant. Thanks.

Thanks for Sharing. I guess I’ll be putting my tools to use soon.

Well done, that looks like something I can do.

Great solution! Well done.

Love the stoppers! Dirt simple! And personally, all you need to do is to screw it in from the bottom. But I love this!

Great project buddy thanks!!!

I did something similar a couple of years ago, but put 2 inch wheels on it, and made aluminum tracks for the wheels to roll in. Then I glued indoor/outdoor carpet on the whole thing. I load a lot of weight, so I don't know if the slide would move in and out easily without wheels.

Nicely done!

Love it.. And also your pets the kitty and the dog

Thanks, going to use this for my Rams 1500/2500.

Great idea, and simple

Great vid and thanks for sharing. Oh and by the way, on my Ram 1500, I only need to kick the tire once to open the bed cover. They have an upgrade that allows you to just say “Cover, Open half way”, to operate it….😎

Great idea. Thanks

Loved the kick feature! Wish they had that for x wives!

i recently bought a pick up truck and needed a bed slide to get my equipment that i will use often. wanting to save money and space i tried this version. i just finished it yesterday and while it works its not as easy to use as i had hoped. with about 200lbs on the slide (two road cases about 40lbs each, wheeled cart, clothing bag, back drop stands in soft zipper case and anther small case and it was difficult to slide out. not impossible but not super simple. you really have to use some strength to get it to slide out. and once it hit the tailgate it was like hitting the brakes. so i cut a piece of hardboard and velcroed it to the inside of the tail gate and that helped but still not super easy. pushing it all back in was a job too! over all its a neat idea and if you are not putting much weight then it should be great for you but 200lbs or more and prepare for a work out. by the way i used 3/4 inch plywood due to knowing ahead of time i would be putting heavier equipment in there. it works for now but most likely will invest in a real bed slide down the road.

Awesome, thanks for sharing!

That is so awesome thank you for sharing!!

Perfect! Beats $800.00 and up to get the same results. Thanks for uploading.

Nice and simple. Like all good ideas.

Great content brother.

elegant in it's simplicity

Very cool, been thinking about replacing my old ram with an Avalanche.

Great idea. What a lovely dog is he she old I love jack russells

That's awesome. Smart dude 👌

Great job!

thank u! I took ur advice and it worked out great! I just saved $$$$$

My neighbor made one based on your video...worked perfectly....great design...worked very well.....until it rained....now its a buckled up mess of warped wood. I told him it would only work if you have a topper or tonneau cover to keep it dry.

Well done!

Good idea. The main thing keeping me from putting a slide in my 80 series land cruiser is the height of the slider mechanism. I'll probably start with this now, to see how much we use it. Easy removal is handy, too.

I like your idea of this slide. !!! But can you show me how to install that kick to get rid of those nasty bed covers. I gotta get me one. thanks.

GENIOUS!!! LOVE IT!!

One of the best videos I've seen in my life

thank you. the slick board is much better than reg. plywood or the dumb particle board I was going to use.

That's really cool. I want to try that on my Avalanche,

The flex seal was a nice touch. I have a 2008, same color, with 172k.

Thanks. Like the 2 board stops w cord. Am off the buy plywood ha ha

Perfectly simple!

Awesome!

Is this for transporting pillows and blankets? Great idea thank you for sharing.

Good job!

You can buy glue on uhmw tape that might work for the slides. Great easy ideas you have implemented here.

Very nice!!

Ok, that was nice, i like, do I have to have the dealer turn on the kick feature with the odb or is that something I can do? mine don't work.

Brilliant!

There are several DIY bed sliders out there. THIS is nice and simple. A sheet of plywood, some 1 x 4s and a litte carpet for the bottom to slide on. Im heading to Home Dumpo now.

that is freaking brilliant! I was thinking to have small wheels all over the place but that would be too complicated of a built.
