While searching Nissan USA I found a fixed bed extender, part# 999T7BR200. The site doesn't give any details such as whether or not it rotates 180 degrees to fit inside the bed. It also gives no installations instructions, which is frustrating because I think it has only one bracket that mounts at the tie-down point (that's exactly what I want). Anyone out there have one?
Need help selecting a bed liner, cover and extender, please.
Hi. I just brought home a dark blue SV yesterday (and sold my Dakota this morning!). I’m into motorcycles and trap shooting so I want to haul bikes and shooting equipment in the bed. My Dakota had a spray-in liner and a removable, lockable hard cover that worked great.
The bed in my Frontier is about five inches shorter than my old Dakota, which reminds me of my days with an S-10 – the rear wheel of my bike will be on the tailgate. It’s no big deal, I hauled a ton of bikes that way with no problems, but it would be nice to add a bed extender. This is where things get complicated.
It appears the factory system has a bracket that bolts to the existing tie down on the bottom. The top fits into a Utili-Track. That may suck in two ways. First, it means drilling into the side rail to mount the track (being a brand-new truck with 8 miles on it I twitch when I think about taking a drill to it). Second, I believe the track will obstruct the necessary mounting hardware for a bed cover.
It looks like the Amp Research product eliminates the Utili-Track but still requires drilling to mount brackets. The only alternative I can think of is a flexible net but then I only have two tie-downs in the back of the bed.
Does anyone out there possibly have the combination of products that I want on their Frontier?

Awesome - thank you so much! Is that the Nissan model? Does it just have one bracket on each side that bolts to the rear factory tie down points?Mine rotates back into the bed when not in use.
^ Good grief, I didn't intend for you to go through so much trouble. Thank you very much - that was very nice of you!
This is getting a little more involved than I planned. I've been burning up Google. It appears the stock extender mounts in the vertical position which of course is blocked by the bike. Plus, it doesn't clear the rear wheel. I'll keep digging.
Right now I searching for how the Utilitrac rails mount to the bed floor. I have four holes in my bed that I assumed led to the frame but when I pulled the plugs I saw my garage floor.
These Frontiers, they're a different breed.

You posted just as I found the thread that explains the same. Son of a freaking buck. I passed on the exact same truck as mine but with the value package. All that I really wanted was the bed tracks which I assumed I could add on my own.There are covers that are designed to work with the utilitrack in place, but if I remember right, the box with the utilitack is different than the one without.
What a kick in the pants. I'm exhausted. I'm going to bed. :-(
Follow the link below to the Nissan eSTORE. Should be part number 999T7BR190.So, anyone know the part number for the sliding bed extender that fits the 2016 Nissan Frontier?
