Has anyone built a tailgate extender?

Has anyone fabricated a tailgate extender or found one to fit a squarebody? Having a shortbed is awesome, but sometimes being short has its badside

It's almost motocross season here. Now that I have two bikes, when I transport them to the track I can't close the tailgate. It's annoying because then I have to bungee tie and strap down my equipment inside the bed.

I was thinking about making something out of wood or even PVC piping. I guess I would have to add some type of brackets to stay stationary in the bed for the extender to slide in and out of. Any ideas?
