Always looking for poll ideas post them HERE or send me a PM.......
 
If it will I will strap it to my headache rack and be resting on the 2x8 at the end of my bed OR i had an H mount built for my bale spikes that kinda turns it into n over the cab rack.

If its too long for that I have an 18 ft bumper pull.
 
Depends on what it is, lol. Lumber normally goes on the 18' Car Trailer if it's a lot, otherwise cross-ways in the bed with the gate up, sticking out the right corner.
 
Up to about 10 ft I leave tailgate up. I want a cab protector roof level and hitch extender for light loads up to ~18 ft, but for now anything over ~10 ft gets the gooseneck.

Use to regularly roof carry a 17 ft canoe on a Mitsubishi Might Max. It was actually longer than the truck and felt like a sail. Once carried a 16 ft pasture fence on the Mighty Max roof and it looked funny.
 
Since I have a BURB it is normally on the roof, sticking out the passenger side window, or on a trailer.
 
With a long bed truck and tailgate down I can haul 12' stuff and only be hanging off the end a couple feet. Takes care of just about everything I need. Otherwise I've borrowed a trailer from a friend or rented one.
 
Trailer if it's too long to haul in the 6'-6" bed with gate down. Up to 12' is ok with the truck but trailer for longer.
 
Trailer if it's available, tailgate up if it's not a heavy load, tailgate down if it's heavy, and hopefully will someday build removable racks so I can haul on them.
