Claim:
A vehicular cargo space extender assembly comprising: a frame assembly adapted for slidable mounting to a vehicular cargo space, the frame assembly being slidable between an extended position and a retracted position relative to the cargo space; wherein, in the extended position, the frame assembly extends effectively increases the length of the vehicular cargo space and, in the retracted position, the frame assembly fits within the vehicular cargo space without obstructing an unextended length thereof; wherein the frame assembly includes a base and a pair of opposed sidewalls extending upward therefrom and, in the extended position, at least portions of the base and sidewalls extend beyond the unextended length of the vehicular cargo space and partially bound the extended length thereof; wherein the frame assembly further includes a frame assembly tailgate rotatably connected with the base and rotatable between a closed position, perpendicular with the base and abutting rearward ends of the sidewalls, and a lowered position, substantially coplanar with the base; and wherein the frame assembly further includes a frame assembly forward gate rotatably connected with the base and rotatable between a closed position, perpendicular with the base and abutting forward ends of the sidewalls, and a lowered position, substantially coplanar with the base.
