I just set the parkin brake so I can lift up the front and stand the fourwheeler straight up. You gotta be sure to turn off the gas though. Release that parking brake and then roll the fourwheeler up to the truck and let the front tires sit on the tailgate. On a good day I can lift up the back and get the fourwheeler up in the bed but some days I need an extra hand. It's a workout but it beats paying $150 for ramps. This is a only 350 pound YFZ450 though.

 

I either do the same thing as Captain Morgan, or I have a set of ramps from Walmart, they are 2 seperate ramps and fold up small enough to put inside my truck when I leave to ride. I don't like to back my quad down the ramp, I just pull it to the tailgate,hold the back end up and pull it out so it falls on all 4's...
also bigdad your rappy is 396lbs dry, add oil,gas, coolant and your up to about 430 or so...

I knew that was you man, hey the rappy forum isn't working for me? how bout you?

 

weird, tried to just get on and it wouldn't work...

 

I got in now, and answered you PM...

Now with being on both forums it's hard to keep up with the post's...

 

the things we do to save money on gas these days

 

thats a great way to transport two atvs, are the straps strong enough to hold all that weight on the back of the truck? i would be scared to drive behind you when you got those on the bed

 

Of course you could always get a 4wheeler that won't fit in your bed! So you have a reason to get a trailer! Its what I did!

 

Yea I'm wanting one of these.



Most will haul 4, 4whlrs and 2 bikes, plus have a take along garage, plus have a place to sleep, eat and take a crap!

 

Yea the straps are more than strong enough and the backrack is a perfect place to hook up to. After 2 tries we found out that this way works alot better.

 

is that a tool box in front of yours?
without it you could do it really easy...
like this.

 

I used to, when I had a 4WD truck, bury the rear wheels to the axle, and pop a small wheelie into the bed. Then I'd put it in 4LO, drive out of the hole, and fill the hole in with a shovel. Easiest method I ever found.

 

Shovel????

Isnt that one of those large Spoon shaped things????

I belive it is, yea those don't fit my hands. I try to avoid those as much as possiable.

 

I almost did the same thing on my 2005 660 Raptor. My truck not lifted but it is hard to load a Raptor on flat ground. The thing wants to bottom out going up the ramps. I have to back up against a hill or ditch. Then I put the ramps down and load it.
