Botchan Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 New to the sport and trying to figure out if I can fit two full size quads in the back of my truck. Any ideas or photos would be helpfull. Thanks. Quote
randyvw Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 first quad in bed. front tires on top of cab. then second quad humping the first quad(doggie style).......or first quad on backwards, stand on end, second quad on frontways, stand on end and tie them together(missionary position) . dont forget to turn off the gas.

jorgeloco Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Yup I stand the firt bike with the wheels on top of the cab and the second on all four wheels on the beb with the tail gate down.......oh that is with out puling my trailer. If you are going to pull a trailer then randyvw suggestion would be the best good luck don't for get your safety gear :surrender: Quote
Botchan Posted October 27, 2009 Author Posted October 27, 2009 Thanks for the replies/info. Last question - when the 1st quad is placed standing up and wheels against the cab, whats the best way to protect the cab? Tarps, sheet of plywood?? Thanks. Quote

Pull very tight in both directions and hope you dont smash your back windshield. Seen it happen a few times. Good Luck Quote
DunerDan Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 If you can get the wheels to press on the top of the cab strap it down so it cant move, window will be protected then, ratchet straps would work the best for this Quote
Vegas250rr Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 This is really your "BEST" option with a short bed, it still lets you load all cargo and stay away from a trailer... but again, with this much weight, this high from your center of gravity you do need to pay attention to your driving. Things can get really tricky REALLY FAST! Quote
jr1208 Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Use lots of straps. Pull very tight in both directions and hope you dont smash your back windshield. Seen it happen a few times. Good Luck yup i agree make sure not to use old straps... Quote
jorgeloco Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 ok I don't put anything between the tires and the cab.....I use the pull and lock straps and I haven't damage my cab or rear window or come close to it I guess been lucky..... you just need to be sure that the tires and frame of your quad clears the cab and window and you will be fine Quote
tylerthehucker Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 not if they are both yamaha's. every yamaha ive dealt with leaks like crazy when its stood up on its back end. i have a long bed and without standing one up i couldnt even get 2 in with the tailgate down. then again im not very creative. best of luck to ya and like everybody else said, lots and lots of straps Quote
Raptor0206 Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 what i did back in the day was bought 2 2x12x12' boards. Put one atv in the bed, have someone lift up the back end and then slide the boards under the tires (both front and rear) on each side. the boards should stick out pass the tail gate a foot or 2. then load the other atv onto those boards. use tie-downs to hold the atv's in place and your good to go. this was with a banshee and 02 raptor.

Quicksilver Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 (edited) It can be done as others here have said. I once had three quads standing up in the back of my longbed Dodge Ram. It sure as hell wasn't easy to get the last one in there and the tailgate wouldn't shut, so we removed it as we had to tow an RV home. I wish I had pictures since I got so many thumbs up on the trip back from Idaho. BTW, the quads were a Suzuki LT500R, a KFX 400, and a LTZ 400. Edited October 28, 2009 by Quicksilver Quote
Free Agent Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 (edited) I have 2 12' ramps that fold to 6' and store in the bed. I went this way with a cheapie travel trailer when I was a single dad living from paycheck to paychek. Worked excellent for 11 years. --- --- --- --- --- --- --- BTW: Edited October 29, 2009 by Free Agent Quote
barefoot bob Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 ive stood them up on there azzes facing each other tied them down in my shortbed dodge. didnt have to worry about my cab at all Quote
jorgeloco Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 or get a chevy long bed lol I would walk before getting a chevy :pumpkin: j/k Quote
lvmedixs Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Put the first one in backwards and stand it up, then nose in the second one. you will have to run with your tailgate down but that shouldnt be a problem. You then can even go as far as putting one dirt bike on each side above the wheel well. Just remember use good rachet straps. Quote
barefoot bob Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 or get a chevy long bed lol i would rather walk thanx though Quote
