loading the DS in the truck


Recommended Posts

I had a fuggin :thumb: the last time I was loading the DS in the back of my truck with the ATV ramps I have. the truck sits pretty high, and the incline on the ramp is :MBdance::dunno: (my ranger takes up all the room in my 19 ft hauler w/ 10 ft of cargo space

anyway, the torque from the back wheels spun the ramp off the tailgate, and :dope: i went :clap:

anyway....i was thinking...theoretically, could I put the quad backwards into the hauler, lower the hauler ramp to the tailgate, and drive up the ramp, onto the tailgate, and into the bed??

what do you guys think??

thanks BITCHEZZZZZZZZ

:laughing:

that is a good idea NIck, never thought about that...........but....

the bike's so big that it fills up the back of my truck, with only about 4-5 inches from the back wheels to the tailgate, and the front tires go right up against the wheelwells when loading. I don't strap it down, just lock the parking brake........

i will try that tie down trick

thanks

imagine that........some useful information to help solve a problem pete and craig

:grin:

You honestly have never heard of strapping the ramp to the truck? Most ramps even come with straps just for that purpose.

the ramp I have was given to me by a neighbor who found it in a house he was renovating. it had chains with hooks on it, that attach to the tailgate, but they are all bent to hell.

never seen one with a strap, but that is what I will try!!

You can just put a regular or ratchet type strap about mid way down the ramp and hook it to your hitch. That way you don't spit the ramp out. :grin: It's always worked good for me. :D

yeah, Ive already been out in the driveway fuggin wit it...seems to work ok

when I dumped it, the bike fell off the back of the truck, and me on my back behind the quad, and it was tipping toward me :thumb:

it was a good thing the fall brought my legs up, or that fat filthy beast would have fallen right on me. I was able to put my legs on the gas tank to stop it from falling until one of the camp foolios could get over there (he had to put down the patron and shot glass first) :grin:

Fuggin Sissy, :booty: a real DS rider would park his truck 30ft from a 4ft high dirt ramp, hit that bad boy 4th gear pinned, :thumb: then grab and hand full of those badazz DS brakes. :rockon: With all of that world renowned travel that the DS has it would be a nice, smooth, gentle landing. Don't be such a little b*tch. :bump:

And while we're on the topic, don't act like it would have been the first time that the old Sand Pig mounted you. :porn: :flipoff::idiot: Remeber some of us witnessed it first hand. :dope: :dunce: :blury:

tie down report

loading up the bike in the truck to get to the dunes....everything worked fine, but I never had a problem loading up on the hard ground.

then, loading up on the sand :barf: the same shizzle happened. fell back on my azz, even with the tie downs racheted super tight tothe clamp holes on the receiver. :lol:

I trully think that with the soft sand, the ramp sinks a couple inches, thus making the angle too steep to ride up.

I will just bury my back axle next time to lower the tailgate, as to relax the angle of approach.

or just get a new fugging hauler that can hold all my sheet :porn:
