Can you post a pic of your set up?

This is a great thread- I think it come down to what a guy needs to get the job done.. Here in CA you can't exceed 55 with a trailer anywhere ever, so that's a big pain. In our case, the desert car in the pic wouldn't fit in the toyhauler, and my sweet wife wouldn't agree to a bigger trailer, so I built this rack- not pretty, but it got the job done. Now that we're getting a RZR that will fit in the truck bed, I'll transport it in there when we don't take the toyhauler..

YES they will fit... Heres mine in the back of my 2007 ford f150 with a 6.5 foot bed... A very tight fit... Just make sure you put something between the back of your rzr and the truck or you will go through the window....

Wow it fits so well you can't even see it

I had a welder make a hitch thing to support the ramps. With out it there would be a lot of weight on the tail gate while loading. Wanted him to make an extension to connect to the bed (over the gate) but never got around to it. So I just had to make one out of wood. Since the gate was higher then the bed turned into a fun exercise. (2 x 12 notched for wheel wells and supported at end of bed with 2 x 4) Bowed upwards. Supported by more wood at end of gate on top of hitch support) If there was duct tape involved it would be perfect. I will try to take a picture and post when I get back in ten days.

I just picked up my 09 long bed dodge. I measure just about 60 1/4" at the tailgate. The RZR appears to measure about 62" outside of tires. May be a slight load on it. So the key is ratcheting the control arms together? Easier to do with a jack, then ratchet tight I would assume..May be a little more trouble out in the sand when leaving? Putting the load on the tail gate or removing? Using heavy duty ramps?

Ratchet tie the a-arms (you can do it without a jack- just push up as you go)
750 lbs folding 7.5 ft alum ramps.



I choose to winch it in for safety and ease.

No problem with the weight on tailgate?

I usually dont run the gate. I have a long bed.
If I did- I would add an extra support from the latch to the latch striker.
Another bar or cable for 2 on each side.
Do not rely on the single cables only.

For loading only - no problem with my Ford gate.

Great set up 'Total Loss'...I was thinking about winching it in also....but I don't have an anchor point. That looks like a good one in the pic. Did you purchase that or was it fabbed? Also, I see you have the winch line going back...where is that attaching to? Is the hook like a winch block? Is is easier than just attaching the winch hook to the anchor?

So your ramps clear the bumper without the tailgate on ?
Can you close tailgate with rzr loaded ?

If i defate all my tires i can close my tailgate. The width i have bout inch n a half to spare on each side. I do have an 01 chev dually so im not sure if that matters.

my S fits on the back of my mega cab. I never "ride" up or down on the rams, way too dangerous. I use my XT30 with remote to pull it into the back as well as let it out nice and slow while I stay clear.

dokxray....have you got any pics of your set up?

Some more.

6x6 wood blocks stacked on the bumper.





Snatch strap I had laying around wrapped around the rear bumper- allows the winch to actually pull the rear upward over the wheelwells and acts as a tie in for the car. If you do not have this setup- the winch (due to my low mount point on the bed floor) will try to pull the ft wheels down when they hit the wheelwells of the truck-bed. With this setup- I do not even have to be in the car when loading. I walk along side it and steer as it goes in.
