Dirtbikes

I strapped my buddy's motorcycle in the bed of my Ranger before... stuck the front tire in the one corner an shoved the back to the opposite corner. Shut the tailgate an piled a $h!tload of other gear in the back (we were headed up to college). Came really close to hooking a jetski trailer on the back too... lol. (Theres a pic of it on my cardomain, page three about halfway down or so)

Dunno about your Ranger, but mine came factory with some cargo cleats in each corner of the bed. I just ran a couple straps to those an a couple points on the bike. I tend to get a bit carried away with tying things down though when left to my own devices... I lost a 4x8 sheet of 1" blue foam out of the back of my Ranger when I had a cap on it... never thought it woulda come out with the cap door resting against the foam, but it did... after that I tie things down REAL good. I'll load the heck out of my truck but it'll take a case of dynamite to get it out of the bed without unstrapping it.

I usually have to put 2-3 bikes in mine when I load up. I have a 2x4 that is cut so that I can slide it into the pockets (if you want to call them that) at the front of the bed, and since it sits halfway up the bed, the tires just push on that, and not the front of the bed.


I don't mean to jack the thread, but redneckranger, do you fit your quad and bike in the bed well, or is it pretty tight, or what? I might need to do that soon, but wasn't sure if they would both fit (I have a CR125, but I'm not sure what the quad is, I know it is a sport style quad though).

I know its been a long time and this is probably a moot point but they both fit in the bed well with no problem. Takes a little persuasion but they should fit. just make sure to get the straps tight and you'll be fine.

Tie Down straps and a bed extender. I have had them for all of my trucks if I did not want to use the trailer at time. Got to haves!!!!!
