Like a Glove............ Video

[arntufun]

This is a Harbor frieght tri fold ramp ($99.00). I cut the hinges off, spaced them and test loaded the Spyder today for our trip to Maggie Valley. Ya'll stay dry on your trip, I know I will........... :roflblack: See you soon !!!! :thumbup:

[rlynchtx]

You made that look too dang easy! Very cool.

 

[Derek Paisley]

Impressive! Curious to know how the truck rode with the Spyder out back.:>

 

[flamingobabe]

that's a tight fit....but good low cost ramp...how do you tie it down

 

[acinpcola]

What make and year is your truck? How do you tie it down? What is the bed length of the truck? opcorn::bbq:

 

[Jeriatric]

Hope you have luck finding a hump in Maggie Valley :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

Randy,
I really hate to "Pee on your Parade"; it appeared that you were backing up into the truck from an elevated position on the lawn. Therefore; the ramps were not at as steep of an angle as what you might actually encounter... I'd hate to see you doing this dance... :gaah:
Or was it just my eyes and the angle of the camera? :shocked:
Even with the "Sporty-Shorty" windshield; I'd consider removing it... :thumbup:

And I really hope that I'm completely wrong!

Be careful of wind drag on windsheild

Be aware hauling the spider faced backward can place a lot of wind drag on windshield at higher speedsray:
If there is a way to protect it I am not sure. I have never tried this with a Spyder. I just know hauling a snowmobile like that can fatigue the windshield and it can break off.
Hope all goes well for your haul.

Same thoughts I had about the windshield we posted at same time.

I'd say that "Great Minds Think Alike", but you really wouldn't want your mind compared in any way to mine! :shocked: :roflblack:

 

[TexasSpyder]

07 Toyota Tundra, 6 ft Bed. I will rachet strap the front wheels to the hooks mounted in the back of the truck bed. It won't move. :thumbup:

I'm well aware of the shield, It's four T-30's on my screw gun, total removal time less than 1 minute. :thumbup:

 

[Chupaca]

Works well..!!

as presented. Should be able to duplicate that somewhere else but may take some searching. A half cover can save the windscreen or remove it. Looks like your good to go..!! Enjoy...:thumbup:

 

[BLUEKNIGHT911]

REALLY COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO L

Randy nice job :agree:.......PS the cradle I built for Dee's Z-71 short box to Take the RSS to Spyderfest is still up for grabs.....Seth-O would have taken it ,...But his box is only 5 FT....and I just didn't like the BALANCE POINT there..........Mike :thumbup: I lucked out and found a CHERRY 2003 Toyota Tacoma EXT cab two WD.....I have removed the bed and am working on a FLAT BED as we speak. This will carry one of my Spyders and Dee's will go in the RV / camper............. Anyone looking for a super clean trk bed PM me...........:thumbup:
