There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Want ideas to get my Spyder on a flatbed pickup for hauling?

After I bought my Used 2003 Tacoma Pk-up... I removed the bed, extended the frame 14 inchs,, built a frame & sheet metal box .... to be used as a camper / toy hauler ..... took it cross country 8 times to Spyderfest in Mo. .... I built the box to fit an RSS .... Then I bought a 14 RT - which was a bit wider, but still left 2 inches to spare ....one on each side ..... I had some 10 ft alumin / wood ramps built .... I had to climb 29 inches in 10 ft :yikes: .... I was able to do that ( even in the rain ) because I made a Cheese Grater strip from galvan. sheet metal cut to fit the middle ramp and screwed onto it ..... Many, many fellow Spyderlovers have seen it and were amazed it was able to climb and not slip even in the rain .... Go to my Albums .... lots of pics .... good luck .... Mike :thumbup:

How did you secure the ramps to the truck bed?
Did you load in reverse?
Was it close to high centering as you transitioned from the ramp?

You have to purchase the basic ramp to start with. Then you add the spyder adapter. I would suggest removing the windshield before transporting. 4 screws.

The ramps were constructed of aluminum 1/4" thick 2" x2" X 10 ft long pieces of angle .... connected together using 3/4 X 3/4 in angle & covered with 1/2 plywood .. the ends of the angle pieces were left extended 2" ( & bent to fit ), so I could drill 3/8 in. holes and drop 3 in bolts thru into the edge of the trk bed .... you also should look at my pics in my album .....
