shawnss Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 I have the ramps that have rubber on them and i also have over the rail liner. i spray liners as apart time job and i see tons of nice truck go ober the rail. i dont like how over the rail looks but its saved my bed a number of time. you could also get a tailgate cap and cut it in half and put it were it would ware when you loaded the quad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krambo Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 I hauled my snowmobile around for two seasons and scratched / dented the HELL out of my bed. Yes it is still a truck and you can always put a cover over it or a bed rug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big O Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 or spray liner when you sell ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireRescueSS Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 I use ramps with rubber pad/protector, and sometimes I place cloth under them to also help protect. Needless to say, sometimes in a hurry or in a pinch, I simply say screw it, it's a truck, and scratch the hell of the plastic, won't rust anyway, it's plastic.

fox_forma Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 i haul both my quads and both my dirt bikes around, sure the bed cap looks like ass but its a truck and it looks good hauling them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCountry Posted November 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 (edited) I was thinking of doing a color matched Linex liner and having the top of the cap sprayed as well, similar to McMahan's, but under rail. The tailgate and cap is what I was mostly concerned about. All my other trucks had unpainted caps and I just abused it at will, now with the paiinted cap, I plan to take a little better care of it.

garagemethods Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 my friends have never used ramps. what they would do is take two guys, lift up the front end and put it on the bed, then lift the back end and roll it in. they never had problems with scratchin paint. but of course they had really light race qauds.

Vortec MAX Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 OMFG! You drove that muddy ass 4 wheeler on your PAINT! For the love of Pete man, that's an SS you got there. Show a little respect. At least mine's a Vortec MAX. It is supposed to work hard. Oh, and I have a spray in bedliner. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmahan Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Bed liners are slippery when wet or muddy or icy ... but do a great job of protecting the bed. line-x put like a grit in the floor of my bed to stop slips so when its wet ect.. you will have traction. not a bad deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inquenciocha Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 After shooting my ramps out from under me twice and two tailgates later, I now do it by myself. I own an YFZ so it’s not too heavy. I just lock the parking brake, lift it on its back wheels, release the brake and walk it until the front tires are close enough to land on the tailgate- be sure to get on the front brake just in case! I then grab my 6pk rack, do a quick little clean & jerk and it’s in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big O Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 you would never know I had a ATV in the back of mine ... a little care and patience and it isn't that big of a deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
