cheap ramps-arctic cat

(1/3) > >>

i c:
anyone have any ideas for a cheap way to get my 4 -wheeler into the back of the truck?also i have a arctic cat 454 and it runs fine till it warms up good then it dies and you cant start it unless you wait about five-10 minutes then itll fire right up and run again for a little while.i have the fan on and it is in fairly cold weather any ideas?

Best way I have found to load my wheeler is to back up to something that is high enough to get the tire on the tailgate. Then just drive on. The problem is unloading and reloading you need high ground. I have a folding aluminum ramp that I use. I think I got it used for $45. I think they are around $100 new. I still like higher ground as it is pretty steep. Lean forward and go. Even with the chains on the ramp it goes right up. I never drive it off. Just pull it off and let gravity do its thing. I always use 2 straps to hook the ramp to the truck so it doesn't kick out. This link might give you some ideas. Good luck.

This past summer I needed a set of ramps. So I took an old 12' aluminum ladder cut in two. Then cut 2 hardwood boards same length about 8" wide atached to the ladder with self tapping screws. Then attached couple peices angle iron on the ends to set on tailgate also added cleats to boards so I wouldn't spin. On some of the artic cats they have a relay that can go bad when they warm up the contact seperates but I couldn't tell ya where its located.

I USE A COUPLE OF OLD 2x12x7' WITH BRACKETS I MADE TO LAY ON THE TAIL-GATE, I HAVE SEEN SOME TYPE OF BRACKET SOLD FOR THE BOARDS AS WELL. IF YA' BUY ANYTHING NICE LOCK IT UP WHEN ITS IN BACK OF YOUR TRUCK OR THEY MAY WALK OFF.

If I were making some inexpensive ramps, I would consider using a 2x8. You might add some 2x2s on the bottom for extra support. Add half inch ribs on top for tire traction.
