we use the 96 Suburban. we usually just use a little trailer but this weekend was a little odd....we needed a jetski and the atv down there..so we loaded the jetski on a double trailer and just slid the atv on the other jetski slot. lol got some weird looks with that one.

Well we have a "02 Expedition, and a trailer and we can fit all 5 rides in it, (1-400ex, 2-250's, 1-110, and either 1 dirtbike or 1 90 or the other 110. I will try to get pictures on here soon. Oh and we have the normal things to bring too(chairs,gas,cooler,camping things,riding clothes and air compresser and battery charger).

This was our set up a few months ago. Now we have a blue in closed trailer. We have a 96 (i think) F150 that we use to pull it with sometimes too. Ill have to get a pic of the trailer we have now.

I need suggestions..My 450r is a pain in the you know what to load because its just too wide for my truck (colorado) and the tires have to wedge between the wheel wells to fit..and its pretty much impossible to load unless theres atleast 2 people there.

Posted

Mine fits perfect in my Ranger. Get a ramp first of all. Ride up until your front wheels hit the wheel wells. Put it in neutral hold your front brake. Get off and climb to the front of the quad. Grab your bumper and release the brake. Pull it the rest of the way in. That's how I do it in the ranger. In the F150 you can just ride right in.

Posted

Not sure how much of a PITA it is or what the offset of your Rear Wheels,,,,But,,,,,,You can always Reverse the Wheels and that will Narrow it up.....Push it in Backwards and it should Clear the Wells......Not sure on the what the Measurement on the Colorado is though.......

Posted

LOL you make it sound so easy stoopid..I spent like 45 minutes trying to do that the first time i loaded it..I was sweating bullets in like 95 degree weather....Thats when im like ..F IT and nailed it up rode over the wheel wells and slammed on the breaks..the truck was bobbing back and forth for like 20 seconds..and i am not doing that again lol..

And i believe from wheel well to wheel well its about 42 ish inches..with line-x..the overall width of bed is like 47 itches..but the freakin wheel wells screw me over..

And to mwke, I can push it up the ramps fine..then the front tires hit the wheel wells and turn and then its hell from there..are you saying push it in from the back of the quad in first? I still dont think itd fit..

Also..riding it up is damn hard..it ALWAYS stalls and dies when i try to go up..i can only nail it up to keep it from dying<-Shuld i be riding the clutch in first to get it up the ramps?

What I was sayin was.....Roll it in there Backwards.....But before you do.....Reverse the Rear Rims......

That offset will give you less overall Width in the rear and might Clear the Wells:wink:

Eh, but i dont want them to be like that all the time so i'd have to take em off..put em on..take em off put em on etc..and ..wheel well = 42 inches..trx = 46? ..would i really lose 4 inches by switching rims

And to stoopid, I'll try wut u said next time. My parents said when they picked it up (I wasnt with em) the guy at the dealer rode it up the ramp..stalled it right in the middle (lol) and hit the break started it back up and rode it the rest of the way

Posted

My offset is stock lol..I think thats 3+2 right? And can u flip the rims without any modifications ? Just to flip em to transport.. Or i guess i gotta get abigger truck "Mom..Dad..my four wheeler dont fit in the truck buy me a bigger one" lol

I was thinkin when i eventually get the spair cash..(..would be a while since im paying for the quad) I'd buy a little trailer just for the size of my four wheeler..or maybe 2 for a friends or something..would look stupid pulling a trailer and a quad with a truck ..but itd be so much easier and faster

Yes,,,,,Just unbolt them and Flip em around.....That should Suck them in.....Just take a Tape measure and measure em....Just measure the outside of the Rim...That will tell you how much Narrower you will be with them Flipped...

And Yes.....Just to transport....My Buddies just put two nuts on them to roll it in and out.....

I have a 5X10 trailer and was putting two on the trailer and one in the truck when I had the Dodge Ram 1500 but now I have a new Jeep Wrangler Unlimited I am thinking about modifying my trailer to fit three on it. I may just get a new trailer but I like the challenge of making my existing trailer work too.

I got a new trailer today. I needed to test it, so i put my toys in it and went to the beach/ocean

This is what hauls my toys when we go riding NOW.... a 2005 29 ft Sierra Sport 5th wheel

SamoaSandDunesTrip007.jpg

With another utility trailer behind it when we had the Odyssey and the golf cart.

WHY? Because it fits 2 full sized quads and 2 little quads, 2 large dog crates, one smaller dog crate, riding gear for 4 (or more) and sleeps 10! (probably 8 would be better)

We used to have a 1986 28 ft Alfa Toy House 5th wheel we pulled a boat trailer behind with 4 waverunners and a jet ski on it. ( It handled 1 little quad, the Odyssey OR golf cart, and 2-3 dirtbikes along with 2 large dog crates no problem) and only slept 4 comfortably unless we added a queen air mattress in the back.

(sorry, don't have THAT pic on the computer..).. :no:

I didn't drive it, just rode along... didn't seem to have any trouble stayin' where it was supposed to. The only hard part is backing! LOL pulling the BOAT trailer back there, now that was a little scary (but didn't wag) and seriously sucked fuel! (it was about the same length as the 5th wheel)

:frown: I try to talk the DH out of hauling 2 trailers every time, sometimes I win, sometimes I lose.. :wink: I'd rather drive a second tow vehicle myself. Or it just doesn't seem safe.

I just hate not being able to see the Trailer back there....I dont have a Problem Driving Doubles....Ive Done it with Big Rigs...But I can See the Second one back there....Ive driven behind some people that were Hauling trailers behind their 5'ers and they were Waggin,,,,Not Violently but they were waggin.....My other Concern would be the Weight taken off the Kingpin by having a Trailer Tagged back there..........But I think it will be ok....One of these days I will Go for it...:biggrin:

Man!!!!! Had to Go into the Archives to find some more pictures......These are of my last Hauler after we remodeled the inside.....Gotta love Diamond Plate.....We gutted the inside....Replaced the paneling,,,Added Diamond plate...Reupholstered the Couches and the Valences..,,,Removed all the windows and resealed them along with the Roof....New Awning ETC. ETC.......

Nice pics everyone! MWKE, I remember those pics from another post, before you got your new trailer. Did I read right, you are thinking of a SideXSide..UTV? Or is that "hauler" talk?

      Pulled my '86 Moto4 out of shed where it sat for 20 years. I knew it smoked. checked it over a little put in gas and it fired right up!! 
      Drove about 100 yards, ran about half throttle wouldn't idle.  Put on somenew parts, jug/piston and rings, carb and valve seals.
      'went together ok, tuned it over by hand about 6 revs whick went well. Hit the starter it fired for about 6 revs and quit. tried it again fired once and then th sound of something slipping like maybe chain slipping over spoket.
      Took cover off to watch cam sproket, hit starter again, heard same noise and the cam sproket was not turning but jumping a bit. Chain was still tight. You will probably tell me I need to split the lower case but hoping there mightbe something else.
      I don't fully understand the chain tightener, the plunger only moves about 1/4 inch, should it move much more than that when off the motor and compressing it by hand?
      Thanks for any thoughts.

      Hey all, just posting to introduce and get ball rolling on the required number of posts to download a freakin manual. Recently picked up an 86 LT230S for $800, runs OK and kids having some fun on it so far, but it needs some work. I did an oil and filter change, other than a rough idle it's not bad, ordered some new front tires as those are thrashed, and getting left rear looked at as it has a slow leak and was somehow mounted backwards! Not sure how that happens and nobody noticed. Anyway, yeah sure I'll be posting more specific questions as I get into it, hope to just have it solid enough for kids to rip around at grandpas.

      Anyone know what this thing is ?

      I've been using Valvolene 10w 40 ATV oil but, it's like $8.00 a quart. Is that about the going rate? Or is there cheaper alternatives that would be suitable? Thanks
