I want to carry 2 ATVs in the back of my truck bed. I know there are companies that sell racks that fit on the top of your truck bed to do this, but I am having a hard time locating any of them. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have hauled A warrior and a banshee both in the back of a fullsized pickup.We just set them side ways.the front wheels hung over the left side of the truck.Also we were only going 20 miles from home.It worked ok for a quick trip but don't think it would be good for long distance.

I took the bed off of my truck and put on a flatbed. It works great, ride up one side and down the other! No more backing down!! I have folding steel ramps (from Farm and Fleet)and slide one under each quad. I like it because it keeps the weight lower. Just an idea.

I saw a pic in dirtwheels where a guy put two quads (two 400ex's) on a mini toyota pickup truck.
How did he do it? Basically he took the rear fenders off one 400ex and put that one in first with the front wheels up on the top of the truck cab. Then he put the second 400ex with its front wheels on top of the first one's back wheels. Does that make sense?

One last suggestion. Alot of people say not to do this but i think if you drain the gas out you'll be ok. Why not just stand both quads up on the grab bar and strap them down like that?
If you want to do this turn the fuel cutoff switch off and let the quad run to get all of the fuel out of the carb. I think if you do that you'll be alright. Of course if you wanted to go one step more you could drain all of the gas out of the tank too just to be safe.
Then when you go to start the quad back up double check your oil level to make sure none leaked out.
