Default short bed? 2 quads

There are a few ATV racks out there to haul the quads. They usually sit in the bed and the platform is above the bed rails allowing storage under them. On here I've seen a few people with them. I believe confusedbuyer had one. Not sure when it was discussed, but these racks were discussed in the 7.3L PSD thread...yeah, it's big.

The other way is to haul them nose up. Though that isn't recommended for 4 strokes because of the oil leaking around. Fuel can be a problem with full tanks.

Thanks Whitewater/Marksduramax,

Whitewater, which rig? he he...

Marksduramax, It is bolted to the bed in all for corners, with supports (coming) that will attach at the bed rails (boxing strength at each corner), I don't have the closeup pics, yet, but can get some soon. With the price of steel today (geeez!) more than I should... probably $800 ish in materials... The top rear rails retract down into the bed via 2000 LB winch, which also then lifts the bike up, allowing to load the EFI in the bed. I figure if I turn the bikes up top, I can get 3 or more up top if needed. It rides really good, doesn't pitch/sway/or flex... More feedback is appreciated, I like to know what folks think about the design...
