Loading an ATV
Have any pics of the grizzly? Be careful unloading it if your not comfortable just walk it out with the throttle that's what I do because of the shotty wood ramps I have.. What kinda ramps do y'all use?
My '08 Arctic Cat 400 4x4 fits in my 6'5" box with the tailgate up. I just back it in and put 4x4 blocks under the front tires to lift the front end over the tailgate. I use 90" arched ramps. I also put a piece of plywood at the front of the box to keep me from hitting the back window.
Same here and no problem so far! If you want to make sure your cable never breaks, use a LA Guard ATV Tie-down.
Make sure if you are making or buying ramps that they are longer if you are nervous about the climb into the bed. I prefer my ramps short so I can slide them in and close the tailgate on a normal bed other than this 5.5 I have on my F150 (Had to buy what the stealership had on sale and a sacrifice had to be made somewhere so the four-wheeler sits on the crack between the bed and the tailgate). I recommend longer ramps if the climb makes you nervous and tie a flag of some sort on them to be safe since they may hang outside of your bed due to length. Once you kick the ramps out from underneath the wheeler a time or two due to slick conditions you get used to it and shouldn't have a problem. Most of the time the four-wheeler will hang on the tailgate if that does happen (not all the time though!). So i would say ramps are personal preference to what you feel safe with. My short aluminum ramps have a safety chain attached to them and an S hook at the end you can wrap around the tailgate cables to help prevent the ramps from kicking out.
Ive put my brothers special edition grizzly with 29.5" outlaws n 2" lift in the back of my bed several times and no problems..its Definately a tight fit..put a couple pillows in between the front bumper n your back window! It scares me lol..seen too many busted out

my tailgate won't go up. so i drive with the rear wheels on the tailgate. so far no problems.
i like that la guard tie down. might have to think about that.
