A Golf Cart's fit in a 6.5' truck bed....

[BigDaddyRog]

I finally got around to loading my cart into the bed of my truck. I know some of you have asked about how a cart fits in a truck bed thats less than 8' .....well heres some pics.

This is a trick I learned here on the DIS...

By lifting the tailgate this much,I should have no problem hooking up the camper and making turns.

BE SURE TO ANCHOR THE RAMPS TO THE TRUCK!!!!!!

The cart is looking great! Is your cart lifted? Were did you get your ramps? They look like pretty nice ramps.

Cat whistle "here". Nice ramps !!!!

Hope you didn't find out first hand about using the straps to hold the ramps to the truck.

No...its not lifted at all,thats stock height. I got the ramps at http://www.etrailer.com/p-11201.htm.

Yep, Denise...those are the ones(or very similar to the ones) you suggested to me quite some time back...they are great, telescope from 5.5'-8'. Makes the bottom clearance a breeze when going from the ramp to the truck bed. ....And,NO....I didnt learn the hard way about bracing the ramps....I definately took you guys' advice for that!!!

Way to go, Rog!!!

Thanks Deb !

Jim....god works in mysterious way....and he works very slowly apparently!! He took about 6 feet off of the top of it a couple of months ago...Im sure he'll be back to finish the job at some point....I just hope Im as lucky next time as I was last time!!

Rog, I know you probably checked all your weights to make sure you can haul the people, the golf cart, the camper, and all the stuff. But wow! you got it on there, sure enough.

I am purposely overloading mine now just to drive people crazy.

 

[BigDaddyRog]

Yeah, Ed....I took all of the weight into account before buying the pop-up. I come in a couple of hundred pounds below the quoted limit, This is why I decided on the pop-up...lightest weight for the maximum unfolded space.

Dont tell Larry...he'll report you to a more popular camping website!!!

I hear ya on that one. By the way, consider yourself lucky on the tailgate. If I put that on my tailgate in my Tundra, it would crumble.

I'm already getting some separation of the sheet metal (was that way when I bought it). I got busy, figured I'd get around to bringing it back in to the dealer at some point. Sure enough, I mosey on in there with 35,000 miles +/- and find out it was only covered up to 30,000 miles. They can fix it if I want to pay for it. I figure I'll wait until some ijit runs into me this winter during a snow storm. Bound to happen someday!

Wanted to congratulate you on the set-up. Love the flames. Any photos of the whole set up yet? I want to see the tricked out trailer - maybe with a Welcome to Fort Wilderness sign in the background?

Not only am I going to overload my truck, but I am letting about 10lbs of pressure out of each tire, too! Take that, Larry.

he probably learned from my near death experience.

 

[I'mDownWithDisney]

Pimpin' cart. I like it.

 

[big kahuna1]

I wonder if something like this for ATV's would work for your cart.

Would still give you room up front for coolers, beer and stuff.
