I didn't have a second set of eyes to watch me so I don't blow out the back window of the truck. Not sure of the math I think it's ok.

Winch it up the first few times. It goes nice and slow, but more importantly, very consistent.

You may need to put it on backwards to get some of the weight to the front of the bed !!

It was spooky enough going forward I don't know about that. Going to take it for a little test ride

I think that is why the ones I have seen with the bigger RZRs have the front wheels on top of the cab .

Ya you couldn't do this with a 4 seater. I looked into that kind of rack they don't come apart and there $ 3 to 5000. This one comes apart so it's easy to store.

So witch one of you is going to be first to back it on????
I have another problem to work out it hung up backing it off where the rear arms bolt to the frame it hung on the rear angle iron and stopped it.
It brakes over very quick it slid over it going up any ideas? I used 2 chunks of thin plywood to get it down.

Ok we can use your razor!
I don't think my math will work backing it on.
I can offset the weight with water fuel and firewood the camp trailer only has a 30 gal. Water tank it goes fast

I did drive it around the naborhood it felt ok I thought it would be top heavy it wasn't to bad it didn't set the truck down much.

Ed, I've got a couple of 10 gallon plastic buckets with screw on lids that would work for extra water. You will need a transfer pump though, as they are 80 pounds full, and have no spout.

Don't you need them? I have 2-5gal and 3-6 1/2 gal that's about a refill on it. Gas is about the same about 35gallons. The camp trailer has only one battery so the generator runs most of the time.

A friend got them for me- they originally held Chlorine (so they ought to be safe!!). She got me about 10, and now we have a trailer with 112 gallons of fresh water, so I've given a couple to all of my friends with smaller fresh water tanks. I'll save a couple for you, and try to get them to you for Sand Mountain.

Ok thanks 20 more gallons will be great I can use one in the green trailer to for short trips.
