Thanks!

Yeah, so far I love mine, but I wish I would have gone bigger
I found a killer deal on this one(300ex), and couldnt pass it up, worst case, my fiancee can ride it when I step up to something larger

Looks good, but why dont you just ride your quad up and into the bed? Its not really hard at all, and unless your a really bad rider, wont ever go to fast and hit the back of the cab and fly over onto your hood

Haha, just my 2 cents. I have bikes instead of quads, and Ive been riding up to load it for a long time now.

I tried it, a few times actually, only way to do it is with some speed up the ramp, and usually it dies/stumbles as you slow just coming off the ramp into the bed. Had it almost flip over backwards one time too, I either need a longer ramp(couldnt find one), or access to a hill/curb somewhere to load up, which isnt anywhere around my house, flat as can be

I just took the ease out of loading up and worrying about either taking out my back window, or trying to find a hill to make it easier.
Only cost me $70 for the winch

That's a great idea to just winch the toys up in the bed - might take an extra minute or two, but less stress for sure!
