Thumbs up Loading two atvs into the back of the truck?

Any tricks, tips, or suggestions. 1998 Ram 2500 long bed. The atvs are: Yamaha Banshee and Yamaha Warrior. My wife has the Warrior and I just got rid of my bike to get the Banshee. I was thinking about getting a trailer but don't really want to deal with the hassle. Any help is much appreciated.

Those two are on the smaller side of ATVs. I've seen lots of these in the back of a regular 8' bed. First one closer to cab is actually verical. On rear wheels facing diretly up and up against the cab. The second one, is also holding the front end up. Just enough to gain clearance for gate to close. Or you can have it on all four wheels. Just be certain of tie downs.

As jj3500 said....Try putting the Banshee in first, and have it standing up on the rear grab bar (make sure to shut off the fuel,lol). And then bring in the Blaster and see if it will fit normally, or if you have to stand it up as well. Its fairly easy to do this as long as you have places to tie down. You could even take the straps down and hook on somewhere along the frame, etc...if it doesnt hurt the paint on your box. I'm sure you will figure something out, good luck
