cmayer31 3 Posted February 28, 2010 I use one and it's awesome. I've used it for the street bike, dirt bikes, and securing loads that were longer than the bed when I needed the tailgate down. I haven't regretted spending the extra money for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SCHWINN 0 Posted February 28, 2010 I have 1 but only use it as a ramp cuz I have a 8ft bed. I can ride up it with my Harley, its sturdy. It folds up nice and compact but at the price I keep it locked in the bed. Im one of those people that pullover when I see a bike broke down and give them a ride to the gas station or if I am going the same direction a lift home so my truck is always got tiedowns in it too.

Crawdaddy 96 Posted March 1, 2010 I haven't regretted spending the extra money...... Me neither......cost difference between a short bed and a long bed was ~$300 when I bought my last two trucks......both longbeds Strega/Snaildarter both have those extender things on their trucks.......pretty sure they're both happy with'em.....

cmayer31 3 Posted March 1, 2010 Sadly my girly truck came with a 6' bed as the longest option, so I have to rely on assets to extend the length It really comes in handy with 2 or more bikes, but even with 1 bike in the back, I prefer the ready ramp. It folds and fits inside the cab to secure it, doesn't take much room in the garage, and provides a better loading/unloading angle due to the extra length. The fact that it doubles as a bed extender is icing on the cake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RogerTOWM 0 Posted March 1, 2010 Sadly my girly truck came with a 6' bed as the longest option, so I have to rely on assets to extend the length Strap on? These 4 door trucks with the shorty beds make a lot of sense when you are using it as a daily driver. It is much easier to park in the lot of the grocery store when it doesn’t need two parking spaces. If it is your only cage and you are not on a farm or in construction the shorty maybe the best thing for you. I have the long bed in my F350 diesel but it is not my daily driver. Oh and I like that ramp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Strega 0 Posted March 1, 2010 Ya don't need that ramp if you steal Joliet's patented design, and a couple boards with tips I like the Joliet design, cuz it actually snugs the tailgate up against the rear tire.

bikeslut 1 Posted March 1, 2010 Strega- I have boards with tips now, but they are wearing out AND they're lame... As for raising the tailgate, I do the same thing with my bed now...I move the cables up to the top pin I think I'm going with the readyramp...just as soon as I get the baja designs radio stuff squared away Next? Sell the drz and xrl and get a plated wr450 to go with my little girls bike that I like so much Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tntmo 908 Posted March 2, 2010 Next? Sell the drz and xrl and get a plated wr450 to go with my little girls bike that I like so much I don't think the orange Kool-Aid is taking with this one. Up the dosage, stat! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bikeslut 1 Posted March 4, 2010 I have to admit- for some reason my gut says no KTM..husky yes...aprilia, no...husaberg yes...I don't know why, but I'm not going to fight it As far as the ready ramp-it has been ordered (er.backordered) Next?

TrophyHunter 15 Posted March 4, 2010 Now that is a darn good idea.. Have to stop by the hardware store on my way home. Wait 'til he post pics of his velcro/snap ring rear tire stabilizers. I def like the ramp angle on the ready ramp. I wouldn't use it as a bed extender much but it looks like a good idea for those that would. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bikeslut 1 Posted March 4, 2010 Bike stand as a step, throttle right up the ramp as you step up...easy peasy lemon squeezy Unless you smashed your foot, and try to ride up it and your back tired steps out DAMHIK But- to ease your mind...my bike and me together don't weigh 600 pounds Roger- beta is on the "no" list right now...not sure why...I think I have STP about these sorts of things Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaynen 0 Posted March 8, 2010 None of the husabergs come with a plate still right? And readyramps are awesome, I inherited this long solid metal one when I bought my first dirt bike and it sucks and doesnt fold but I could not convince the wife to let me buy a new one. Of course being truckless right now I don't need one either Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikeslut 1 Posted March 8, 2010 Jason- sell the solid one (or gift it), so when you get another truck, you can get the ramp you want with it Really; what is $300 added to a $40,000 truck? Easy sell... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wing Nut 0 Posted April 11, 2010 I have a ready ramp I use on my 2007 Tacoma short bed. It works great for one bike, but if I load two bikes, the rear tires hang out past the end of the tailgate and I can't use it as a bed extender. I just fold it up and put it in the bed then. When I load one bike, I just kick the back tire over a little and it works fine. They are kinda pricey, but I watched craigslist for a few months and one came for $100 and I jumped on it.

motorcyclenut 0 Posted April 14, 2010 Did you order from this place?: Discount Ramps When I shopped around when I got mine, they had the best prices. Even got my lift from them. I have had mine a while (3-4 years) and gets abused quite a bit. The little rubber tips have already fallen off and I think one of the plastic end caps is gone too, but I still use it.
