A convieniently placed pile of dirt always works:

 

couldn't have said it better myself....always works for my s10

 

right....so dirt...ok check!!! lol

 

harbor frieght sells ramps.....2 for like 60 bucks...u have to notch the one ranp to double stack them...works good..and they fit in the truck bed....5 footers

 

Home depot 2pc ramp kit and 2 6' 2x8's

1 to roll the bike on and the other to walk along side...

 

I use a peice of plywood with a 2x4 screwed to the bottom of it (for the R6)...And best of all it was free!!!

 

moose racing makes a fold in half thats like 60 bucks or something. best ramp iv ever owned.

 

I bought one of these about 2 years ago from local truck accessories shop . Works great .

You have to assemble them yourself which sucks, but best prices around. Plus you get 2.

cool thanks guys!!! i am prolly gonna buy the truck today or by the end of the week and want to pick up some ramps sometime soon

edit: this may sound stupid, but i havent ever had to put a bike in a truck before cuz i never owned a truck. what is the best way to get it in? I have seen some of the guys at the spot just ride the bike right up the ramp into the truck...Just curious as to if you guys walk it up or what you do to get it in and out....thanks for helpin out my retarded *** haha

 

Bike running I drive it up while walking next to it. Watch out when the front tire is in the bed and the back tire is on the ramp, it likes to kick the ramp out from under itself.

 

**** ok thanks for the advice I'll try that !!!!

 

A tie down from the ramp to the bumper keeps it from kicking out. Or a friend standing on the ramp.

 

bought an atv ramp on ebay for less than $150. 3 pieces that u have to bolt together but def worth it imo cause u got somethin on each side of the bike and u can have a friend help u bring it up onto the truck

 

Might be hand on a lifted superduty, but WAY overkill on a s-10. All you need is one 6' ramp.

 

ya i think ive narrowed it down to either a Ranger XLT 4x4 or they have some old chevy silverado V6 short cab extended bed.....i would rather have the ranger but ya we'll see what happenes

 

I got a 2000 lowered s-10 extended cab with a 4.3 V6 for sale.....

 

way to hustle niner

 

I need room in my driveway.....


P.S. Samurai87, I'll throw in a ramp and 2 tiedowns for free.
