I have a short bed Ford F250 Super Duty and two long travel
UTVs that won't fit in the bed. Even if they would fit in the bed, I don't
like the rear tires riding on the tailgate.
I had seen snowmobile and ATV truck racks before, so hauling
a UTV on a rack above the bed didn't seem too crazy. I wanted the rack to
handle a UTV with a max width of 74". At that width, it would
be capable of handling an Arctic Cat Prowler with a +6" long travel kit.
And that should be plenty.
Bob over at Roggy Enterprises happens to be in my next of
the woods so I swung by to see what he thought. This is what we came
up with.
The deck size is 106" x 76" with a usable platform of 104"
long x 74" wide.
I had mine covered with Line-X instead of powder coat.
I installed a set of TorkLift Camper Tie Downs to the front of my truck.
These are frame mounted so you don't have to worry about the UTV rack moving
in your truck bed.
