Wondering if anyone is using a ramp to put an apex or attak in the back of their trucks? What brand and what cost? Pictures are always welcome. :rocks:
 
I us a ramp from discount Ramps its a ATV ramp works good I think they are in West Bend. I pay 75 bucks for it last fall.
 
I just got a 2"x10" 10' long, screwed a 2x4 of the same length to it, on the side for support, and picked up a couple brackets that get bolted to the wood that sit on your tail gate or bed, then secure the planks to the truck's hitch with a ratchet strap so it doesn't kick out when your loading or unloading. Its a pretty cheap set-up that I've been using for probably 13yrs now and never had anything break. If anyone is interested in how this set-up works, i can try and get some pics for ya.
 
I used to use a tri-fold aluminum ramp to load my sled into the back of a full size Chevy van. It had some hard plastic material on either side so your carbides were not grinding against the metal. It had rubber covers on the tounges where it rested on the vehicle and also had 2 cables to attach the ramp to the vehicle so it did not shoot out from under you when going up. It is pricey on this site (and think that is what I paid back then), but I am sure if you shopped around
