    I built it for about 150$ I have a couple of quads at the cabin and when I had friends come up to hunt I would get tired of trying to turn the truck around in tight spots with the trailer behind me. This way theres no trailer insurance to pay for and no hassle storing a trailer. Ive used it on some rough road so going slow is a must. I ve seen a few ways of packing two quads on a truck but this seemed easy and cheap, I have a full tooled up shop but all a guy needs is a hacksaw and a welder.

    Looks good. Did you weld a special hitch to hold the weight of the quad? Is there a pin to remove the deck?

    I guess that would'nt be any different than a trailer with a 700 lb tongue weight. Great idea.

    If you look at the first pic you can see I welded two more receivers on the main hitch. The main center hitch is rated for 1400 lbs tongue weight the other two should be close.

    That looks like it will work just fine.

    Better get some brake lights on it, wouldnt want some texting goof to punt your quad on to the roof of your truck. PA has cheap magnetic mounts.

    Have you run it over the scales to see if it keeps within your legal weight?
