HOW NOT TO LOAD A SNOWMOBILE

  • Have you ever needed to bring your snowmobile into the city? (Yah me either, up until recently) … A couple hurdles come to mind when trying to park a truck with a snowmobile in a parking ramp. 1.) Sled deck - clearance is an issue 2.) 2-Place Trailer - that’s just not going to happen. What I did find is that Caliber makes a ramp that you could load right into the box of your truck, making it an easy load and unload for your snowmobile. As soon as I got that new ramp and loaded my sled, that voice in my head went off “If you hit it fast enough, you can jump it” … Good thing I didn’t go first, see how my stunt double Lonnie did.
    If interested in the ramp -

    Works great for loading sleds in the box of a truck.... Not recommended for jumping the truck... trust me. 🙄

    Hi Levi I just meet you for the first time at the leinie lodge in chippewa falls Wisconsin. I wan the kid in the plaid coat, you talked to my dad named Chad and I bought 2 baseball caps from you and before you started selling them you talked to me about what kind of sled I drive and I said ski-doo. Anyways you are an amazing dude and I hope I see you on the trails in Wisconsin or Minnesota.

    Why not just take plywood and 2x4 and finish the ramp in the bed of the truck? Then if you clip you just hit the plywood, then you can test angles and speeds to see if you will clip..then you take away the ramp in the bed.

      @Levi_LaVallee  Рік тому +1

      @@wstreff It can be done. Long box truck would give you plenty of room. truck that sat up a little taller would give the ramp more angle which would give you more clearance. The issue to be aware of is having the tail gate fold up as you get steeper with the ramp.
