Not sure what to do now!!

[Hoglou]

I would not spend a lot on the ramps. I would (after determining the length and height needed) build a wooden ramp with a storage box as the front base. Why not gain some space from the problem. 2 pieces of 4x8 x1/2 and three 2x4 (this would add 127 pounds). Design with the first 4x8 flat and a angled box with a front opening for the front tires to rest on (on the forward part of the 4x8). 2x4 for framing.

Will build for beer and a samwitch..

Definitely worth thinking about. I just want the stupid thing to fit!!

I'm no mathematical genius by any stretch of the noodle but if you take a 2x4 one inch longer then your toy put it in and see how high you need to lift to get it to fit, then measure your height and see if you got the head room. Give your self the extra inch to save frustration later.

[Kidhunts]

Ahhhhhh......See, you are a genius! I'll try that out!

You could put the Ranger in the garage and using a small floor jack raise the front. That way you could also check the top at the same time.

I'm now thinking that as the front lifts up from driving up the ramps, that the top edge of the bed is just going to rotate backwards toward to door, and therefore.........not working!!!!!

what sticks out past the tires that can come off ? like others have said , bumper , hitch , something to remove to give you that 2 " . you most likely would want at least 3 so things aren't rubbing all over the front wall or back door . the 27's if I'm correct have a 9' garage ?

Kind of my point before. [emoji15]

well, I can take the brushguard off of the from giving me just 2 inches to go. But after that, it's the rear box and the factory front bumper and plastic. It might just have to stay in the bed of the truck........opposite the reason I bought a toy hauler!!!! I should have measured twice and cut once....haha

[meck51]

I would try to take off the brush guard and put Clevis pins in place of the bolts. It is quick and an easy chore if you have one other person for a set of hands. This would more than likely give you the 2 inches.

I'm definitely going to try all of this these things to see what happens!

[Mojojojo]

Being new and under warranty "boxing" the door or inside wall is probably not an option. By boxing I mean putting a fiberglass box bubble on the door in the area it hits to allow it to close.

[Mojojojo]

I have a dual cut saw in Oregon if you would like to come borrow it. Will cut 3 inches off either the toy or hauler.

[Kidhunts]

Thanks for the offer, I will keep that available as my last option. ��

Instead of driving it in up the ramps.... what about backing it in? The 'bed' in the back will go higher and the front will go lower.

[Kidhunts]

Now that might work!!!

[Mojojojo]

Pictures still would be good specially if you get it to fit without a plunger. Nice to see your not completely flipping out mad.

My neighbor did the same thing. 2"too long on the polaris. I told him he had two options. 1. Remove the front bumper extension. 2. Give me the polaris and get something that would fit.
I saw him load it up and head out last weekend. : -(

[rockfordroo]

If your front wheels stick out beyond any kind of body/bumper, try backing it in, then turn the front wheels hard to left or right. That should pick up a couple inches.

[WolfWhistle]

Hey kidhunts, have you had time to try my idea. I think it takes about a 16" high lift or ramp to make it. But only a WAG
