Transporting by Truck

[gorpet]

I am new to sledding and have a few questions in regards to transporting my sled. I plan on hauling in the back of my shortbox Chev.

1. How tight should the sled be strapped down?

2. With Chains or tie down straps

3. Is it safe to leave it in the back of the pick up 24/7 or will some low life steal it.

4. Will women desire me more with a sled

Thank You in advance

tie downs will work fine, as to theft nothing is safe.

1. How tight should the sled be strapped down?enough to keep it in the truck and to prevent side-to-side movement

2. With Chains or tie down strapseither one should work as long as they are good quality

Short box - make sure you have enough on the front to keep it in. you might consider building a small 2x4 deck under the skis and track to "extend" the bed a little more. The weight of the skis will keep the deck down in the front when the track is pushing on it. Are you going to keep the tailgate up or down?

Tie down's for sure. Chains no way.

Lock it up at all times unless its a Polaris, then you don't have to worry - no one will want to steal it anyway.

Contrary to what everyone says - No, chicks will not desire you more. You'll just be another broke a$$ sledder who spends all their extra cash on the sled and many days away away from home. Find a woman who can handle this.

if you going to leave it in your truck leave the cover on your sled and take a chain from your sled ( i recomend though the track ) and around a sterdy post that should do it

first thing ya want to do is make sure ya have a ski doo snow flap and a skidoo cover on it that should be good enough to prevent theft lol

i wouldnt use chains when transporting but i would definetly use chains and locks when sitting and always park it so it is a pain the ass to get to the sled
