Does anyone have one of those things that plugs into your hitch and goes over the tail gate to keep a rhino from bending the tailgate. There are other variations as well.

I need it for ONE time, so I'm certainly not going to purchase something that costs several hundred dollars, seems silly.

So does someone have one I can borrow? Or any "ghetto custom" ideas?

2 x 8

3/4 plywood and strap the tailgate

I did the 2x10 once. Worked pretty good. Also jacked up the back end and put the back half on Jacks (on the frame) and then strapped it down good so the weight was on the bed and no the tail gate. Sorta rinky, but worked.

While the tailgate on my Ram did support it by its self, I got little creases in the gate after the 2nd time, so I decided not to risk it again.

thats what ive done too, put the back on bottle jack stands so its not on the tailgate at all.

Nosocks, If you still need one, let me know. I can part with it for a couple of days, I won't need it until the weekend after Easter. Mine fits an '07 F250, I don't know if it'll fit other rigs (different tailgate dimensions, receiver (hitch) height etc. Send a PM, I'll check later on today and tomorrow.

Ask to borrow a flatbed, probably find plenty. Or I used to rent 6 by 10 utility trailers for like $20 bucks a day.

I'll PM you with some dimensions and we'll see how far off we are. Where are you located?



I'm trying to avoid a trailer. Toyhauler needs to make its way back to the river, wanted to truck the rhino there and throw it into the toyhauler on my way out.


I was under the impression loading a rhino on ramps is what screwed up the tail gate, not it actually being in there

I was thinking about just doing the wood plank thing. Probably will be my plan B.

sorry for the but where did you get that ramp from???

NoSocks - if you need to get your Rhino to / from G this weekend, I have room for one in my stacker, let me know.

It's at the river outside of Blythe but thank you VERY much for the offer!!! Very much appreciated!

I recall PDS fab or something making them...

Dunno who else does. Carlos go buy one so I can borrow it

you must have a cheap truck to bend the tail gate !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First one i heard of was a furd

What is it you own?

Usually the cables break. I started using tiedowns to double up the support, but I found really faint creases about 1/2" long on either side of the gate. If you didnt know what you were looking for, you wouldnt even notice them. Got rid of that truck though, and use a trailer now.

Where near blythe?

Why dont you just strap it in like so Clicky

Here it is:


More UTV truck racks.

Just north 22 miles up 95/intake blvd.

I've never been able to get a grab on the gate on my dad's truck. I'd be using his Dmax if I do all of this. I'm thinking the lumber trick may work if anything...

I grew up at Aha Quin. Heading up thursday night. Let me know if theres anything i can do to help

I may be in to bug you.

If you ever see a sport edition rhino with reverse offset OMFs and terra-crosses, Yell!!!

We're up 2 exits...well technically one.

Crazy. Im sure ive seen it. I defiantly hollar at ya

Cant wait to see whats closed down out there... Heard the dunes are being patrolled by BLM now and theres signs out.

They came through all the homes once checking registration...

My father told them all our stuff is registered and by the way they are on private property, a subtle eff off.

I've yet to see an officer otherwise.

Ive been chased by those Gayderss down 95. I was pinned on the highway back in my 2 wheeler days, guy saw me coming and tried to block the road... wrong move pal. Just wooded it passed him and kept it wide open (my bike GPS'ed at 98) from about water wheel to Aha, then ducked off into the desert. Saw him fly by on 95 about 2 min later

half the big dunes are closed pretty I eat pooty I think they closed em half way to say the closed areas are still gettin used and close it all for good.there was never evant a public meeting just one black democrat presodend and publick orv lands are illegally being closed "fast" im in aha also I have a white 4 seat Teryx say hi if you see us ill buy the first round.
