Yes I got them from Race Ramps. They are 7" tall at the tallest point. The ledge that the ramp sits on is 4.5" tall. Yes, they are a very rough/textured surface, much deeper texturing that even the deepest non-skid strips.

I've loaded and unloaded a 2 wheeler on them in the rain and mud. No issues.

Below are photos of a Rally we went to...we got so much rain much of the camping area was underwater.

Front tire is holding up well. I am happy with it. Will probably get over 20K miles out of it...where with the OEM tire, in the same riding conditions, I would probably get 6k miles.

This was 5 feet from the trailer door.

Great video Kevin and spot on. As you recall we are full time traveling RVers and have hauled our Trikes around the country since 2017. Initially we used a enclosed trailer, then a TandemTow, and now we are in a 5th wheel toy hauler.

My current set up is the first time I have ever not utilized a front wheel chock. I tie mine down about like your video showed with my ratchet straps crossed in the rear plus the two in the front around the axle/forks. Since I have etracks installed I also put one on each passenger running board support just to make me feel a little better on those big dips I may run over.

By the way, heading west next month and one of our stops will be Cody so we can do a day trip up through Bear Tooth Pass. A pic you posted from your run up through there made us put that stop on our bucket list!

Hey Joe,

Thanks on the video. Yes, I remember you are living the dream...think about y'all often.

The etracks are nice, gives a lot more choices. Hope you are enjoying the 5th wheel. Do you have photos of it posted anywhere for me to look at?

Beartooth is a fantastic road, riding wise and amazing views. We are going to be riding it next month also, while out that way visiting family.

A couple of my favorite pics from 3 SUMMERS ago...yeah, it can be cold up there in the middle of summer.

Not very good at the whole posting pics deal Kevin. Thought I was posting two different ones. Anyhow, we really like the new rig. It is especially nice to be getting over 9mpg towing compared to the 6.5 we were getting with the diesel pusher.

We hope to be in Cody around 8/24 and are staying a week. Sounds like we will be there after you. I can't wait to make my own pics of that great scenery!

Safe travels!

Very nice, yeah the MPG is great on those trucks.

Have fun on Beartooth, Red Lodge, and Cooke City. There's a small motorcycle shop in Red Lodge, Bone Daddy's. Cooke City is just a small town, but they have some great food, AND Bison wandering around the town streets. lol
