    I know my old 2nd gen could haul a quad in the bed. But any of you 1st gen guys doing it? I've done some searching but haven't seen to much. It's just a Honda rancher 350 but interested to hear from the guys who actually have these 1st gen double cabs.

    Thanks fellas!

    I've stuck my Suzuki Eiger 400 4x4 in the bed of my truck. The front barely fits between the wheel wells, and the rear tires are partially on the tailgate, but it works. Sorry don't have any pics.

    Yup hauled my 01 Foreman in my Double cab box! Looked ridiculous but worked, I've got General Spring HDs which helped!

    I maybe only use the quad 15 times a year on like hour long road trips. I'd probably have to beef up the tailgate cables.

    Yeah who knows. My gate kinda rests on the top of the plastic bumper covers. Probably not ideal but I've only loaded it once just to see if it fits.
    I had to rest the front wheels on top of the box fender wells and obviously leave the gate down. Like I said it looked goofy as hell! That foreman isn't huge but it looks like it in the little taco.

    Yeah I've got a 96 Taco single cab and it hauls the quad no problem but it's got a 6' bed. However the little Rancher fits perfect between the wheel wells in it
