Coach,
While your ideas are possible, they won’t work in my set up.
I think I can handle rolling a tire and using a shovel to get it back on. Plus, I have 6 tires. I am going to have to roll most likely anyway.
Thanks

That is definitely a diverse set of pictures. That deck one is pretty neat, but not in my KISS requirement.
The yellow truck is closed to what I am thinking, but the tire bottoms will be at top of frame height.

Well, I have an MTV, so I can carry more weight. If I towed a jeep, I would not need the bike. So for me it is one or the other.

Based on your idea above……. I like the idea of the cradles and then just an all-thread center bolt (in the hub space) and a large DIY wing nut to cinch it down.

Coach,
The motorcycle I am talking about would be a small dirt bike (maybe 400cc max).
I don’t have the weights, but I am not all that worried. It does not seam like much of a big deal to this large of a truck.

Thanks Chucky for the response.
The tires will be resting on top of two frame rails that extend back. So, I can build a cradle for the tires or a bolt plate. Pretty much any option is open.
Just trying to decide which way to go.

Thanks! That looks great.
Anyone else tackle this project?
I would like a way to mount bicycles and/or a dirt bike at some point as well.

I am planning out how to mount 2 spare tires on the back of my rig.
At one time I considered having two of the factory hydraulic units welded center to center, but the weight seamed excessive.
Right now I am leaning toward a davit crane and two cradles.
Any major reason not to use a cradle...
