transporting?

[paintguy83]

just a quick question, im planning on buying a nice set of ramps and puttin my cart in the bed of my truck when i take it somewhere. my question is the top....its the extended top, do i need to take it off when i haul it? will the wind rip it off the cart? theres no windshield on the cart. thanks for any input

manufactures say no more than 50mph with a top on the cart, its just 4 bolts, no biggy to take off, keep your cart from popping a wheelie

I know this is the gas section so this is a gas cart correct?
Make sure your ramps are rated for your cart and YOU as a combined weight.
Also you should have safety chains or cables that run from the middle or lower portion of the ramp and hook to the back bumper or hitch of the truck to prevent the ramps from kicking out.
A kick out can get very ugly, very fast.........

Actually, the safest thing to do would be to mount one of the $59.00 Harbor Frieght winches to the front of your cart and winch it in the truck without anyone in it.

Sorry to be so anal about this but I have seen a riding tractor kick a ramp out and the old guy didn't fair to well.

My cart roof has seen 85 mph with no problems. I have a Heavy plastic Yamaha top on my EZGO

yea its a gasser, the ramp i think im goin to get is a tri fold (with the safety chains) want a tri fold so i dont haveta worry bout gettin it lined up perfectly every time. and the winch is a good idea havent really thought bout that til you said something, sounds alot safer....cant gurantee a no beer loading event hahaha

Make sure your ramps are arched or you will drag the bottom of the cart and knock the ramp out from under you. (yes, I have been there) Lowes has a nice set.
