I'm going to Lake Murray in April and plan to take two quads and my boat. Here's what I'm going to do. Weld up an angle iron frame big enough for two that will drop in the stake holes on the pickup rails. Cut two 3/4 sheets of plywood to drop into the angle iron frame. Build or buy and extend ramps to load with. Won't have all the bells and whistles but I doubt that I will have $200 in it ramps and all! I saw the Diamondback and it's pretty. Just don't know how often I'd use it. Sometimes I haul three, one in the bed, two on a trailer. Other times I take the motorhome and haul one or two on the trailer. Sometimes just one in the bed. If I'm just hauling two the trailer is the easiest and fastest to unload/load.</end quote></div>


It would be a lot stronger if it's set up like a table with legs that sit directly on the truck bed. Stake pockets are not all that strong and any shifting of load or a big bounce could transfer to the sheetmetal of the truckbed.
