Got an AT Bobcat, need a truck. Considerations for ~ year 2000-2004?? Advice??

Well, Labor Day weekend didn't happen but we are headed to MA this weekend. With the 2000 pound helper spring and the Timbren load stops, the truck handles great. Even on dirt roads. I also have blistein heavy duty shocks.

No motor bike for the front yet but I plan on a hitch rack with my small toolbox, leveling wood and other small stuff.

I left the tailgate on, it's a good place to work, leave muddy shoes and such. It's a little harder getting in and out but not terrible.

Nice. Good choice. Just like my rig, and mine will go anywhere reasonable, and I get gas mileage with the best of them. Enjoy!

I tried a similar setup. I put a front hitch on my 2000 F250 and bought the best hitch carrier I could find (Moto Tote) to carry my DRZ. The problem I had was the front hitch was way too high and it was very difficult to load the bike, and I couldn't see past it due to the height. I wound up buying a lightweight Aluma trailer to carry the motorcycle and other stuff. My camper overhangs the truck bed by 14" and the trailer has a long (4') tongue and a folding jack so works greats.

My old truck was the same way so I built this drop hitch adapter to lower the bike to a usable height. I also added headlights on the carrier wired to a separate switch. Easy fix
