    Gq dual cab and dirtbike mounting questions.

    I have question for the people with dualcab gq's. Would you be able to fit 2 fullsize dirtbikes sideways across the tray at all? WHat about longways then adding an extension of the back of the tray to hold the rear wheel?

    Definitely not a full size dirtbike sideways across the tray.... my dirtbike hangs over the rear edge of a 6 x 4 trailer, and will fit on the diagonal.

    You are looking around 7 feet from front to back of the bike ( 2190mm long )

    I only asked as i cant see how much different it would be to using one of those towbar dirtbike carriers.

    Depends if you have sides on the back, or have a flat tray

    Any reason you wouldn't just use a twin tow bar dirt bike carrier?
    Time is never wasted when your wasted all the time

    If it fits on the tray it's way better for offroading. You'd lose a heap of exit clearance with a bike hanging off the back and also be more like to hurt it/cover it in mud lol

    Fair enough, could always mount a tow hitch on the back of the camper

    So do you have a flat tray or sides???
