About strapping it to the roof rack…I had my gunwale brackets and tiedowns in the car ready to give it a go (you can see them in the picture) Just didn’t sit right to load it up on the roof at 10+ ft long. Idk? Hindsight, I prolly should have.
And I knew the hatch wasn’t going to close. I had to strap the boot shut. I literally just moved it into place and barely tapped the glass (unfortunately before I wrapped it and the raw pipe is what did it in more than anything). Next thing I know, pop.
It seriously needs some better seats. Wish it had the sport package.
Pickup truck…would that be long enough? NOt that I know ANYONE with a pickup anyway, but just wondering. I’m thinking the exhaust is around 10-11 feet long.
Car is 15 feet nose to tail. Here’s a good pic since we didn’t get a measurement
The catback appears to start about 9 or 10 feet from the rear.
I’ve also included the picture without my drawing. Great view of the car.
Are pickup trucks really that rare up there? I figured with the snow, 4x4 pickup trucks would be around. Or do you just need more friends lol. There’s always someone around I can get with a pickup truck, well if I don’t want to use my own.
You could cut it on the straight portions between the center section and the two end mufflers. Then if you are going to use it again or sell it, get two more center exhaust clamps to join the three pieces together. That way you would have three 4-6 feet long sections; which are much easier to transport.
huh, funny, I’m the only person in my area without one (for the time being, looking for a 12v). lots of horses, boats, car trailers and tradespeople so that necessitates having one.
Yea I can imagine. We went camping with a group of people about a month ago, one of the guys made a tow behind camper completely from scratch in about a month’s time. It was ridiculously nice. Kinda made me want to have one to tow behind the jeep lol.
I was just tryin to avoid clogging the thread up with pics, didn’t realize you had to log in to see it though. Edited my other post now. And I think a better name would be TN-TTTbT - (Tennessee’s Trashiest Trailers Towed by Trucks)
I think he said he was right at $3250 to date . Including the trailer frame he made from scratch, axels he had made to his spec, and all materials. He’s obviously pretty talented too.
In person, the finished product was even more amazing.
Oh yea. He had a queen mattress in there. You couldn’t stand up, but 2 people + their ~50lb dog slept in there. You could probably stand on your knees though inside of it on the bed and be fine.
The headboard was setup to have 2 speakers, as well as 2 outlets and usb ports for charging phones. And the backside had tons of storage as well as lights. So they setup the grill right off the back and used the lights to see while cooking.
He said he got a lot of info off of this site: http://www.tnttt.com/ Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers
or t n ttt for short (tnttt.com)
There are constantly build sheets, as well as new & used trailers for sale. A lot of creative ideas as well.
