How much height clearance do you have?  Is it a ridiculous idea to have stout toolboxes and drive on top of them in the front with the fullsize, and the brolite's nose can tuck under the rig in the back?

side door would pose an issue though. Maybe put a removable channel on that side and toolboxes on the left side.

As you can see there side door isn’t an issue.
Static bench height may work. I don’t have the height available that the step decks do. 9’3” to the roof.

Toter tires could help but must also have space for 4x40” if that’s on the table too.

big car needs to go in the back also for axle loading help id assume also.  ranger up front on work benches / LQ counters  / shower / toilet might not be a bad idea.  big car pulls in the back in same place weather there is a ranger up front or not.  that sounds like best idea so far.

What’s the purpose to put both into the box? Storage?


A 18’ car trailer seem much easier than cramming both in there? Put ramps between trailer & box to drive the buggy into it. No need to unhook to load/unload.

Or, What about build a ramp to drive the buggy’s front end up & over rear of brolite? There seem to be enough head room

plan has always been to fit in two.    extra trailer axles also sucks for tolls.


i dont think mike will ever own a little 18' car trailer lol.  we have discussed plans for a goose ball behind the box though.

storage is secondary, but I'm almost as excited at the prospect of a clear garage as I am for 2 in the box for transport.

goose ball likely an exception, but good for flexibility. I don't know how Johnny Law wold take to my roughly 85' combination length with my goose. And if I think I want my CDL now I'd be sweating bullets without with that for sure!

I'm really disappointed that building a bump out bubble in the lower 1/2 of the rear doors hasn't been discussed yet. It would make opening 180* a problem, but that plus your stack idea would afford you a luxury bathroom up front.

I believe he mean to customize doors to close over the overhang.

Standard issue on the curtainside enclosed car haulers I was originally eyeing.

I didn't say I would do it. I said I was surprised it hadn't been discussed. I've seen way worse on here. lol
