What does your trunk look like.


Beachrights question got me thinking about the vehicles I seen at SOBB a few weeks ago and the ones that showed up at NABX this year.

What does your trunk look like? (I dont have a trunk, and the wifes car is off limits)

What does the back of your truck look like? (It is full to the top of the canopy, I think I have a bed liner under everything but not sure.)

What does the back of your bike look like? (I took 5 kites and a buggy with me on a trip to Reno one year and stopped at a few dry lake beds on the way and a few very large fields in Oregon to buggy. Everything fit into the trailer that I towed behind my GL1800.)

What does your ride look like?

This is about the kite stuff inside, not the outside, unless you put all your kite stuff on the outside.

Take a picture so we can see how messy or overwhelming the stuff is.:o Best picture wins the title of "Best Kite Stuff Ride" :lol:

here is mine.

How about some video? Eli has some video of the two of us packing and repacking (4 times) the S-10 I drove to NABX this year. Was amazing that we got 2-hardcore buggies, 20+ kites, helemets, body armor, video and camera gear, one 10'x10' tent, two sleeping bags, pillows, clothes, medical gear, and 3 coolers into/on to that little truck.

You didnt get all of your stuff in the back of your truck, I think I had to stop off in Newport to drop something off. HMMMMM, think it had 3 wheels and some playa dust on it. :lol:

That would have been 3 full size race buggies on that tiny s-10, which was overloaded to begin with! :lol:

BB, I more or less keep the bed full of kite stuff most of the time, unless we are taking the motorhome.(thats another story itself, sure glad it has a ladder up to the roof, cause the basement is more than full) My truck is a quad cab, the back seat hold all kinds of other stuff.:eekdrull:
