How do you haul your buggy?


Lots of questions about, Will a buggy fit in a ?
Just how do you get the buggy to where you are going? Pics would help.

I drive a yukon xl and my Peter Flexi bigfoot just rolls right in after removing the rear wheels. I have bucket seats in the middle row.

WELDNGOD, I like the yellow. I made a bracket to fit around the goose-neck above the seat that has a dog bone lock to the rack, don't even need straps to hold it on. The canopy has all the other stuff (about 30 kites) and 1 rad buggy and 1 kite trike, and 4 ATBS. I need a trailer.

Nice rack WELDNGOD, glad to see you got it finished.

My PL fits in the trunk of my honda accord, after I take off the back axle. I remove the gooseneck from the side-rails as well just to pack it a little tighter.

Had a custom hitch made to support the rear axle and use my spare tire mounted bike rack to secure it. Can still fit a bike on there.

I'd actually like to set mine up to swing away, like my tailgate. I know it can be done, but would involve a new bumper and cost lots $$$. They make heavy duty swing away tire carriers for Jeeps, for supporting larger rims and tires. They swing away separate from the tailgate, instead of being attached to the tailgate like they are in stock form. It's set up now that I can lay the buggy down on the front tire with it still being in the hitch, then I can open the tailgate without having to completely unmount the buggy.

Yeah, given how low the back of that car already looks Todd, probably a good idea.
