Megell Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I have a Jeep truck that I use to haul lumber for home improvement projects. I have to use my 91 Subaru sports sedan to haul anything longer than a 12 ft 2x6. Yesterday I brought home a 14 ft. I know my car is good for 16 ft. of lumber, if I'm careful not to get too close to traffic signs and pedestrians, on either side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, with a 16-footer mounted laterally, I think that you are wise to check either side very carefully.:-\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megell Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 Yes, with a 16-footer mounted laterally, I think that you are wise to check either side very carefully.:-\ Yup, 2 to 3 ft sticking out of the trunk and 2 to 3 ft sticking out of the passenger side window. Looks like Subaru on a stick going down the road, but it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnuman Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 My subaru hauls . . . tools. I load my folding hoist, and engine stand, two boxes of tools, my oil catch pan, a work stool, a coolant catch pan, my creeper, my floor jack and two jackstands, as well as a drip pan in the back (and still have room left over), then drive to a jobsite and pull an engine, reseal it, and reinstall it in three days or less. . . Hmmmm, I wonder if this has anything to do with my struts being so worn. . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnuman Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Mine's a wagon. Could never get an engine hoist into a sedan. They don't fold up that much. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megell Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share Posted September 24, 2008 I even hauled a sheet of plywood one time. Course, I had to cut it up in rather small pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
