Hands-down the most rediculous load ever...
OK, instead of retyping everything I just posted, I will just link to it:

I don't know what I was thinking, but that doesn't really matter, because it worked.
So let this be a formal challenge for someone to out-do me!

why didnt you take the tire out of the roof basket and tie the strips to the roof rack?
My cow died last night ......so I don't need your bull!

That was the original plan, and might have worked better, but it was late, I was tired, and I just started shuving it into the tailgate, and it worked! Plus, the 15' foot trim pieces were really floppy. I was worried about stability and breakage if I put them up top. Nowadays, it seems trim is made from a cardboard like material that is rather fragile. I mangled a few pieces of it with the ratchet straps in the process, but 90% of it survived.Originally Posted by bigkoala1

That is just way too funny...
More people should do off the wall/genius stuff like this! Because it will bring confusion and/or smiles to the tunnel-visioned masses who just happen to witness such events!

I end up taping or shrink wrapping both ends and sliding about half out the front passenger side window. It'll sit diagonally back to the corner behind the driver, but ou have to adjust the passenger seat. I used pieces of foam or blankets to cover anything that might get abraded (like the center arm rest, the back corner, seat and window seal. If the load isn't heavy (like quarter round or other thing stock) I also elevate the window and "clamp" the stock to the wind-deflector. It keeps things from moving.

LOL, I wouldn't go so far as to call it "genius", off the wall, yes, but imo, certainly not the smartest thing I have ever done!

Yeah, a little trailer is actually a good idea. Eventually, especially if I ever get a quad...YAY, I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE! You need to get yourself a Sanford and Sons trailer like mine! Amateur!

You forgot the ratchet strap to hold up that door (shame it's not easier to take off)
Super VXer
Actually, its hard to see, but I had a bungy holding the tailgate closed on the trim...

Nice house...you get to finish it the way you want.....even better.

I got to do the same thing on the company's dime. I live on property and was able to rennovate a building that should have been condemmed. I was able to breathe new life into it. Nothing like being able to design (within reasnonable budgetary constraints) your own place.....
You guys will be able to check it out next month!
Have fun, Bart!
