Just found out 10’ 2x4’s fit

Was pleasantly surprised that I could fit 2 10’ 2x4’s without leaving the glass open by running them to passenger footwell with passenger seat backed up all the way. It’s the little things haha

Yeah, I did the same thing with some conduit and again with some base molding! It's an awkward load for sure, but it's great that the car is juuuust that capable. I have a 1" thick foam kneeler that I just bend into a giant "U" to protect that passenger seat and the console. I see in pic 2 that you came prepared with the crossbars just in case.

Certainly they are capable little trucks.

You know how else they'd fit?

Strapped to your roof rack where they can't shift around and scrape up your interior.

Yeah I’ll be totally honest I’ve never strapped anything to the top of a vehicle before and just went the path of least resistance lol next time I’ll give the crossbars a go! Just cool to know these sports are roomier than I realize sometimes.

You guys are just showing off that you can afford lumber.

Thanks. The outer slots accommodate 4x8 goods. Easy to store, easy to put on and off. The occasional lumber run was the only thing I was going to need crossbars for in the near future and I did not want to be looking at them the other 360 days of the year. A design challenge and an excuse to use the router that gathers dust these days.

Clever ideas for hauling lumber. I put a luggage rack on my Karman Ghia long ago. I was amazed at the difference in gas mileage. I don't leave a luggage rack on unless I need it.

And here’s the reason I got rid of my Sport and got a Maverick.
