These things hold more than you think!!

I must say I was quite impressed with how much interior room my 94xlt has once the seats are dropped. The other day my friends and I had to go pick up some beer and were able to fit 107 cases in the back!!! yes thats right 107 cases of beer! (approx 1800lbs...oops)I'll try to get a picture up on my page soon!

Well the first pictures did not come out very well, but sometime in the next week I have to go out and pick up another 150. I know they wont all fit, but I may use the front seat this time. I will MAKE sure these pictures come out. It was quite an impressive sight!

Where do you put the "ICE"?

FLASH / story to follow...........

The newly formed Explorer Group of Alcohlolics Anonymous just held their first meeting with great fanfare and attendance. The Explorer Group represents a new direction for AA since Explorer AA meetings will be scheduled in alternating scenic places nationwide in areas normally inaccessible to the general motoring population of drunks.

The inaugural meeting featured a cigar lighting to honor the memory of an unfortunate potential AA member-in-training whose very topheavy Explorer fell down a three hundred foot embankment below an off-camber trail he was attempting to traverse while trying to beat the previous Explorer cargo load record of 436 cases of beer.

you've never taken a tour of Coors or budweiser (old family pasttime here in Colorado where Coors is about 20 miles away and Budweiser is about 120 miles away). I can definately see the need for 107 cases! LOL. We had a company party a while back (keep in mind we only have about 60 employees plus spouses and some kids), we had four kegs and just about floated all of em. That was a fun day at the park .

Hmm. That's a lotta beer.

Drive safely!

Ah, the only kids there were about 5 or 6... and no, they didn't help drink any of the kegs .

Hey I can top that, but I wasn't hauling beer..it was coke and water. I had over 125 cases of coke and 50 cases of water. I ended up taking some of it out because the rear axle was basically riding on the 2 rubber bumpers on the frame and I didn't want to break anything. I ended up hauling about 110 cases of coke and 25 cases of water...what a load that was!!!

With all that beer was your rear axle riding on the rubber bumpers?!
i wonder what a cop would say if they pulled you over and you had all that beer in the back!! LOL

It's a little off the subject, but has anybody seen this yet? Dead Link Removed I didn't know that VW was in the heavy hauler business.

heh heh heh...i think we need to see if we can get this guy to meet us at moab...PAAAAAARTY!!




Post Script...I meant the beer guy....

Looks to me that he could build ou all a nice little house out at Moab, foundation and all! Damn, that guy was crazy. My cousin has a Jetta, I'd like to see if he can haul that much I just wanna know why its parked halfway into a parking space sideways with a woman in the car sleeping with the car running....
