Put a 30* bend in your tie downs -- you're never going to get a hook (twisted flat style) in there and not interfere with your fuel tank... as it looks from the pics... Maybe there's more space than the pics show. But you might want to test that before you're done mocking up.

Beautiful work as usual. When you moving to Giantsville to go full time?

I guess with the car up on the lift the camera angle gave a short perspective. At normal hieght the hook is about 2" lower than the tank so I hope it will be ok. I would test it but I don't own a car trailer. I'm waiting for you to buy a new one so I can buy your old one, It'll match my truck perfect. Thanks for the compliment.

Giantsville, maybe, my wife did tell me to get out of the house and do something.

Oh......I'm sorry. Are you vertically challenged as well? I didn't connect the dots with the mini truck thing. My bad.

Hay Marty - he is from the valley of the Giants also. Vertically challenged guys are thrown from the cliff. Down into the valley.

Yep, I too picked the wrong parents. No chance of height in my kids future either.

ps I used to have a Yota that stood 9 foot 6.

Roger you Giant you stay out of this. Just because you can't fit in a normal car like the rest of the world you don't have to take it out on us short guys.

BTW - you doing any riding on that niner of yours ?

Next time stand on a box to take the correct photos.... lest we all get the wrong impressions. Size is everything. Just ask Rodger.
