    Why not trailer it.....its alot easier than blowing out your shoulder....a utility trailer will cost you $250-350. As far as a Slipstream....waste of money. I bought one for a Rav 4 I had & it was useless.....plus like I said...the strain on your shoulders will catch up with you.

    That's cool but I gots no issues with the shoulders and that trailer would be more of a hassle to fit in the garage than my racks are. I don't live where it's convenient to get to my backyard with something like that. I do agree that it would be much quicker and less of a workout to be loaded up and gone vs. all the procedure I have to do tho. Nice setup but isn't there a license plate and tag? Lighting to keep working? Extra tires and bearings to maintain? Tradeoffs..............I do like it tho, don't get me wrong.

    I would love to have that setup but due to my HOA, the only place to put a trailer is in my garage which there isn't room for.

    That trailer is very light, reg. cost me $18/yr , really not much to maintain & I can unhook it & wheel it closer to the water when needed. Plus...it can also fold in half for storage.

    Genius.

    I was wondering where I could find some cheap foam stuff, and was coming up blank. Thanks for the inspiration!
