The internal width of a standard 7.5t box is 8'. How wide is the Chief; and will you be able to open the door once you're in?

[chrisjones]

Ummm.

The Chief is 74" wide, that gives you less than a foot either side.

Out the window & across the bonnet - yeehaw style 

At a real push out of the tailgate coz truck wont b full of shite anyway

Remember, im not one of the more prevalent spherical birtys

Or fit a winch with remote control.  No need to be in the Jeep when it is winched inside the waggon.

I had a look at my bosses horsewaggon (daughter), and also their racing truck (son).  Both kitted out with the latest luxuries (as would be expected of the boss).  Although I didn't have a tape measure, I guessed the Jeep would be too wide to drive in and open the doors.

His son has just moved from go-karts to a Ginetta race car, sponsored by the company, should still fit in the truck.  I have a feeling that the racing truck needs a class 2 licence.  Will take pics next time it is on site.

Cool 

I have emailed a load of sellers and not all of them are wide enuff, but enuff of them were

So this is a SERIOUS thing then Ade?

Bulldog Racing.......

[Bulldog67]

'Bulldogs in Transport', but probably 'Bulldog's Old Iron Racing' in a suitably gothic script 

Definitely happening, Im selling every truck bar two: the Chief, which once its had the LPG fitted is finished for now (I know its never finished but it will have everything done that was on the 5yr plan - Im ahead of schedule ) and the CJ7, which is booked in for a summer monster transformation to complete a 7yr plan.

After that, or before if the right one comes up, the horsebox/transporter will be the priority. I want somewhere to kip in comfort, cook, chill beers, dump, and most importantly, keep warm at night while I schlepp the trucks around. Camping pisses me off and is too time consuming.

And of course the horsebox can still get the full Bulldog beautification treatments - I will be going for the full zombie annihilator customisation of matt black sexiness and chequer plate shutters to make sure it makes me smile. Will have to take the air raid siren out the Chief and stick it in the horsebox instead tho

I forgot to say yesterday the other route is Transit
The medium/long wheel base version with a high top roof will work
you need to be careful as you need the 140ps version
this has a gross train weight (max you can carry of 6t and has a max vehicle weight (substitute mass for weight ie GVM & GTM) of 2.5 t giving a 3,5t toeing capaibility
you can live in it bit dark i will freely admit but get the jigsaw out and  caravan window should do fine
I reckon heating carzy bed and shower will be within the 2.5t
not that i'm trying to spoil you fun WW just giving alternatives
