Kart on the bed?

[RandyC]

Bumping an older thread. Anyone successfully using the Ridgeline without a trailer to carry a full kart? I want to be able to toss a shifter kart in the back. Anyone using the Joe Hauler solution on a Ridgeline? Any other solutions?

Possibly I will just decide the best answer is a trailer, but in California a trailer will slow you down a lot (different speed limits on the freeways), plus the storage for a trailer.

Randy,
The front fits fine, the sidepods have to come off, and the rear (at 54" wide) has to sit on the tailgate. You could probably loosen the rear hubs (just don't forget to re-tighten them ) and get it all the way in. You only need a couple of inches. I then run a ratchet strap from the front lower tie down, across the frame, around the axle and back up to the back tie-down. I do this on both sides.
Fortunately, I don't have to haul very often since I have a garage at the track, but it does work.
