🔧 BUILD Full retard lifted Prius “build”

[OffshoreDrilling]

Better believe this thing is going to have some saddle blanket seat covers too.

A man of my word.

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

tail lights tinted. Just a hair darker than I wanted but they look good. VHT nightshades, lacquer clear on top of that. I’ll wet sand and polish them next week after the paint cures.

 

[Outlaw]

IDK about full time, but that's actually a pretty slick setup he has built in that car. Tons of storage space.

sup, from the smokies

SADDLE UP HOSS, NOW WE RIDE IN COMFORT!

About done with this car. I’m dreaming about a hitch for a trailer/boat I don’t own.

What kind of tow rating does it have?

I wanted to do a hitch on my car so I could use it for longer road trips, but the tow rating is precisely 0 lbs. I think the manual even says "not an option" lol.

 

[Outlaw]

These say zero for towing as well. Gotta look at what they're rated for in Europe. My TDI wasn't rated for any towing BUT was on the top 10 caravan tow car of the year lists lol.

A big fat 0lbs

enough for a 14’ Jon boat with a 9.9hp on the back. Probably 500lbs between trailer/boat/engine/gear

more worried about tongue weight than anything

 

[Outlaw]

I haven't towed shit with mine yet. I do want to get a cargo carrier for the back though. Would be convenient for bulky stuff.

My 14' jon boat has like 40#'s of tongue weight FYI. I wouldn't be too worried.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Any concerns with the drivetrain or suspension for towing? That’s why I never attempted anything, and because I have a truck, lol

Mine’s a 2012 Infiniti G37xS coupe. Not even sure there would be enough clearance to do a frame mount and clear the mufflers.

With that weight, no. 5x 180lbs adults is 900lbs. Boat and trailer plus two people in the car will be fine. They make airbags for the rear springs if that is even necessary

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

It's a coupe, so only two adults, figure 350 lbs. If something should happen to the truck it would be nice to know I could do it, in case I needed to tow one of the motorcycles (#1 420lbs, #2 700lbs) on a trailer.

Edit: or the ATV ~520lbs.

I like where this is going.

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

I love this car. The crap you can fit in these is stupid.

Brought home a 32x80 pre hung steel door three weeks ago. Laid flat in the hatch no problem and stuck out the back about a foot.


Picked up 4 8’ LED light fixtures and 2 10’ sticks of EMT. Hatch closed.

Just picked up 3 8’ 1x6s and two full sheets of 2” XPS foam. Had to knock it down to 36” wide but fit with hatch shut.

Slide passenger seat all the way forward, lean it all the way back and take the headrest off. Huge area for anything you need.

I can’t wait to get a hitch on this thing and start towing stupid things around.

[DanJ]

10’ pipe and lumber will fit out the passenger window also ?.

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

6 rolls of R-30 still palletized.

It’s nice to just swipe a card some time, but you’re right.

Plus the $500 in lights to put on it.

 

[Mr_Roboto]

You need more powah than those little lights. Do something like this.
