    World's most burning question.

    How many cinderblocks can you fit in the back of a VX?

    24 (neatly stacked so they don't tear up the interior).

    Seats were in but tumbled forward.

    BTW - you could probably fit more but at the risk of gouging your interior. Then again, who in their right mind would haul cinderblock in a vehicle they wanted to keep the interior nice in.

    Oh Yeah, that was me.

    Yeah, Cinder blocks can FUBAR your interior quickly. I hauled a bunch in my Xterra along time ago and mangled it pretty good on the inside.

    NAW! Trailers take up too much room in the yard. Besides, that would be too logical & we can't have any of that going on around here.

    I have one of those hitch "shelves" or whatever they're called - comes in handy for hauling small loads (also have the 4x8 for stuff that wont fit on it or in the back) - I've loaded 16 bales of pine straw (4x4 stacked) without an issue - just have to tie it down real good. It's also great for camping - you put your big cooler back there and waterproof gear bags - lt easier to get to things than loading on top.

    How would something like this help?

    http://www.roll-a-bed.com/?gclid=CKK...FQKhIgodzTS5yg

    There is another brand I can't remember that's not so heavy-duty and was smaller, seemed at the time that it would work pretty good in a VX without back seats.

    I told you - that's too logical. Can't be a part of any of that kind of stuff.

    Next time I'll just take the TLC. I could probably fit a hunnert in there.

    Actually, I have a 6x12 for when I need it.

    John,

    The "hitch shelf thinggy" probably wouldn't work too well for me since I have the 33x12.50 hanging on the back door.

    BTW - I just learned that a basketball goal will NOT fit in a VX (unless you take it out of the box. (LOL)

    When did you join the girl scouts?

    It looks like you had about 24 in there (& they look about the same size as a cinderblock).
