Does anyone haul a t bucket I there toy hauler? I don't have one but I am thinking about building one. My wife will not ride a motorcycle but is interested in the t bucket. If it will fit in my hauler that has a 12' garage I may build me one. They weight anywhere from 1500 to 2000 pounds. Depending on how they are equipped.

What about a vintage VW beetle. You will not get wet in the rain.

These guys make some long ramps for low profile vehicles. If you set your ramp door on a set of these it might give you what you need. They are high density foam and very light weight so easy to setup and take down.

Should be just fine. Just need to figure out how to decrease the angle on the ramp door which can be easily done

Weight is no problem
My sandrail is 2800lbs and I drive that right up in my Warrior.
Width at my rear paddles is 94" and I fit in with a little bit on each side.

I can fit my T-Bucket, (340 Mopar-904 trans), in my Stealth 2812 Toy Hauler. My car is 7 feet 2 inch wide, and 11 feet, 2 inches long. Weight is 1680 wet. With an 8 foot wide door, no issues. It is shorter than my 4 seat Gem electric car that also fits. My garage is 13 feet plus. I do have the "Turtle Deck" on loading. Good luck!

Stock width they're pretty narrow (we have a full fendered '26) but "T-Bucket" like Grabowski's usually run pretty wide rear tires. I know ours won't make the ramp transition, have trouble just getting it on a car hauler.

I don't know that there is a standard. It would depend on the width of the rear end, and the size of the tires mostly. And that would depend on the style of your hot rod. Some like really wide tires, some like the more traditional old style narrow tire.

Some are lower than others. I am concerned with the width, I am not sure how wide they are.

Aren't T-buckets fairly low to the ground? My concern there is will it clear the bend where the ramp meets the garage floor?
