• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

How many beers fit in the frunk?

BEER RUN

Not to burst you're bubble on this attempt......but here is something to think about ....95 miles on not glass smooth roads = lots of spraying beer cans/bottles when you open them.....Unless you wait at least 24 hrs. and get them really, really cold....even then it may be too soon ...Good Luck.....Mike....:thumbup:
 
I have a good bit of experience with overloading my frunk. I can fit 2x 18-packs without much trouble, so I am going to guess 40+ cans with creative stacking. And I have never noticed a difference in handling...but to Mr Fun's point--perhaps I am just used to it.

Best,

with proper stacking (or min/maxing if you prefer) i think 34 (this is using SWAG1 and SWAG2 methodology) is your magic number BUT, and i cannot stress this enough:
you MUST leave room for some form of padding. you really don't want the cans moving around enough (form turns, etc) to rupture even one of you passengers.
cleaning beer out of a frunk is truly a depressing experience (on multiple levels).

i suggest take a few rags (spare washcloths or REAL rags) would be ideal, that way u can pack however u want and any 'leftover' rags can be left behind/thrown away.

just a tip.....from your Uncle Kip :cheers:
 
Yes-- the trunk (sorry- I refuse to call it the F**** word) has a drain plug in the bottom and can hold ice and cold beer or pop...

two, 24 packs, correctly placed ( some wiggling ) , never tried unleashed can's and lot's of ice. Probably not gunna happen, with the sound system in there as well.
 
*scratching head* How come no one has gone out and bought a case or two for research?

I am guessing you can only get Y in the bottles, so I will pick up a couple cases tonight and do some research for everyone! :yes:
 
Why do I feel the need to explore a mod that could keep a party ball cold in the trunk and allow for pressurization and dispensing. Then I could just build inserts for my fleetliners that sort and store airplane bottles and a small respository for cups / ice and BAM, "The Spyderbar Mod" is born.

Anyone have a spare trunk laying around to donate to an aspiring mod maker? Is carrying active CO2 in a moving vehicle legal?
 
30 pack easily fits

I use the spyder for beer runs all the time. The frunk easily holds a 30 pack of cans without removing them from the packaging, with plenty of room to spare! I love the look on peoples faces when I walk out with the 30 pack, set it on the seat while I pop open the frunk. Slide the 30 pack on in and then the questions start!
 
Is carrying active CO2 in a moving vehicle legal?

CO2 cartridges are carried in vehicles all the time. As are many pressurized gases, butane, propane, diver's tanks. Not a problem. :thumbup:.

I'm trying to picture this and it is sounding like you should have it ready for L's BBQ. ;)

Yuengling is available in cans but it's harder to find, and I figure cans would be a little more tolerant, not to mention condusive to innovative stacking. I'd be happy to do actual testing but my RS is in for its' initial service (and riser and backrest installation), should have it back tomorrow. Plus had I just done it myself we would have all been denied some quality entertainment! :popcorn:

Well heck Keith, that is like 4 months away, that is all the time in the world. I will be setting up a kickstarter project to see if I can raise the money to pay for it...

I bet the kickstarter people would laugh there @$$'s off over that proposal.

If anyone out there has a trunk lid they will give me, I will honest to goodness try it. But I will need a trunk to drill a hole in and put a keg stack on for the top. The other main issue will be keeping the container cold. I will have to give up some beer storage for cooling area and CO2 container and hosing, but honestly its just a little kegerator, and shouldnt be that hard.

I would think the molded fleetliner inserts to service the wet bar might be harder, I will need something like that little cart from an airplane. I will keep you posted.

Bob, would it void my insurance to have a beer dispensing stack on the hood if I didnt use it unless I was parked? Perhaps a quick disconnect that is there so it cant be used while moving (tried to picture a person leaning all the way out there to get a draft while driving, then assumes some dumbbutt would)

Frunk Beer

About a week after I bought the spyder, I discovered that I can put 2 - 18 pks of miller lite in the frunk and one case (24 pk) in the rear as long as I remove the top two layers. Have to do it when I catch them on sale. ITS ALL GOOD!!:yes::yes:
