Thanks for the compliments guys.       intoodeep, actually we did fit the cannon into a pickup truck the size of the Ranger. [I forget what make/model]  It also had a cap on it. It took about two hours to load it piece by piece and we had to cut the lunette off to fit the trail and close the tailgate and rear window.  The trail was wedged against the right upper corner of the truck cap and the left side of the tailgate.  Then a wheel was piled on top and off to Canada they went.

I didn't ask them.  That was the reason why they wanted the tailgate and hatch closed.
