Title: Candy cab moving
Post by: quadmasta on August 15, 2005, 10:17:29 pm

Does anybody know if a Neo Candy 29 will fit on its back in the rear of an Explorer?

A Dynamo cab will. Can you provide dimensions?

the candy cabs are designed to fit thru a house door. i would say yes if its a hatchback.
i just sold my 29" Egret and the buyer picked it up in a suburban type vehicle.
And it s no smaller if not bigger than a candy 29

If that's a full size Dynamo, then the candy cab should have no problems.  From memory, the Neo Candy 29 would be ~53" tall, ~26" wide, and ~30-36" deep...  I'm at work, so I can't measure.  Definitely smaller than a normal full size cab, though.

EDIT: home, found some dimensions I'd taken for someone else at one point...  56" high, 28" wide, 36" deep overall.

Yep, full sized Dynamo. The hatchback wouldn't close all the way, it lacked maybe two inches of clearance to latch. Had to tie it down.

i had to take the door off its hinges to get my astro city to fit. needed another 1/2 inch. pita.

the door never quite closed the same again, even though everything seemed to line up.

Mine fit in the back of my 96 tahoe with plenty of room to spare. A explorer should be no problem.

I hope you got a good price for that cab!

I have hauled Astro and Windy cabs in the back of an Explorer no problem (you have to put it in on its side).
