Hope this is the right forum for this, sorry if it isnt.
Does anyone know if a full size donkey kong will fit in the back of a ford explorer? I have a 2000, and I am going to check according to jakobuds plans, but was just wondering if anyone knew off hand.
Thanks for any response.

i don't know for sure, but if i had to guess, i'd say yes, it will fit. i hauled a few cabinets in the back of my friend's 96 jeep grand cherokee, which i believe has a smaller cargo area than the explorer, including a 25" dynamo cabinet. i dont think a DK cabinet is anywhere near as big as the dynamo
here is the cabinet in question:

Another vote for yes.
A guy I know picked up a Super Pac-cab from me in a little hatchback and said he had also hauled DK's in it. It was a lot smaller than an Explorer.

Yes - it will fit (with the back seats down obviously) but you will have to lay it on its side.

I'm going to say yes. A Donkey Kong fits in my MDX no problem (with the seats down, obviously).

Those cat graphics are sweet.

put the back seats down...and buy some rope...and tie down the trunk door with a heavy blanket underneath....the cab should be at least 5 feet....( top of my head measurement)...

Wow thanks for all the answers guys, If all goes well I should be picking one up this friday night.
I try and post some pics of the (hopefully, small ) restoration.
Looks like my scratch built one will be on hold for awhile....

sorry, i gave that cabinet to a friend when i moved last summer..i just didn't think i'd have the room for it. my wife still thinks we don't have the room for it, but i'm trying to convince her otherwise. I don't think he has done anything with the cabinet since i took it over there, but i don't really want to just ask for it back.

Well, the guy I bought the game from had a schedule opening, and I went and picked it up tonight insead of friday and Im now the owner of my first arcade game. It was a donkey kong converted to a vs. system and back to a donkey kong. The monitor looks great, and the controls are solid. I think most of it is original from when it was made so I have a bit of a decision to make as whether or not to really restore some minor blemishes, or to leave them as is and keep it original..
Once I get started I'll post a topic in restorations.
Oh, and it fit in my explorer, thanks for all the answers!
