2 years ago, when we took our garden wagon to the Grand Design Rally, I had to make a rack that would fit over the tonneau cover, with this I was able to take the wagon without stuffing it into the trailer. There was no room in the back of the pickup under the tonneau cover. I didn't think I would need the rack again so I used the wood for some other projects. I have the same issue this year except it's 2 wagons. I used the same basic design; I even had the same metal brackets I used 2 years ago. I used some 2x2's and 2x3's and some cheap fence board to make the rack. I made a story board to make sure the wagon tires will fit.

I had to make wings on the back of the rack for the low-rider wagon, the rear track is about 4 inches wider than the front track. If this doesn't work, my other option will be to remove the tonneau cover and load everything on top of the wagons in the back of the truck.

Prior to the 2023 rally, it was announced that there was going to be an stupid wagon contest. I took our plastic garden wagon and pulled it around with a light up Christmas reindeer wearing a Hawaiian shirt. Someone pulling a little Radio Flyer wagon won the contest. In 2024, we did not attend the rally. The winner of the stupid wagon contest was a decorated standard sized Radio Flyer wagon. I decided then that I needed something totally different to wow the rally goers and win the Stupid Wagon contest. I decided to build a low-rider wagon. I had seen pictures of some, and they looked pretty cool. I started a search for a wagon a few months ago but wasn’t having much luck. Then my daughter and her husband had to move, and they were selling off some stuff to raise some money. One of the items they ...
