Last minute change meant we had to load 10' studs in an 8' bed

Good design on the rear doors. We're able to open the 2 doors & latch the hatch closed. Stacked just right, the load holds the rear doors open and a strap keeps 'em steady. A bungy would have been better. But this worked.

Here in NY we need to red flag any load that sticks out 4'. Nothing I know about re. open doors.
Its legal if you don't get caught?

Just make sure to open the hatch before you close the doors, or a really bad thing will happen.....
