Mirror Transportation

i need to move a full length mirror 25 miles. Barely too long to lay flat in bed and won’t fit in cab. What’s the smartest way to accomplish.

 

Find someone with a full size truck and offer them beer to transport would be my first option...then negotiate from there. Good luck

 

Either above suggestion or a shit ton of bubble wrap and cardboard and figure out a way to strap it into the bed, maybe make a wooden frame that straps to the tiedowns and strap it to that, dont have a third gen so dont know tiedown points it has

 

U-Haul van $19.99/day + six pack to @here4cake for being a genius.

 

Factory tie downs are on rear corners

 

Glass shouldn’t be transported flat, that is actually a good way to break it. Better to transport it on edge.

 

Could I just hang two two bys over the tailgate and lay it on them and strap down?

 

If you post your location, you may even find someone here to help transport. Via larger truck, trailer or lumber rack...

 

“What can brown do for you?”

 

does it have a frame, or just the glass?

call a glass shop to come quote/fix a cracked windshield and while the driver is there offer them some cash to transport it...

 

It’s framed. I never use my truck for anything so I feel lame if it can’t even move a mirror lol

 

It’s time to test drive a Tundra

 

Around here we would get two guys in the bed holding the mirror and when the job was done pizza and beer would be the payment.

 

run to costco and buy a mattress set, sandwich the mirror between them in the bed at an angle, strap them down, and return the mattress set when you're done...

 

But I’m a sams member!

 

Yes, this is grounds for your man card being revoked. Jk

































But seriously....nah Just kidding

 

whichever big box store is most convenient for you...

 

If one is going to such trouble, at least sleep on the mattress set for a few nights before returning

 

but then you would have to lug it indoors and then back out to return it...

 

Wrap it in moving blankets, Stand it up on end, Secure to back of bed with tie downs, and place something heavy against it like full tote boxes, ect. to hold it in place. Shouldn’t be a big project.
