Hey guys, I'm planning on building a shed this spring but before I can go too crazy, I need to get the foundation built. In order to do that, I need to haul two 14' and two 10' lengths of 4x4 in the Durango. I plan on folding all of the passenger-side seats down flat, but even if the 14' lengths reach the dash, they're still going to stick ~4 feet out the back of the D. Anyone see any issues with doing this?

I saw the d-ring tie downs in the cargo area and will use them, but is there an easy way to tie the tailgate down so it's not just flopping in the breeze? I didn't see anything that obviously looked like a good place for a tie down attachment on the liftgate. I have to drive a little more than 10 miles to get home from the lumber yard and it's all 4 lane highway, so I can go slow without ticking off too many people, but I just want to make sure everything is secure.

Thanks!

 

Rent a trailer or the truck at Home Depot or Lowes!

 

Ram 1500....lol! Ya just rent a trailer from Home Depot and they will load you up.

 

$30 for the hour at the depot...lol

 

14 is way too big. I hauled a few 12' section of drop ceiling track in mine with all seats down and they still had to ride out the pass window about 1.5 foot.

Find a buddy with a truck. The durango has lots of room, but not 14' 4x4 room

 

An old "farmboy " trick , is to tie them under the vehicle.

 

You can rent a 6'x12' utility trailer from U-Haul for an entire day for about $35. No worrying about scratching up your Durango's interior.

 

Thanks everyone. Renting a trailer is out since my Durango doesn't have a hitch. Guess I will be using their truck to move it all.

 

umm why not have them stick out the back and tie the hatch door down? i have done this just make it the shortest drive possible.
