Heh heh. You just said you can't afford to sell the mattress and buy a new one at your destination.

If Hootie is moving to my state it's time to get out.

if it is just the mattress you are hauling, and you have racks...you are FINE strapping it down brother....They are just ****ing with you.....As long as it doesn't exceed the overhang limits or block your vision....Strap that bitch down and roll. I have strapped so much shit down.....one queen mattress...piece of cake.

Hammock Parties 08-02-2012 08:12 PM
it's a queen mattress and a queen box and if he's ****ing with me I'm not going to be happy...I did research and I just don't trust it...I'd be willing to spend up to $200 shipping this thing but the cheapest I have found is $320...so it's either I find a buyer in 5 days or try the luggage racks and I really don't want to cause a traffic accident on the way home

spend 25$ on some nice ratcheting tie downs...if it doesn't exceed the overhang, you are fine.

You could also ditch the box spring, since they do JACK SHIT in terms of the mattress, and then pick up a box spring off craig's list when you get there..and just tie the mattress down.

Either way I can't see it being a big deal, just use like 4 tie downs...nad get them tight as ****.

Now that I know the whole story I have to agree. Get some straps, Grandma Griswold the son of a bitch to the top of the car and GO!

What could go wrong?

wait, so this isn't Clayton? Where is Clayton?

Frazod 08-02-2012 08:20 PM
Nevermind, I thought this was Clay. Like I give a **** where Pootie is moving.

if I am ever unbanned I'll give you some rep if I ever get into the green again

A Queen is 60x80
The roof racks for a 2002 Allroad are 48 wide.
6" overhang on either side
Dunno how far apart you can place the racks on the roof, but 80" is a lot to cover.
Carrying capacity is only 145# as well.

Doesn't look promising

I've got a call into a guy that works for a logistics company to see if he can get someone to deadhead it there for you or at least get it close enough that you could pick it up from a terminal.

You might be okay doing this, but I wouldn't do it. Too much risk for too little gain.

Also, this thread could go 1,000 and make it to the hall of classics if all goes well (and by "well", I mean "comically wrong").
