If something similar to this has already been posted, sorry for the repeat. I already had some 2x4 laying around, so I went to the Depot and bought the following:

4 - 2" swivel casters
6 - .5" x 36" steel pipe
3 - .5" x 18" steel pipe
6 - .5" steel elbows
6 - .5" steel floor flange




I made a roughly 2' square with the 2x4 and put a caster on each corner...



Then, using all the steel pipe, elbows and flanges, I made 3 vertical stands and attached them to the 2x4...





Then, added some pipe insulation...



Then, add doors...




I'll probably add some padding to the 2x4, but for now it gets the job done.


Edit: I have since replaced my original 2x4 base with a furniture dolly to allow for some more room between the uprights. So, it's now my $70 door storage rack:

 

Nice job, looks good. If you have an old piece of carpet lying around you could just wrap that around the 2x4 and tack it on underneath.
I guess it'll cost us 4 door guys $100, maybe 2 like that or 1 long one.

 

Probably better to make two like that.

Add it that one suggestion of using a furniture dolly for the hard top and I think I may be in business...

...now I just hope I have the right sized tarps...

This Jeep-thing is a hoot!

 

Looks good CincyJK!
You got my wheels turnin'!

 

Very impressive

 

After looking at the rather expensive ones in the Quadratec catalog, I had been tossing around this same idea ... wood base with pipes for a nice stable cart and either swim noodles or pipe insulation for padding (2 of them for my 4 dr). Thanks for writing this up ... definitely the way I'm going to go.

 

Nice work!

 

I was thinking about making something similar out of 1 1/4" thick walled (high pressure) PVC instead. Do you think that will be strong enough, and very light, and non scratching?

 

Thanks CincyJk, I will make two of those for mine, while I wait another month for delivery.

 

Thanks for sharing your great idea! It's so simple, even a caveman (I) can buid it!
