Tore out a closet the yesterday. Today used the 2x4s to build a frame to fit inside our Victory rack to bring home some drywall.
I like the Victory rack, but it is only 47" wide, and the cross pieces are just a bit below the level of the side rails. That means that drywall or plywood carried on top would get marred by the side rails. I ran 4 2x4s front-to-back with a couple of 9" pieces screwed underneath that fit between the cross-bars. Then attached a couple of side pieces so that the straps wouldn't collapse the side of the drywall.
A bit too much effort for a single run to the store, but I expect we'll have more drywall or plywood to haul in the future. Or we could just borrow the neighbor's trailer...
