Transporting a TJ/LJ for Paint Question

[Fouledplugs]

Has anyone removed a tub from their Jeep and transported it?

I’m laying the groundwork for having a Jeep tub painted.

I can handle getting the tub to the bodyshop. But once painted, what is the best way to transport it to keep it from being scratched, damaged, etc? Thoughts?

I don't have any pictures, but few years ago I made a simple 2x4 frame and rested it on Harbor Freight moving dollies. I painted the tub at a buddies shop, let it dry, put Harbor Freight moving blankets between the tub and the frame, strapped it down, and moved it back to my place on my car trailer. When I was done I reused the 2x4s and dollies.

Ok, I was thinking a hard mount frame might be the best solution here. One that sits on a trailer that I can then attach the tub too for transport. Thanks for your reply.
