Quoted from Pinless:I’m about to go and pickup a Maverick. The owner is not a pin person, and I’m new to this as well.
What’s the best way to move it? Head folded down? Or take it off? What tools do I need to take with me?
I have a truck or a 4Runner I can use to move it. There’s a slight chance of rain this afternoon so I’d prefer to use the 4R with the seats down. Plus it has a rear sliding stray that might make it easy to unload.
Also there’s no key, any issues without having it? I figured I could drill out the lock and replace it.
Fold the head down (I'd put a towel under it so that it doesn't dent the side rails if you hit any bumps) and bring a ratchet/socket set (most leg bolts are 5/8). If there's a chance of rain, I'd so bring a tarp. If you're going in a pickup truck, I'd also bring a strap or two (along with cardboard to rest against the straps).
Oh, and a hand truck.
Have fun!
