Default Transporting a .40 slab

I'd like to build a Mojo .40 without removable wings. Trouble is that I can't figure out how to transport
one in my step side Ranger. It won't fit in the cab, and it won't fit between the bed sides.
The only thing I can think of it to build a pvc rack that will hold the plane nose down wings parellel
to the bed sides.
Anyone have any ideas?

It should fit diagonally between the rails on the bed. I can fit one in the trunk of a Taurus. Tip-clipped ailerons help that along as well.

I switched to a minivan and love it. I can carry five profiles (2x60 size and 3x40 size) or three and enough gear to last a week at an event.

Removable wings on a 40 size are just not a great idea. Weaker and heavier.
Build it wings on and change the vehicle as necessary. Got to get your priorities straight.

You will LOVE the MOJO! Def. do not build it as rem. wing-I used to stuff mine into a '91 Ford Probe in the front seat (laid back) and could even fit my Mojo 60 (orig. version) in the same spot. Hang low with a Mojo baaaaaybeeeeeeeee![8D]

Wow! A Mojo 40 won't fit? So how narrow is the bed of a step sided Ranger?
