I just bought a used, standalone (tub unit only) Texas Sidecar Co. Ranger model sidecar from a great guy in Diana, Texas. The problem I have is I live in New Jersey 1450 miles away. I'm looking for the best way to safely get my 2024 sidecar delivered. Also any tips on prepping this odd shaped freight for travel would be a great help.

You can try U ship it Tub only is a tough one. Otherwise, you going to have to crate it. send it Motor freight. If it was on wheels, then I use Keyboard freight for a complete sidecar

I contacted uShip and I'm waiting a few days to see what bids come in.

Yes I did.  I've been looking for a late model used sidecar and his bundle deal with the Sweet EZsteer made my decision an easy one.
