How can I add additional support for the monitor?
Do you mean bring 2x4s?

You really shouldn't need anything but the hardware in the cab to secure the monitors. THAT SAID, be sure to bring at least 8 or so assorted bolts, washers and nuts - if they're not in the cab, you may not be able to get them at the auction.
And, yes, one will fit fine. Just transported a DJ Jr in my PT Cruiser with the rear seats removed and have done one in a Jeep Grand Cherokee - both smaller than the Durango.
Have fun and good luck! :cheers:

Well, I came, I saw, I bid and I walked away empty handed. I walked in with a max $ amount, and none of the machines I wanted sold for less. Oh well, maybe next time. It was a good learning experience.
The highpoint was that my teenage two boys and I had a great day together. From the important life point of view I didn't walk away empty handed.

To tell you the truth, there weren't many good machines. There were 2 very nice uprights (Ms. Pac Man, Asteroids) in almost perfect condition. The Terminator 2 needed new artwork and had wood chipped off, but was working 90%. There were 5 showcase shooting games, of which only two had a good monitor, and one didn't even work at all. The two good ones went for $600 and $800.
Well, of the 30 machines, only 12 were usable as is. The others needed monitor repairs or other work. The NJ shore, we don't have a beach we have a shore, has about 50% redemption machines now and the games are being pushed out. The only real good buy was for a sit down cockpit game, a Sega I think, that went for $150. It had hydrylics and everything with a very nice monitor. But, it weighed a ton. I would have taken it but it was too wide to put in the basement.
The bummer was that one guy, a distributor, bought all the nice games. Quick to bid, quick to raise the price. I bumped up against him twice and lost both times. If he wasn't there I would have had a machine.
Like I said, live and learn...
