9) On the farthest 59" 2x4 from the window bar measure 10.5 inches from each end and mark these locations for the 6" rear support pieces to be installed (Figure 2).
10) Place one 6" 2x4 on each of your marked location, drill two 5/32 starter holes in each piece then screw in place using two 3" screws per block. Continue stacking, drilling starter holes and screwing 6" pieces in place until each stack is 3 pieces high ( Figure 2)
11) Optional: Pad the tops of the rear support pieces with foam, felt or soft fabric
Has anyone tried a different location for these blocks? like 6 in or so. It seems that it would rest better (off the hinges)

I wonder if the top with the cart will fit though a standard doorway. I am thinking about this, as my apartment has an elevator and I could just wheel it up to my apartment while I am at work. LOL.

All Done!
Thanks for the write up Riptyd! I put one together today and it works great and sure helps with the room in my garage. I love the fact that I'm able to move it around easily too. 
Here is how mine came out:
