I read about using Fastenal for such shipments all the time but I have no personal experience. There is a Mud Ship section though. You might see how you can connect the dots. As you know that worked for me but I was in no hurry. Time might be the problem for Mud Ship.
I am happy to do it…I do almost anything for a cause….THIS is a cause. If this is something that will work for you, just say it. You can make any arrangements, I will put in the logistics. I have easy access to truck terminals, ups, ups drop-off, FedEx, even a hit hitch hiker if needed ….
All kidding aside, just let me know..pm if and when

There was a fastenal just outside of Steamboat while living there. Of course it was only one that didn’t or wouldn’t do any services with shipping that all the others I’d read about did.
Placed something in Mudship couple weeks ago, no takers yet.
Jon, I've used Freight Shipping Quotes - LTL & Truckload with Instant Rates | Freightquote - https://www.freightquote.com/ many times. Just need to have the zip for dropoff and pickup and the rest is fairly easy.
I’ll admit, that is easy… I have bought and sold several trucks and cars using an auto carrier… the first was so simple they are now the only one I call. I give her the pickup address and my delivery address and within a few days, the vehicle is here

Success, so far so good on our first trip back to town. Filling her up and drive, drive drive today.

All went pretty well. Died once while creeping in idle in Walmart parking lot.
She does surge while idling which not sure what to think of that.
Not a single hiccup in close to 40 miles in town and highway at 65-70mph.

"Seeking" an idle? Sometimes a sign of a vacuum leak

Can this occur with TBI?
First TBI rig and several cruisers. Never had a leak in any others.

Have you messed with the idle air control valve?

Probably, I messed with a lot of stuff replacing those injectors. Excellent point, will tear into that shortly.

80 series steering wheel????
I don't know. I guess you can still have a vacuum leak, is the TBI smart enough to figure that out and compensate?
NO!

That’s what she came with. Jim and Bonnie’s preference.

I pulled breather just to check the gaskets, to see if everything was where it was supposed to be and wasn’t pinched but nothing stood out. Figured if something was wrong there she wouldn’t have ran as well down the highway?
‘80s mini truck steering wheel. Added when power steering and the F150 seats went in. Didn’t need the leverage of the bigger diameter stock wheel and the smaller one (inch or two difference) also provided more clearance for the driver with the taller captain’s chairs. Bolt on. Still Toyota. Only had to add pins to self cancel the turn signals.

That sounds like a great plan!
I hope all went well...
