I live half way across the country from them. They are delivering my truck to me.
Are they driving it to you or flat-bed delivery?
Some type of truck transport...mine is supposed to be heading this way sometime (I hope)
Eric has been building these for customers for quite a while, I'm betting he has the process of getting them wherever in the country they need to go completely figured out.
Seems like a funny question....

In my case, I am trading in my 2016 to Eric. So, he is driving my new truck and taking my old one. I have bought 3 LC 200s, and none of them were from where I lived. Two delivered by driving, one on a flatbed.
Why? Not sure about others but it does bother me if someone drives my truck cross country...i want ALL the miles on the truck to be driven by me not by someone else. I am selfish that way.
@Madtiger bc i would assume a dealer would arrange transport via shipping not paying someone to drive it 1 way then fly them home - inefficient I feel

Yeah, I don't really care about that.
dealers pay retired folks approx 20-25 cents a mile. Sometimes it's cheaper (for the dealer) to hire a driver than flatbed or airfare.
Car shipping transport is cheap. Last one I did which was 800 miles distance was only $400.

Yes, I had a 4Runner delivered from Texas to SC for $450 last year

We have shipped to about 1/3 of the states so far. Shipping is about $1/mile. Sometimes less/sometimes more. This white one has a trade and customer didn’t care about the 700 miles so we saved a little money not having to pay for two shipments. I don’t typically charge for the retired old-man method. $10/hr isn’t worth arguing about.

Lol I the customer thought it was 500 miles. It is a little over 700.

Seeing this makes me wonder when in the hell they would install trim like from the factory. It looks so amazing without it, so sad there are holes there or I would remove mine right this very second.
Thank you for sharing these photos. It does make me appreciate the vehicles lines so much more
