I am buying a 40 tub that's located in VA on the border with NC. Probably the closest town is Mt. Airy, NC. Is there a possibility of anyone from that area heading up towards Iron Pig in the very near future that would be willing to transport the tub? I'm driving down from western NY so if there's a chance I can shave off a few hours, I'm definitely going to try.

Johnny (GLTHFJ60) can vouch for me if for some reason you think this is bogus. But maybe he's not the best reference :hillbilly:
 
i am going from DC to EI in three weeks, i am not sure if i can mud ship to another mudshipper, but i can get it part of the way at least. John-e can vouch for me to. I still have the earthy goodness of diff oil from delivering his 80 rear end :)
 
:lol:

Mt. Airy is about 2.5 hours from Raleigh, so it's a bit out of the way for you Darin. It's closer to 74/77 and 81 than anything else.

Anyone willing to mudship would need to have a trailer to transport this 40 tub. I'm sure Chris would have no problem sending some good beer or fuel $ to the person that cuts a couple of hours out of his drive :D

Chris, YukonLX ( parker ), custyota ( adam ) and krzyabncanuck ( darin ) are all a bit nuts :D Parker brought my newest e-locked 80 rear axle from DC down to Raleigh for me, Darin is the fine gentleman I bought my new body from and we're currently in the middle of doing a 60 series PS conversion on Adam's 40 after getting it in running and driving condition last winter. There's a lot of work being done down in these parts!!

I am driving up to NY in two weeks or so, but I was planning on taking the Jetta due to fuel economy and I was going up to Albany instead of Rochester. If needed, we might be able to work something out to have me trailer the tub up to Albany and then you could pick it up from there, but I don't have a good place to store it in Albany, nor do I have a trailer:hhmm: I forgot to mention that yesterday on the phone, my bad buddy!

ONSC dudes, for a bit of history, Chris and I had a marathon road trip out to CT from Rochester, NY to get this project 40 that he's been working on. The body left something to be desired, but the frame is solid and is the perfect platform to start a rockcrawling project. Chris rebuilt the 2F the winter before last and has been collecting parts to make this truck into a badass rock rig:grinpimp: SOA, 35-37" tires, SM420 w/ Dana 300 transfer, etc. This new tub will be the cherry on top:D

Let us know what you want to do Chris and we'll see if we can help:cheers:

If you do trailer it....

I live right near albany...if it's going to be a relative quick turn around...you could drop the trailer to be picked up at my place...the blue haired community that i live around me will not be pleased if it there for an extended period....nor would the wife be all that pleased LOL

However...keep this is mind for a possibility for you guys

BTW my kids would think it's cool :)
 
I appreciate the offers, but I am all set. A buddy and I are heading down for the tub tonight (picking it up first thing tomorrow morning) then picking up a set of Rockwells in PA on the way home.
 
Sweet!

What route are you taking? It's a better idea for Nick to pick up the Rockwells rather than the second 4runner.
 
Same, if anyone needs anything from this area, i am coming to eastern NC in 2 weeks.
 
not unless it could go on top.
 
i am coming to Raleigh tomorrow. If anyone needs anything brought back up this way, let me know. I am coming back sunday.
