4. Often the shipping costs change between a commercial address with loading dock or a residence, because of the weight of the bumper. It is often a difference of $60 - $100. I'm guessing the free shipping prices are to a commercial dock. Does anyone know someone with such a dock that I could ship to? 75% of the time I will be working so I could not pick it up right away.
Any thoughts?
Don't worry about this... we'll tell em that we will actually pick up the stuff in my truck and we DON'T want to pay shipping beyond FedEx Freight... not to our house or a dock. It should all fit in the truck w/o a problem and they're happy to help you load it.
Just did this w/ the Troopy springs.

Ok good news. I talked to Mark at metaltech and he was more than happy to see if ARB would waive some fees so that he could pricematch the bumper and lights from the other site. I'm waiting for the answer now.
Sparkpulg - the commercial address is one where they have a loading dock.
Mark also said the best thing is just to have it shipped to Lafayette and have them hold it at the fedex place until I get home. He said the box that the bumper comes in is huge, but I can cut it open and the bumper comes in 3 pieces that I can fit inside an FJ.
Scott, he also still has me on the list for a rear bumper, so when they get that made we can throw them together for the shipping savings.

Deal.
Do whatever you wish about leaving your bumper there but I can pick it up for you (wouldn't mind a bit) and would be willing to bet it's safer at my house than there
I'd be glad to store it for you if you like.

Scott,
I appreciate that, and I'd like to do it. Mark just sent me a message that he can do $1288 for bumper/lights/shipping, so i am jumping on it. I may have to put your name on it though because it probably has to be signed for. I will talk to Mark about it and see if he knows how to do it. I guess just put your name on it just like it was a gift?

Scott, could you pm me your phone number please?
Deal is done! They also know the guy who makes the FJ40 bezel fairleads so they are going to send one of those too. Scott, I put both our names on the shipment, so Fedex will call me when they get it in. If I'm home I'll go get it, if not I will give you a call.
Well they don't have any rear bumpers yet, so I will still be getting one. The ARB bumper is being drop shipped from ARB directly. The rear bumper will come from Metaltech, so that is when we could save on the shipping.
* the rear bumper is made by metaltech*

Had a message yesterday, the bumper is at Fedex in lafayette. I'm still offshore but should be back by New year's day, and I can pick it up Jan 2nd. As much as I'd like to install it myself, i have only been home for 2 days in the last month, so I think I'm going to get B&M to do it. I talked to them, and they can do it in a morning, whereas I'd probably spend 12 hrs on it. I'll post up when it's on.
Good deal.. I'll be back on Sunday the 30th from Florida. If you can go get it fine.. if not, let me know and I'll see what I can do for you.
Let me know if you need some help getting to FedEx Freight... it's right by Paul Keggley's house and the power plant.

Thanks 
Is it a different place than the Fedex in the area between pinhook and hwy 90? I forget the road.

Depends where it went. Most large items would go to the Freight location on Walker Road. It's easy to find. You just need to call and see where your package is.
Lafayette - FedEx Freight
Good luck bud

Ok, it is at walker road. Just checked it on mapquest and that's a different location than the place I thought. Closer to the house actually. Thanks!

Not really 'Tech' but useful. Those big plastic campaign signs are nice to have around while wrenching.
The ones I got are corrugated so it adds a little insulation from the cold/hot ground and they are pretty heavy duty
I have another one cut out for the back of the Subaru, for when I'm hauling dirty, oily parts around.

I bet they'd make some handy drip pads if you glued or stapled some cloth over top.
