I think it would be cheaper to just for everyone to donate $5 towards things like this. In 4 hours of driving you will spend about $15 worth of gas that's for one person, so unless it's a big ass item I don't see why it wouldn't be cheaper to just ship it through FEDEX or something...

I ship stuff all over the states and two big ass packages, one 17lbs and another 15lbs, cost me $30 to ship from East coast(MD) to West coast (CA).

maybe for transporting a head, or driver side door or something....yeah.

gotta remember too, tibs don't have the greatest luggage space (for like an engine, front bumper, hood, etc.)

but, still good idea.

and if anyone says anything about fitting two full recliners in their tib and still having room for their subs....

Heads are not that big either, they might be heavy but would fit into a regular size box. Door is a different thing, but I still think it's going to be cheaper to just ship it through a big company.

I think OP's right, if we get like say 15 people to donate $10, there's an easy $150. $150 should ship most items. An engine is probably a different story, but I'm sure it's still easier/cheaper to do it that way than make 20 people spend $20 in gas and drive and load stuff in their cars.

are you serious...

where the hell are you driving? at WOT the whole time.

I drove to ABQ BBQ (5 1/2 hours) and didn't even use 3/4 of a tank.

Your gas mileage suxx bro, and I'm sorry for that. 02.gif
