| Post subject: | Moving Bronco - need a bit of help |
So i made a deal with the devil and will be taking the truck into the blasters on thursday evening. However as many of you know its a rolling chassis without brakes or steering and I will need to get it on a trailer of some kind to get it and all the parts to blastech. I haven't ruled out hiring a flatbed, however I do have access to a large pickup so was thinking of renting a uhaul trailer or borrowing one so i can get the bronco and all the pieces over to the blaster. whatever was the cheaper option.. believe me the blaster is only the beginning ;) Anyway long story short would anyone be available on thursday sometime to help me load up the bronco to get it over to the blasters? I will have it ready to go by thursday noon, they are expecting it by close of business - i could do it fri as well however the forecast calls for rain.. shouldn't take too long.. maybe 30 min? |

We rented one of the car dollies to bring Drews home. Worked great and only cost $50. I dont know about my availability to help but thought I would toss that out for you. If I am free when you are loading, I will be glad to come over and help. |

looks like we are doing this at 2pm on thursday if anyone is around. Like i said shouldn't take too long but will probably need a bit of a hand to get it out of the garage and lined up with the trailer as obviously it has no brakes or steering wheel and i live on an incline/decline? anyway if you can make it please PM me. My address is in the members section! Thanks! |

Would one of you fine gentleman have an extra steering setup? the one i have is garbage.. I can't even get a castle nut on the TRE's and one of them doesn't even have a hole in it for a cotter pin.. not sure whats going on with them but the set iam trying to use sucks trying to get it secure enough to roll around on.. If not Iam sure i can figure something out.. |

I've also got a spare if Dan's doesn't work for some reason. It's shot, but it'll work for what you need. |

Sweet! Nice to see that you were able to put things together to do everything now instead of down the road. |
