I like so agree with BK.   It's "California"
and what ticks me is the shortened version of "distributor".   I'm not even going to type it.

towing that promo to the Midwest with a Wrangler doesn't sound like much of a fun trip to me....   Driving a vehicle that tracks like a drunk squirrel with the aerodynamics of an outhouse, and all that fun with 3K pounds of boat and trailer pushing you around....   yikes.    I think I'd stick to the having someone with a truck pull it for you.

Now I know there are at least 2 of us.

So.... "gas" or fuel? which do you buy for your boat?    I did see some 9.9hp Lehr outboards that ran on gas.

You may be right. I don't know. But the boat and trailer are pretty light. As they say, did not notice it behind my truck.

Ummm, the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is actually the largest vehicle Jeep makes with a 4" longer wheel base then a Grand Cherokee, and at 4400 lbs is also the heaviest Jeep. This is only 100lbs lighter then some of the Toyota Tacoma's and the Jeeps 116" wheel base is just 10" shorter.

I agree it has the wind profile of a bread truck, but it probably drives a lot better then my current Jeep Liberty, which is only 106" wheelbase, I use that to pull my 98 sport which is a lot bigger/heavier then a 72 promo... Gotta remember the unlimited is the 4 door wrangler, its a big vehicle...

This thread is serving big deal boziel's transport better than the one he made.

Can we get a ruling on "carby"?

skutsch, I thought you were thinking of this until you mentioned long and heavy. Still a "Jeep Wrangler Unlimited" is it not?

Pretty tough to argue a picture and with Wikipedia... I think there was some confusion at Jeep on what they were naming what... From about 2007 on, the 4 door Jeep Wranglers with 4 doors all got the "Wrangler Unlimited" tag, and I believe the 2 door versions were labeled "Wrangler X". However, I have seen some "Wrangler Unlimited X" with 4 doors. And then of course, Jeep has gone nuts with all the different packages, Generally, "Sport," "Sahara," and "Rubicon" are the standard, but I have seen "Black Ops," "Islander," "Willys,""Monster," cripes they even have some named for video games (can't remember which one...)

So yes, I am looking for a 4 door version and since, I will be the one living closest to this new found promo and probably end up doing most of the work for Boziel, I figure I can threadjack his thread all day long HA!

Almost 10 years John. I bought that boat when my daughter was 3 months old. She will turn 10 in November.

Haven't done any serious work on the project in 4 or 5 years.

That's at least as bad as dizzy but if you're a real genuine Aussie then it's OK to say dizzy and carby

That's how I see it, then again I'm just not normal anyways

Well the U-ship progress has slowed. I was making some nice progress when bids were starting at $2800. Within a few days, they came down to $850 and then som dudes started getting into a semantic debate over west coast fuel prices. Then they wanted me to show my cards and "name my bottom line". I didn't think that was a good idea because it defeats the purpose for bidding in the first place. Since then, bidding has stalled and I only get the occasional $2000k+ offer.

I'm thinking about restarting with a clean slate. If that doesn't work, it might be time for a road trip.

Hey buddy, was talking to one of my friends who does transportation for a living and recommended http://www.centraldispatch.com. I asked him to do it but he only does local state deliveries. Hope it works out for you.

Chris - we had a similar experience with uShip. As Tim said before the biggest key is to be patient....I believe we allowed a 4-5 week window for delivery. We started at $1,800-$2,000 and ended up just over $500 Scottsdale to Des Moines. IMHO - $850 isn't too bad considering it's coming from southern CA. Keep waiting and you might get below $850.

Several haulers ask for our bottom dollar and other random questions. I chose to ignore all those questions and let them bid with the information I gave in the description. Seemed to work well as most quality outfits don't need the basic information and are too busy working to chat on the inter webs.

Good luck! Hopefully it works out!

The boat is actually in Northern California Chris. 100-150 miles further to Milwaukee than from Southern California.

Makes a lot more sense, I was thinking you were talking about the 2 door version also.   in my few experiences with the 2 door version (lifted, big tires, etc.)   They were fantastic for trails, but they were a pain to keep pointed in the right direction on the highway.   Since BKH is in Northern California, Something in Oregon might make sense as well.   They don't have sales tax, so it might save you some pennies at a dealer if that is the route you are planning to take.   Not likely going to save anything with a private party since you won't be doing the title transfer in California.

I'm excited to see progress on this machine, super cool that you have been able to make it work so far.

Yes, but they will nail you for sales tax when it's registered in Wisconsin.

I think you missed my point Pete,    I realize that sales tax is a burden that must be bourn when he registers in Wisconsin...   If a dealer is involved, I was thinking that they likely can't register the new Jeep in Wisconsin for him, but might have a sales tax fee for California, or a dealer paperwork fee, or however they choose to stick it to you.     Oregon is maybe different since there isn't a state sales tax involved.     My point in the end is that Northern California isn't the only place to get a clean rust free Jeep.   If the price is better in Oregon, its not far to drive to CA.

You guys are all on the right track, again I reiterate, I'm king cheap a$$! My wifes cousin who owns a Ford dealership will purchase it wholesale, I will be the "delivery agent" who will deliver it back to his dealership. At that point, I will trade my current Jeep liberty, thereby minimizing my tax burden. This of course is all predicated on me finding something that half the dealers in north America haven't decided they also want...
