man, i can only imagine how your going to feel when it finally arrives. Your going to be doing back flips and all.

[Canadian694x4]

I"m happy for ya man...glad to hear about the shipping progress!

[Randy70C-10]

Wow, looks like everything up to this point was done up right. Very nice!

[LUV2XCLR8]

YEH RANDY, IT LOOKS PRETTY GOOD, NOT SURE WHY HE PUT THE DASH
BACK TOGETHER WHEN THE VEHICLE STILL NEEDS PAINT, MAYBE HE WAS
GOING TO TAPE ALL OF THAT OFF BEFORE HE SHOT IT, I AM NOT SURE
WHAT I AM GOING TO DO FIRST, I MEAN SECOND, FIRST I AM GOING TO
UNPACK IT, TOOK 3 GUYS A WEEKEND TO PACK EVERYTHING IN IT.

Congrats Luv!
Sounds like you better rest up while that Blazer is on the road....because once it gets there you won't be sleeping!!

[stickshift_or_walk]

I can hear it now. "No Honey, it's not really that crazy an idea. Just because the truck is halfway across the country, that's no reason to count it out. I've seen guys get trucks shipped all the way from California to Tennessee, with no problems. All you have to do is find a shipping company . . . "

Congrats LUV, keep the faith . . . SSOW

[A few 72's]

Glad to hear it the it is on the way to to Tenn.

You know its kinda funny at least it is to me,I see Great stuff posted on the board for sale all the time, and it never fells you have the man thats a great deal but just to far comments,I guess I look at it this way,if its great deal and you have the cash to pay for it,the logistics can be worked out,or make it a road trip.Anyway glad to hear that there are others out there who wont let a few thousand miles get in the way of getting what they want.Way to go.Congradulations on your new ride. The old saying is true those who try get it and those who sit just spit it.

Congrats!!! I bet you are counting the hours, seconds, mili-seconds, etc. I think I have the boss convinced to head to Memphis area after we get done with Omaha, then St. Louis and Kansas City. They can have all the broke folks in Memphis, I want to work Jackson Then I'll be able to see your ranch and new Blazer

[vtblazer]

LUV, despite all the hassle's I still think you made the right decision to get the cali blazer in the long run (OK,really long shipping run) your saving time and money going this way.
In the end your still getting a smokin' deal on a sweet blazer!!

[72gord]

Hey Luv congrats on getting it headed your way, one question though, in your opinion; after what it took to get it shipped, do you think you could have went out and picked it up with a pick up and trailer for close to the same $? Just wondering for future reference...see a lot of nice rigs on here for sale on the west coast and was wondering about shipping cost verses a road trip to get one yourself. Good luck with the new Blazer, sure looks like a good one. Gord

[Yukon Jack]

Keep us posted, I can't wait for it to be in your hands!

[bouncytruck]

I'm glad it is finally on it's way. What's the arrival ETA?

The dash looks like it is painted to me. Maybe he already shot that? Either way, that is a clean rig.

[Bamm]

If it's not prying, what did it cost to get it transported across the country? Just curious........Jerry

[LUV2XCLR8]

I Will Try To Answer All The Questions That I Can, I Could Not Use
A "friends" Trailer To Haul It Back, I Have A 99 4wd Trailblazer That
The Wife Drives And It Barely Pulls Dads Bass Boat, Bouncy, The
Dash Has Already Been Painted, Not Sure Why He Did, Shipping Was
High, $1800.00, But That Is For A 300k + Nascar Style Transport Co.
And It Is Shipped Door To Door Inclosed, Not Open, $950.00 Is Price
I Was Quoted For Open, My Neighbors Are Gonna Freak When That
Big Ass Semi Rolls Up Out Here In The Country, Dtilly, Anytime U
Are Passing Through You Can Stay At The Ranch, Ha Ha Ha, I Love
Company, That Is Why I Tried To Do A Cookout, Didn't Work I Must
Not Be Popular Enough Yet, Eta Is 7-10 Days Or This Coming Sunday,
Monday, Tuesday, Or Wednesday. And Now For The Only Problem,
This Is The Story I Got From Joseph On The Phone About Loading It;

They Showed Up At 5:45 Pm Sunday Night To Pick It Up, Storage Was
Already Closed So They Had To Contact Someone To Unlock Main
Gate For Them To Have Access, He Said They Kind Of Freaked When
He Drove It Out There, Even With A 4/6 Lift And 35" Tires She Is 90"
Tall With The Top On, According To Joe, They Had To Rearrange All
The Cars On The Trailer To Fit It In Their, It Holds 6 At A Time, And
The Ramp Was Broke So They Had To Climb It Up On The 18" High Trl.,
On Top Of That They Had To Flatten All Of The Tires To Pull It In
The Rest Of The Way, He Said There Is A Jaguar Speedster Sitting
Directly Above It And There Is Like 1" Between Em, Hopefully By The
Time It Gets Here Some Of Those Cars Are Off Of There, If Not It
Will Surely Make For Some Good Photos, I Can't Wait To Get It.

[Joesjunk]

Glad to see someone finally got that Blazer. I think it was a very good buy. Looked to be a very nice Blazer. Congrats, And good luck with you new project!!

[71 Blazer CST man]

Wish i rememberd the name of the guy that shipped my dads 53 3100 from New Jersey to here in North Cal. It was in a covered gooseneck/5th wheel trailer, carried 3 cars. The guy hauled it with a 3500(?) V6 diesel Ram. We got it shipped for around a grand($1k) i think, door to door in....under a week...

I think that price had alot to do with the EAST to WEST thing, i think there alot more full trailers going East...and alot more empty spots going WEST. He was private (hauled alot of jay lenos rides)and on his way home to cal. We got his 3rd and final spot on the trailer. He usually did $100K+++ rides...our 53 was peanuts compared!!! I think there were 2 porsches infront of it. To top it all off though, My dads company was the reason we moved(wine bus.) and they payyed for 1 car to be shipped, the 53!!!! We drove 1 and sold a BMW we had. Heh heh. Wow long time ago.


But hey luv, i hope you're gettin in some rest tonight, Tomorrow AM when ur posting pics, you should be a REAL excited, happy camper!

[Blue Beard]

Congrats on the purchase.....Its 3:35 am where's she at now...?

Which transport company did you use?
