Re: Shipping A Jeep
I'm surprised they let him. The military tells you to remove everything
with exception to emergency tools (jack, etc) and a car seat. That's it.
Everything else is supposed to be out. They know folks rip stuff off,
that's why they don't let you ship it.

Re: Shipping A Jeep
He made the mistake of renting a UHaul truck - I would far rather
trust a 20 year old Scout that I had been maintaining myself than one
of those but even that didn't prevent all the problems.
Part of the reason for the 3 day trip was that I blew a hole in a
piston driving into a 50 mph head wind coming across Nebraska. The
blowby into the crank case was pushing the oil out so fast I was
stopping more often for oil than gas. Went through Denver looking
like a mosquito fogger and that climb out of Denver over Monument Hill
was a real challenge on the 3 good cylinders. Thing was, I had just
finished defending my thesis and even with the problems it felt GOOD
to be out of that program doing something different.

Will Honea
trust a 20 year old Scout that I had been maintaining myself than one
of those but even that didn't prevent all the problems.
Part of the reason for the 3 day trip was that I blew a hole in a
piston driving into a 50 mph head wind coming across Nebraska. The
blowby into the crank case was pushing the oil out so fast I was
stopping more often for oil than gas. Went through Denver looking
like a mosquito fogger and that climb out of Denver over Monument Hill
was a real challenge on the 3 good cylinders. Thing was, I had just
finished defending my thesis and even with the problems it felt GOOD
to be out of that program doing something different.

I've used Car-Go-Ship.com and was very pleased with the results and the
price as well. They're a broker, but when you tell them you are shipping
a car they only set you up with a car hauler. The price was also very
low despite getting a great shipper who gave new meaning to Customer
Service.
My 50 ****** Wagon was shipped via Car-go-ship.com from Colorado to
Wisconsin for only $550 and it didn't even run. That price included the
extra cost of loading a vehicle that can't move under it's own power.
This was ~2-1/2 years ago.
