:-laf :-laf I'm easily distracted by shiny objects. I think that I like the hunt for a new car and the build up better than actually driving them. I no longer have an accurate count but by my estimate I'm fast approaching 50 vehicles that I've owned over the last 20 years.



I have similar problems with my wife. Why do you think I need to sell the crew?? Need to make some space for the next one [offroad rockcrawling toy this time ]



Anyway... . I already have two fish on the line... errrr... potential buyers I hope to see the crew go to a good 1st genner home.

Well if you looked up compulsive auto builder's disorder in the dictonary then you'd see me. At 34 I'm pushing over 65 semi built to never finished and even a couple of thank God that one's finished so I can start on these 3 :-laf. Heck I build stuff just to build it. I completely know what your talking about. I've got soo many irons in the fire that I'm gonna have to start another fire. But a guy can NEVER have too many vehicles! Good luck with the sale.

Donald-



I recently sold my lifted XJ Cherokee on E-bay. I used a company called DAC (Dependable Auto Carriers). They sucessfully shipped it from Colorado to Tennessee. I was a little concerned because the Jeep was 7' tall and riding on 35" tires and they have a 7' height limit. The buyer paid ~$600 for the transport. Absolutely NO spare parts were allowed to be sent with the vehicle, which was a bummer. I dropped it off at a towing company in Denver that DAC uses as a shipping agent, and the buyer picked it up at a similar terminal close to his house. They also offered door to door shipping, but that was spendy. I'd never shipped a vehicle before so I was a bit nervous, but it all worked out well.

Hahahaha, that's great. There should be a support group for people like us. Wait... . I think that we may already be here! :-laf



Jeff,

Thanks for the tip on the shipper. The WI buyer has reconsidered, and the other person is more local so I may not need the shipping after all, but I will keep the info in case. I haven't measured but I'm thinking that the truck is over 7' tall and well over 20' long. I figure that the size is going to be a deal breaker on shipping.
