I think you're exaggerating just a tad lol. Nothing going on upstairs except maybe that flatbed.

Drivers side done. Shipping them out Monday morning. Be glad when I can put mine back together and enjoy riding it for a change. Hate to say it, but getting little weary of making stuff. Time for a break.

Just get out there and ride D.

Bed is back on (took almost 10 minutes). Riding is exactly what I plan on doing.

Looks like my deal for those shocks is off at the moment. Can't see paying 291 bucks for shipping lol. May have to revaluate the design and leave off the support tube/mount at the rear. It really isn't needed but I like to play it safe. Opinions?? Nobody else uses this so obviously it'd be strong enough without it. And it'd bring shipping down to a decent amount.
Way it is now..

Where do you have to ship it too?
Look into ride sharing services maybe?

 

[Delton]

New style.

Michigan from middle tn. Check out pic of new style. It's still bolted to rectangular frame with 2 bolts each side. Seriously doubt anyone could break that.

For something this bulky you may want to try Greyhound. I have had some success with them on some things bigger than that even. Shipped an antique chair cross country for about $100

Thought of that too but only station within an hour of here closed down few years ago. Sometimes small town living sucks.

Dude agreed to new style. 20 minutes later and 66 bucks shipping, they are on their way to Michigan. Glad it all worked out. Looking forward to putting those shocks on the back. Gonna order some from 814 for the front sometime in July.
