    I didn't ship it yet, but I got quotes for LTL pallet shipments. I use Grayhound Bus Lines a lot, and there's pallet shippers like Forward Air and freight brokers like Shipnex or uShip.

    Grayhound is the best way to ship rims. It's very cheap, you just have to pick up at your local bus station.

    Go sit in a Lexus ES300.

    I sat in a loooooooot of seats before I chose those ultimately. From Mercedes, to BMW, to Subaru, to Ford. Nothing beat those memory foam ES300 seats.

    Besides a 80's Cadillac DeVille bench seat, which is basically a bed.

    I’m really tempted to try and get a 4Runner awd transfer case and get it working in the taco.. awd and low high range 4wd in a high power Tacoma just makes me so happy. Lol

    My poor truck has been down for 2 years now. Sad thing is everyone that was following my build thread probably thinks it’ll never be done... I’m Litterally just tying to find a damn crate to ft all my engine stuff on to send to lce. Frame is one it’s way already (2-3 months probably) and the body work will be done when I get the engine back.

    That won't be cheap. Grayhound is only good for local-ish deals. Like Pheonix to San Francisco.

    You can try though: www.busfreighter.com

    It’s been replaced. But the jackass that did it ruined the current one.. I got Toyota to front half the bill on a new one I’ll put in

    New doors (fronts)
    New tailgate

    Nice. How did they mess it up?

    I was just reading through your build thread. What's the current status on it? That 3VZ crankshaft looked interesting. How is it different from the 5VZ?

    Grayhound works great for light-ish bulky items like tires and bodywork. My transmission is very small, but heavy and I got quoted like $200 to ship it to Minnesota through Grayhound.

    Forged crank. Much stronger. Can handle 7000rpms if I wanted or a lot of boost
