Road trip to CBI Offroad Fabrication, end of March

Hey North Westerners! I am taking a road trip down to CBI Offroad Fabrication in Idaho Falls, ID around the end of March. Exact date is TBD based on when my new skids are ready at CBI. I will have a utility trailer with me with extra room for some bulky goods such as skids, bumpers, Bengal Tigers, UFO's, etc. I will be traveling from Olympia, WA down through Oregon and into Idaho. Return trip will either be up through Montana or back through Oregon and into Washington. I am willing to transport some goods for folks there, back and anywhere in between. Hit me up if you have anything needing transported! Happy days.

 

How long are you expected to be gone? A week?

 

7 days total max. Probably more like 5-6 days.

 

I kinda wanna go

 

Let's stay in touch. The trip includes a stop in SLC to a relatives to grab a few tool boxes then up to my Mom's house for a day which is close to CBI.

 

I'm fully set up. Tent,camping gear and all. Combat showers is all I need

 

Very temping for me to order a CBI bumper, but prolly wouldn’t make the lead time for your travel dates.

That’s awesome of you to offer this TW express!!

 

I will be making another trip to Southern Idaho in early October also. So, I could bring back a few items then also. The second trip will just be in my Taco with 6' bed and canopy, no trailer. There would be room for a couple of bumpers.

I have been lurking on TacomaWorld for quite a while and I figure it is time to give a little back!

 

Awesome you're offering to help folks out but just heads up that for your October trip 6' bed with a canopy will fit 1 bumper. They're alot bulkier than you'd expect, especially packed up for transport.

It would suck for you to plan on carrying 3 people’s bumpers and realize there’s no way you’re fitting it all when you get there.

 

That would suck for sure! Anyone know packaged dimensions? Then I can make a call on how many units I could carry. I suspect I could carry 1 front and 1 rear bumper.

 

Just got to thinking that if there is quite a lot of interest with my offer it would not cost much to split the cost of an one way U-haul trailer rental. I am willing to hitch a trailer and drag it up to the PNW.

 

Here's a shot of my Moab 2.0 bumper when it showed up.

 

Cool, thanks for the photo! I am sure I could get a couple of those in the bed of my truck without the pallet.

 

Take some random blankets to layer between bumpers if they are powder coated and pack
Them in! Nice gesture! Safe travels!

 

you still going?

 

That's the plan! I will need to check with CBI about my order. I will send you a PM.

 

Yes. I cannot get a hold of them and ask about lead times I'd like to order a skid plate it says they're in stock on their website but who knows

 

Bumpy

So, my skids will be ready in a couple of weeks. I am looking at the first week of May for the trip. Hit me up if anyone needs anything transported!
