Just got in from work. OMG those are hot DDays! Unfortunately 5x5?
San Diego, it's pouring right now but they look like this:
The worst of which is now on the driver front after pinning it against a rock face slipping down a waterfall....
On another note:
Ok, so here's what I came up with:
For me to act as a middleman (Called a Call Tag if it matters to anyone) & have UPS pick up 5 boxes @ 43# ea. from Buster in MD and deliver to Granite in Co, it would be $54.10 per wheel.
For me to ship direct to Granite from my warehouse in Pittsburgh would only be $39.36 per wheel. I don't have the ability to do a true cost on what it would be to ship from MD. to CO. direct as I have to be the originating
shipper to see true costs. It should be fairly close though. Anything over I would say $40 and that's all "handling fees".
Buster, when & where in PA do you travel to? I get to Cumberland several times a year but you're way the hell down the state from there.
While I don't get through Pittsburgh, I head up to Tremont frequenly for Pine Grove for Rausch Creek and AOAA frequenlty. I've been meaning to make it to Westchester for a Quadratec Jeeps and Java day and could use this as an excuse. I do have quite a bit of friends from PA, and can probably get them relatively close to Pittsburgh within a few weeks using friends from work.
And last but certainly not least:
It's really sweet of you guys to try and work this out for me, but at this point I think I just got to call like it is: out of my price range. Those bead locks are beautiful and I'm sure you can find someone who will pay $1800 for them but I just can't swing that this year. I'm more in the $800-1000 price range for some used Chamber Pros or KMC Machetes. I really appreciate the effort though guys. Means a lot that you were trying to make it work.
I understand completely.
I know it's a stretch, but I'd really like to see a WoLer that really wants them get them. If you change your mind and can swing it, I'd work with DDays and find a way to get them to him in PA. If shipping ended up at ~$40 a wheel, I'd even split shipping with you in the middle. I don't know if Steve at Dynatrac will take someone else's credit card for a partial axle payment, but I could always ask. I'm sure I'll sell them local to someone with green paper bills who tries to explain to me that they really don't want them, so I should take less. I'd much rather find a way to put them in the hands of a WoLer that really wants them and will use them.
No pressure, and no guarantees, but I'd be willing to try and work it further.
olllllllo
