Ideally I'd get John's 2 sets of gears here at my place so I can ship them off. Or I have a small pallet size crate (with 2 sets of gears already in it) that could go to John's and he could ship them.
Each gear set weighs something less than 100 lb and about the size of a large watermelon, not any trouble to put in the trunk or back seat of a car.
I'd be happy to meet somewhere an hour or two from home to facilitate the exchange. Or this could be done in stages, a parts relay.
Thanks,
Grigg

Just an idea.

Today or Monday works, I will be at a family party Saturday. I was planning to come over this morning to drop my parts off at Wagners, but work is getting in the way.
Lets do a swap!

If Fastenal is going to be open tomorrow I'll bring trailer and crate to drop off full of diffs after lunch.
If they won't be open i'd like to slide crate of 2 diffs (how long?) and winch in the car, no trailer. If won't fit I better bring the trailer... | | | | | Joined: Aug 2004 Posts: 1,418 ODSS Lawman | | ODSS Lawman Joined: Aug 2004 Posts: 1,418 | Confirmed dimensions:

This visit to DB was quite different. First of all it was 20 degrees outside plus windchill, so no cornhole or outdoor activities.
Mr. President and I sat down at the bar and minutes later Grigg arrives. We grab a table and have a great lunch with DB's best to wash it down.
Finished lunch and placed the cargo in its rightful crate for shipping.
Relay complete.....

I dropped off the crate at Fastenal and the last leg of the relay will be under way any time now, headed back to Oklahoma.
Thanks again guys, and great to see y'all!
