74 hours of driving in 5 days? So ~15 hours a day? OOF.

I've driven to Vermonth and New Hampshire, on separate occasions, so this trip isn't too out of line for me.

I would build a material rack for the Dodge and bring the frame back home on that.

5091 miles Google says. Yeah, it would be rough. I had an offer for someone to go with me. If he goes, it will make the trip a lot easier, and going out we could drive ~22 hours a day figuring in for food and nature breaks. If I go solo it will be more difficult since I will probably bring the dog too. The seat in the Dodge is a bench, so I can sleep in the cab.

I don't know what white crosses are, but I am assuming some sort of drug or caffeine pill.

Why don't you check around on those shipping websites? That's what Jeff did to get his boat from AZ to NJ

The seller has shipped stuff, but says he hasn't really made any headway on shipping it.
Plus it is a journey

Yeah, it will cost me less to go get it by myself. That's why I am not really worried about going, ~$2500 or $1200 or less depending on which vehicle I take.....

I am not really worried about it. It would have to be less than $0.40 a mile to make it worth it
