- February 17, 2013, 22:39:58 PMHey 49..I live in NY,,,10940.I haven't broken down the assembly of the pipes just ,yet.I've honestly been busy between shopping for the upgrade of my sons room and working on my drifter.My sons going through the transition of the kiddie room to the "Big Boy room" as my wife and I call it...lol.You know he has to have a longer,taller dresser w/mirror,tv has to go from the tv stand to flat screen on the wall etc.,etc.It's tough being a 6 yr. old now a days.Anyway's my plans are to start breaking the exhaust down tomorrow at some point.Then I'll get shipping materials for packaging purposes and so on.My plan is to have this completed and ready to be shipped by the end of this month.I'll pm you to work out the details and such when this is completed and NTL gives me the go ahead.Thanks for your help on this 49....it is greatly appreciated....

- February 17, 2013, 22:12:16 PMHi, Drift1; 49Reo (Fred) here. If you disassembled the exhaust system, would it be cheaper to ship to Montana 59870 zip? That is my fathers place; I had a set of V&H Longshots shipped there last year, wasn't too bad by UPS (can't remember exactly how much, but not too terrible) I realize the stock setup weighs quite a bit more, so maybe that would tip the scales towards the poorhouse a bit. Where abouts are you located? Just want to see if any of my other out(in)laws live around there, where if one of them is going to be headed towards Montana we could lower the shipping costs.
Regards,
49Reo
P.S. PM me if you don't want to divulge your whereabouts where Ratman can find them.....lol

- February 17, 2013, 20:40:58 PMI use the bus regular to send stuff to my sister about 5 hours south of here.....take s2 days or over nite.....cost is by the size of the item and the weight. Not sure of the charges down there.....

- February 17, 2013, 20:32:55 PMI know 49 has volunteered his help with the transportation on the movement for the exhaust for NTL,but I was just wondering has anyone used a bus company for doing this.If so how does this work?I mean what do they charge you...a regular bus ticket just like you were taking a fare.Just curious on this.

- February 12, 2013, 23:34:04 PMQuote from: ChilliDrift on February 11, 2013, 16:17:18 PMNAFTA actually saved me $7000.00 back in 1994...I was living in CT and wanted a Jeep...research showed them selling for same price in Nova Scotia as in CT...$21,000...BUT at that time exchange was 33% in favor of American dollar...so I took $14,000 north and returned with a brand new Jeep. No duties, no taxes at the border.The only people who benefitted from that was the folks who closed their factories and moved them south.

I will get Drifter1 to connect with you and ship it Montana bound. Date and time wise doesn't matter to me so when ever your visiting in spring I can connect with you on the Canadian side. .... So im in no rush. I'll drive my car, so I can pack it back..... Nothing like an adventure and a good story right!
I appreciate everyone's help
Cheers NTL
Sounds good, NTL. Talk to you later.

- February 11, 2013, 10:19:22 AMNot at all, NTL Glad to help out If you guys can get it to Montana, to my fathers place I will brig it back when I go down to see him in the spring. Only thing I can't guarantee is when I will be going down to see him. If you are not in a rush, we can make it work. Just let me know, so I can tell him to expect a package. We do this quite often, mostly for myself, but last year he fielded a package for Drifter Paul in Australia; he was trying to get a seat for his Drifter shipped over, but the seller refused to sell to anyone outside the USA. So, he shipped it to my fathers place, he in turn shipped it to Australia. DP sent me the postage cost and I kicked it down to Dad's. All works out, a little convoluted, but it works.

- February 10, 2013, 21:30:02 PMok got to ask are you going to ride your Drifter there? I had to google White Rock, it was farther west then I thought to Canbrook is going to be a decent run for you. Best of luck and hope you are getting better.
