Being that I'm not going to have the GB open for a month or something, I'll probably take deposits of $100 per item during the 2 weeks the GB is open, then the rest would have to be paid in the next month or so after ordering stops, before the stuff ships... I understand that people may need a paycheck or 3 to siphon that kind of money off for this kind of stuff...

What would shipping COST/TIME be to TORONTO , ONTARIO, CANADA?
And about how much would the rad skid, and the bumper together cost during the GB?

I don't know about Canada... UPS and Fedex are pretty crazy, I think, but USPS may be crazy based on size, alone...
Without a zip code, I just did: M4E 2V8
Rough quotes for shipping to you are on the crazy side... $125 for the rad skid and $180 for the bumper... I can ship both to the east coast of the US (Md 20774, specifically) for $160... It may be worth your while for me to ship them to a member here, and you stop there on the way to TECORE or something, and do the install in their driveway...

I might be in a position to get in on this GB, Mario. We might be able to split freight.....

2 bumpers and 2 rad skids on a single skid (truck shipped, so you will need to be able to accept at work or something) should save you guys come coin!
(prices in posts above are for box shipping individually, to one's home)

Sweet jezzzusss! thats almost $300 in shipping.
Ok im gona think on things logistically for a bit.
If I do end up shipping to toronto, Id have it shipped to my office at the film studio on a pallet. so that may save some money instead of individually boxing up the parts.

It'll probably save you some money, but anything involving international shipment is going to be $$... Hell, you could drive to my house on a weekend and have me install them (free) for less than shipping... (Well, you're looking at $200 in gas, round trip to my house, considering 18mpg and $3/gal gas (It's about $2.60 now))
Or you could give Mario the $100 to get his shipped, and I could bring yours to TECORE (he already called dibs)...
Or somebody else coming through Indy for TECORE could take them to you at TECORE...
Lots of options here, but I can only take 1 bumper/rad skid because the wife and I are going to be on vacation the week before TECORE, and have to be packed for a week of vacation, as well as camping/wheelin'...
All stuff that can be sorted out via PM... Worst case, We can get it to TECORE, somehow, even if means you shoot me some coin for the PITA of strapping it to the roof for travel, then hauling it into my condo for the week, etc...

Mike, perhaps I missed it... how far apart are the shackle brackets? I'm trying to see if I can hack up a grille guard in order to weld the push bar portion to the bumper... or if I'd be better off with having the push bar portion made from scratch.

I don't remember, to tell you the truth... 24" center to center sounds right, but I'll measure when I get home...

Unless something changes... I've already made arrangements with Mike for him to deliver my bumper and rad skid at TECORE... which will be coming up in the next couple of months... JD? Thread? The items will be taking up precious space in Mike's truck during his vacation, so I will be compensating him for his inconvenience...

The mounts on this bumper are 22" ID... can go a little farther out, but not a whole lot, because of the frame...
For reference, I can fit however much on a skid as is needed... skid just gets stacked or gets bigger... no big few, and is preferable.
Yep, Mario's got dibs on trailblazer space on my vaction...

Yeah, there should be... Talking about late October, but James needed to make sure those dates worked...
Once he knows the dates, 100%, then I can plan my vacation.
I'd expect him to post about it, soon...

The shackle mounts were originally done for me to add a brushguard to it, but we took some liberties with the last couple for what we thought right. I have a brushguard Mike can measure and work to accordingly if ya'll are nice to him. Tecore shipping colud be cheap if you cover part of my gas... I will strap shit everywhere to hook ya'll up.
they've always worked for me.

Depending on how my current plans develop, I may have to take you up on that.
