yea i took the 6 oclock bus to caldera paid the customs warehouse for storage while customs took their sweet time to tell me what i owed them and then paid the trucker to move them home
turns out all three trucks only paid about $1300 in taxes but the customs agent took me for $750 for the paper work, state side they only charge me $300
they put a forklift on each side per truck lifed em up and the trucker backed the trailer under them and chained em down
i rode shotgun from the port to home where i had a questionable back hoe waiting to unload them, first he tried to pick them up with the back hoe bucket but could not budge them
finally we picked the rear up with the shovel and the truck pulled up till the front tires were now at the rear and he set the rear on the ground and then picked up the front and the truck pulled away and we set the front on the ground, the drive shaft to the offset pumpkin came apart but that was the only problem, but not really a problem but only happenend on one the other came off like a piece of cake
then we pushed them in their hanger and buttomed in their hanger
macho came over and gave em a gander and said looked like all we needed was a battery
