thisismatt Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 All that? Pfft. I flew up to Portland to buy my 521 from h2theizzo and drove it back with a few sockets, screwdriver, and frequent stops at autoparts stores and an oil change in the walmart parking lot :P Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Christ, i bring some wrenches, and screw drivers. when im there i see what it may need, like a belt or a hose and pick that up along the way. Why don't you just bring your garage? haha... Anymore i just pay 50 bucks for a trailer from uhaul, then i dont worry about anything Quote Link to comment

bilzbobaggins Posted May 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Yeah. Its a 78kc. If its a rust bucket or otherwise poor, just get the motor for my 521. But then again, I could have my 521 for riding low and my 620 for drinking in the woods! But only do three times a year. Im stoked. jeff Quote Link to comment

MikeRL411 Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Definitly the knife. The one thing you missed in the first post. You can rent a towing trailer one way from U-Haul when you get there as a backup. Quote Link to comment

ggzilla Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 It's a Datsun ... when I bought my pickup I brought a reversible screwdriver, a 10mm combo wrench and 12mm combo wrench. The drive home was only 996 miles. Quote Link to comment
Z chopper Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 along with duct tape, a magazine of boobies, a sense of humour, a hottie with nice boobies to flag down help (maybe 2 hotties, can never have enough boobies), a cell phone and everything the others have suggested. Quote Link to comment
