Giant robot needs ride to the "Future"

Post by brc-fun » Wed Jun 14, 2006 8:53 pm

I'm in the process of building a non-street-legal mutant vehicle for BM 06, and realized that my non-mutant vehcile can't tow it! The base weighs 9,200 pounds, and my non-mutant vehicle can only tow about 3,000 pounds...

The mutant vehicle is a giant 1950s toy robot built on a scissor-lift base.
It can raise the driver and passengers to 40 feet in the air!
Here's the web-site for my proposal:

It will cost about $1000 to ship it each way.
It's located south of Portland Oregon.
I will share it (50/50 playa time) with anyone who can get it to Black Rock City.
Can anyone in Portland, Seattle, or Vancouver help?!?!

Thank you in advance,
Happiness is air presure on the playa,

P.S. I'll pay for half the fuel.

P.S. I'll pay for half the fuel both to get there and back as well as there.

Man... If I were anywhere near I'd help you out just to get to play with the robot's voice box.

Great freakin' job!!

Just to clarify...

I'm not asking for money; Gigantor needs a truck that can haul at least 4.6 tons (best located in the Pacific Northwest).

Thanx in advance,

BRC,
Just took a look at your web. Awesome. I will send some positive vibes your way. Good luck. I know you will recieve what you need. I'm too far away at the moment.

See you soon!

Larry thinks anyone with a dualie fifth-wheel pick-up and a car-hauler dual-axle trailer would be able to help you. We want to help, but all we have is knowledge, not resources. Sorry. It just sounds so very, very cool.

My brothers collected 50's tin robots, I adore them.

Anti M's got it right. I'd tow it with my F250 diesel (without dualies, but that just makes towing more luxurious), but I'm way out of the way.

Look for a local burner with a diesel truck and you'll be golden.

It looks to be really impressive, I hope you get it there!
