Hey Jo,
I'm planning on being in SD 7/15 - 7/16. Maybe if you can get the parts to Vegas and are willing to pay for a one way U-haul trailer ride (approx $50 to rent the trailer) I can bring it with me? I'm not worried about strain on the VX as the trailer would be practically empty.
Just trying to help ya out anyway I can! I'd hate to see you pay $$$$ for shipping if you don't have to.
