Re: Bahamas 79 Cherokee Chief build
I am sensing an epic EPIC EEEEEPPPPIIIICCCCC wheeling trip opportunity here!
How much did it cost to ship your Chero from Florida to the Bahamas one way?
Is there a discount for both ways?
Is there any discount for multiple vehicles going together?
How much does it cost to ship your Chero from one island to another?
Is there a discount for both ways?
Are there any height/width/length restrictions to this shipping arrangement?
Would you and your family be up to "guiding" (used roughly) a trip with a bunch of mainlander gringos?
Is there any discount for multiple vehicles going together?
Does the "importation" apply to vehicles that will permanently reside in the Bahamas or would they issue a "play visa" for temporary importation?
Are there any special permits that I might need to know about?
I don't care if gas is $30/gallon... that would be WAY mo betta than seeing the islands from a giganto cruise ship!
EDIT: I didn't read the whole thread.
Chero looks awesome!

Re: Bahamas 79 Cherokee Chief build
If you guys are really serious, this is something that can be done.
I can get the ministry of tourism involved.
My Wife and I have been taking the Defender or the Wrangler to the Islands for years and know quite a lot of folks that would want to make this happen.
I will get some prices and info together.
Where I work we are closely tied to the local shipping company so I am sure discounts could be worked for multiple vehicles.
Also, we are friends with the folks that own the local roll on roll off Ferry boat service, so again I am sure that discounts could be arranged.
I suggest if we are going to at least consider this that we start a special thread.
I and my wife would love to make this happen !

Hell yeah! I agree that it should be moved from your build thread... I put it in the "international" section of the board http://www.fsjnetwork.com/forum/viewtop ... 38&t=10079.uncletiffy wrote:If you guys are really serious, this is something that can be done.
