ANYWAY
called him to see what his price is for the LBJ "KIT" and after looking it up he saw that it was at one time part of a recall kit and therfore can not sell it to the public. ( He says) Of course he wanted to sell me them individually for more money. 160 each. I think that is full list. McGeorge is 106 each and 100 to ship the pair to alaska, so even that would be cheaper. so Id save 8 bucks, but...screw the local and their attitude.
I passed on the local.
Maybe aryana is cheaper shipping to alaska, only used them one time when I lived in Oregon. Man at times I really miss living in the lower 48

Depending on the size of the parts you are buying, if you have someone in the lower 48 you can have something shipped to, and they will repack it in a USPS flat rate box, even the large flat rate box (12.25"x12.25".6") is only $21.10 to get anywhere in the US. It will obviously take longer, and will only work for smaller parts, and requires someone willing to deal with repackaging in a flat rate box (Though I believe that at least some of the stuff I have bought from McGeorge has actually been sent USPS flat rate), but it should be cheaper.
