Roll Cage has Arrived

Two days after I placed an order for a new bolt-in cage from Kirk Racing, I found a user Autopower 6-point cage on Craigslist. The only problem - it was in Philadelphia. After a briefly considering making a road trip to Philly with Patrick, we concluded that shipping it was the best route. As luck would have it, the seller, Kyle, was more than willing to help us figure out how to get the cage freighted down.

Kirk Racing had not started building our cage yet, so I canceled the order. I contacted Freightquote.com and was quoted $130 to ship. With that, the total cost was still considerably cheaper than the new one from Kirk. Again, Kyle was extremely helpful on his end in getting the cage strapped to a pallet and prepared for shipment from the loading dock at his company. Freightquote.com made sure I had everything I needed to make the shipment go. Patrick assured me that we could have the pallet delivered to the loading dock at his office. With that, we were all set. The cage was picked up on Monday afternoon and delivered to us on Tuesday afternoon.

Here's Patrick with the cage.
