Looking for some recommendations and or ideas of how to get a large (2k lbs or more) toolbox from New Jersey to Mars Hill area.
 
Trailer
Or truck with lift gate

Anything other than a trailer is going to be pretty pricey. You could ship it ltl with a company that offers lift gate service but it would still need to be forkliftable.
 
Be ready to pay though. I paid $1000 week before last to get 500lbs from long island to NC

Ha, mine was dedicated and time sensitive.

2 specialty (Big) bearings from Long Island (add 25% because LI). I had to have them or production stopped. Was well worth the cost.
 
The only "rush" would be pickup. Doesn't matter if it takes a week to arrive. Looks like I can purchase a trailer for $1,600 that would carry it but towing with a Jeep JL might not be a lot of fun.
 
If you can get it on a pallet and to an estes terminal give them a call. Book rate is stupid for ltl. I pay way way less for daily shipments. Fwiw, if anyone local to me (selma nc) needs something big shipped, shoot me a pm. I can run it through my acct and get you a deal if you can get it to my location for pickup.
 
Fuck Estes.

They still have one engine I shipped that they damaged and didn’t reimburse me for nor delivered.
 
Does the toolbox have wheels on it? :D
 
26’ box truck with lift gate. Move it and many other things at the same time, and put your Jeep in a trailer. All in one shot.

Fixed it for you! :lol:
The only 2 real issues: ramps to load/unload the Jeep and zero provisions for strapping the Jeep down

Ramps?
Its a Jeep right?

Oh yeah, He will need ramps
 
I used a 26’ Penske when I moved from NC to La. I loaded my HD RoadHlide in the back at the local tractor supply loading dock.
Edit: don’t get a Penske. That thing was a detuned TURD!!

While I have firsthand knowledge of loading a SWB Jeep into a truck via the liftgate... good luck pulling that off with the UN-lifted 110"+ wheelbase the OP stated :D

Where a fixed load ramp/dock will make it a <5 minute job at each end...
