Rob, I agree!!! A jeep maybe, a CMP no. It has a 101" wheel base and would want to jack knife all the time.
A friend of mine (a biker type, shipyard welder, and former B-52 crew chief) has a biker friend that bought a truck and trailer to haul rebar (does road construction/bridges) but he recently found out he has six months to live because of cancer. I am going to try to explore borrowing it, seems so sad though, "Since you're dying can I borrow your rig?"
It would probably make it easier to have on the US side for a hauling company, but I do not know where I would get to over the boarder or how much it will exactly save. Good thought.

I used to regularily tow my first Cab11 15cwt back and forth to the shop with a CJ7 (360 engine so power wasn't a problem) and it was usually pretty hairy. Problem is the 15cwt will go where it wants to and it'll take you with it.
So your choices are to either flatbed it or borrow a larger truck from someone.
Derk is fairly close to the US border. Would it get cheaper if the truck was on the other side of the line?
