driving a jeep 2400 miles will be expensive too lol. I would bet 600 in gas alone.

Had one the exhaust fell off , another was a diesel and I had to change fuel filters on side of road . Last but not least was the big block Chevy powered unit that ran bad enough to make the cat. Converter glow red lose what little power it did have !
I'd try Ryder uhaul has really gone down the toilet !

I already commute like 500 miles per week, so I'd probably just drive it... but I'd take my time getting there, and keep a ton of spare parts around just in case.

Also keep in mind, despite what they say, it will get there when it gets there. First--there may be a day or two as they wait til another car is going to be shipped from your current general area, TO that general area you need it delivered, and/or another day or two at the end as they unload other cars in the nearest big metro area.... so if you ship it, build in 2-3 days extra from whatever they say the delivery date would be. ...JMO, from experience with cross country moving, and cross country car delivery...

It should be fine. I drove my 4 cylinder Yj that had 5.5" suspension and 1" Bl on 35's 4.88's and a bunch of armor 2000 miles when I moved to TX. And it was loaded down with a bunch of my stuff including pulling a trailer.

I looked into Uhaul, way too much money to use them. Im thinking driving it might just be my best bet at this point
