Well, here's a pic of my big Christmas present... all assembled and loaded up.

I was amazed that I filled it with tools, and still had stuff left over. After I emptied toolbags and cardboard boxes, I found tools I forgot I had. Ya know, sometimes you can never find the set of vice-grips or something. I discovered four pair! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Oh, and Sears has these little magnetic labels for the front of your tool cabinets. What a great stocking stuffer!

In you're shoes, you're probably lucky to have a garage at all!

Nice box.

True... I am fortunate. I pay 65 dollars per month to rent that garage. I've agreed that I won't turn it into a paintbooth or anything. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif)

P.S. Can I still count on you for the 15th?

That is the one I wanted to get. Sears has teh whole combo on sale for $399.00. That is a great deal. I may still do it if I get this other job. I like the blue too rather than the traditional red like my Snap-on box.

Original factory manuals even!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/drooley.gif)

Same box I have at the shop, (except mine is the boring ole red) but I added a "spacer" so I have a little workspace between the bottom box & the top 2. Step stool definately required! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

It's lookin good. My last road trip in the XJ spotlighted some issues. Got some AT tires to replace the mudders. Should decrease the highway road noise significantly. I need to have the drive shaft rebalanced though. I think it threw a weight. Also going to replace the poly engine mounts with softer compound.

When I moved to texas, I picked up a Stainless Steel Tool chest from Costco. What a great investment. I actually can find the tools I'm looking for. I do need to label the front.

Bite me, you two. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

They're magnetic labels that got shifted around quite a bit during the tool reorganization. One drawer would get overfilled, so we'd need to swap all that stuff over.

These labels might be a bit AR, but they're SO much better than Dymo labels, and they came with some blanks so I can define my own groups.

-Lawrence

P.S. Sounds good, Gint. Hey, you know anyone looking for a low mileage 1998 YJ?
