I think I'll check with my neighbor to see if he wants me to take his mower in as well.

I have a tool box I will give you. I am sick of storing it

!
I will send you a pic when I can remember. It isnt huge. Something 3'X3'X3'. It is certainly of good quality. It does have one hole that needs to be closed or not. The hole is probably big enough to drop a golf ball in. The box is white and will need to be painted to match. It is not a truck bed tool box, but more of an over the road truck tool box.

It would hold a lot of straps, boomers and tie downs

Probably big enough to run the battery cables through...

Gary could bank some agm or gel cells (anything sealed) in there and run his winch all day long.

Brandon? BRANDON? You exist?

Borrow my trailer? When you have a nice one with new lights, wires, and bearings? With only 2k miles on them?

Anyway, send me a pic of the tool box, but I'm knee-deep in projects, so it may be a while before I can get to it. Thanks!

Re: Gary's Trailer Quest

If you remember the trailer discussion when I was describing how I ordered mine. I opted to not go with the dovetail . I didnt want to sacrifice the payload space since it wasnt intended for car hauling. Well when you look at something that sits as low as a vette does it presents a problem with loading and unloading. I believe the grade will be too steep to keep from ripping off ground effects. We have kicked around a few ideas as to how to avoid it. we can probably make it happen, but this is the only time I have ever wished it had the dovetail.

I remember the discussion. And for what I'm doing the dovetail isn't a problem as it only lowers the rear of the vehicle a very few inches.
