Hi ..... I want to thank all the responses I received on my post awhile back asking for opinions on whether to buy a gas or diesel Ram 2500 truck. It was very a tough decision to make. In the end we decided to buy new vs. used... Only $3K to $5K difference between used & new once we figured in...

I have a Forward 4 post 9000 LB lift....& had the company (small mom & pop company) deliver & set up for me... it was a little spendier than some models but very good quality. I really like it. I went with the 9000 LB so that I could lift 4x4 pickups, my skidloader or small tractors. I also...

Same here. I have several large boxes in my shop & a "carry box". I use the carry box to work on cars or retrieve parts out in the country. I probably have more tools in my "carrying box" than most people have in their garages. I really need to get a larger carry box as I've out grown this one...

NEVER have a big enough box OR enough tools!!!!!
