We put red duct tape on all of our large stuff, load bars etc. We starting this when a shipper accused us of stealing load bars off his dock. We pointed out to him that his bars were too big for our truck but he was still mad. Ever since we mark everything. As to the hand tools we have not...

We are not yet sure on the total weight, it can change a bit during the mounting process. I will post the figures when it is complete. I have a Holland Lift gate and it will remain on the truck. That was part of the engineering problem. The box has to be built around the lift gate and since few...

LOL, Slacker is right!!! Other than the lack of income I have enjoyed EVERY minute of it too!!! It has taken a long time but we wanted to insure that the work was done right the first time. We did not want to have to keep going out of service to fix stuff that was not specked right etc. We think...

It is not No-Fault in Michigan it is My Fault. No matter what happens you just say My Fault and you pay for it. Gotta love it!!! Layoutshooter

Moose, it is a '22ft box. Overall height should be around 13'2". We will get an exact height once the box is on. It is a reefer, with 4" of insulation all around. It is specked for extreme TVAL operation. I wish I had a bigger reefer it would have then allowed for less insulation. I have a...

Yes, the seals are better on Morgan. It is a reefer box. I went with Morgan for a couple of reasons. They seem, at least in theory, to build a better box than Alumi-Junk does. The place that is doing the body work is a Morgan dealer and they are used to working on Morgan boxes. They have a good...

LOL, Yea Leo, he was forced to leave for work. He has not had much lately. The sorry thing was it was canceled and they forgot to tell him. Chrysler does not always remember thier consultants. Sure wish he had been in that pic, even if we could only get the "Tree" he killed!!! Layoutshooter

I am a VERY lucky man to have him for so long. Take a look at these. My deer was small but I took it JUST so I could have this picture. I did take a second one last week, a huge doe. It was number 15 off my friends place. Layoutshooter

I seem to remember back in my college antropology classes that those who we now call "Native Americans" "displaced" a few Viking settelments in what is now New England. Those settlements pre-dated all or most of the "Native" settlements in those areas. Not that any of this matters. What's done...

I could have had it shipped here but it would have cost more than me going there. Slower too. I don't know where else they do them. I am going to where they are building the box. With any luck it will be done in one day. Layoutshooter

The time with Dad was worth more than almost anything. Still might have one more chance to take him out later this week. Hope all is going well with the house. It would have to be more of a pain than this is. Layoutshooter

I sure hope we do too!!!!!!!!! We could all use the work. If we don't I do have a lot of meat in the freezer so we won't starve to death. I am not looking forward to the drive to Wis without a box on the truck. It should be a blast. No weight on the drives, maybe ice and snow and bouncing around...

Forever and ever. Who did the "Native Americans" displace when they emigrated to this part of the world? I thought I was a native American, I was born in Detroit. How much more native can you get? I really did enjoy fighting fires with the Seminole crews in Florida. Those guys were REALLY good...

We got some good news for a change on our new cargo box. The old one was damaged beyond repair in Baton Rouge by hurricane Gustav. We have be fooling around with this since. After many problems and fits and starts we now have a mount date of 22 December at Morgan in Wisconson. It is a 2 day...

Yea right, just U.S. Department of Labor stats, not mine. Crappy cars? I have NEVER had one yet that I did not put AT LEAST 150,000 miles on. My 1990 Chevy pick-up had 294,856 miles on it and it STILL had the original engine and tranny. Your very freedom came from Detroit, the Arsenal of...

God Bless you for putting your Son first, that is what GOOD parents do. I thank your son for his service. Layoutshooter

This country OWES the Big Three a HUGH debt. People forget that without them we would have LOST WW2. People forget that the auto industry and related suppliers employ almost 1 in 10 workers. People forget that AFTER 9/11, when the economy was on the brink, the Big 3 stepped up with 0% auto loans...
