At discount at least.

Are you talking about the bed toolbox?

I keep a chain and whatever straps and my shearing gear in there and a tool kit.
Yup bed box. We've always called them a crossbed. To each his own.

Time to tow the skid loader. Haven't towed anything yet with the stage 2's. I hope the trans is up to the task!

All I can say is I'm impressed towing with the new power. Still had to baby it from a dead stop, I didn't want to put too much stress in the trans. However, start rolling and the power is right there when you want it! I did have to keep an eye on EGT's though, she gets hot!

Has anyone heard this one.....

A burglar breaks into a house and begins gathering up stereo, tv, etc....As he is doing this he hears a voice say "Jesus is watching you". The burglar spins around shining his flashlight and doesn't see anyone there, so he continues on with what he was doing. Again he hears the voice say "Jesus is watching you". The burglar says "Who is that! Who's there!" The voice says "Moses". The burglar shines his light in the direction the voice came from and saw that it was a large parrot in a cage over in the corner. The burglar says "What kind of people would name a parrot Moses?" The parrot says "The same kind of people that name a Rottweiler Jesus"

Empty she will knock on 35 psi. Although I've only done that once. Fully loaded with trailer and skid steer (about 10k) I was keeping it around 20-25 psi due to EGT's. I really need to get this intercooler installed.

I hate banks.

it's all about them, and never about you.

Try to make a desposit to get my account legit again and it closes my account.

Call to get it fixed, the say it closed today and I have to wait 5 days for processing.

Bull*@(#$&*&#(@*&(*&#@$(*&

Wasted 40 dollars and 3-4 hours of my time to make a deposit cause you have ATM's nowhere, and your gonna close my ****?

One of the best banking moves I have ever made (and it was totally accidental) was to open an account with a small, locally owned credit union. They actually give a rip about you as a customer and they're the easiest people I have ever worked with on anything. The last couple times I have done business with them, I have called them on the phone and told them what I wanted and they have taken care of it over the phone without me even having to go in there. They actually offered one day when they were really busy to take care of something for me and mail me the paperwork (just a receipt) so I didn't have to wait in the lobby (and I was the only one there). I still have a big bank carry my checking account because they have branch locations and ATM's everywhere, but I do everything I can through the Credit Union now. It really is a totally different kind of experience from working with some big banking chain.

Makes ya feel like #?*!
Dont give a _____
and a whole lotta other choice words I cant say!

lol
Sorry for the grief. My job direct deposits my check into my account...
I have two accounts with two big banks.
My second one is purely for their savings account interest.
A free savings act that you can remove funds freely with no charge that gets .30% interest! (currently...it changes. When i first got it a few years ago it was at .7% which was higher than CDs offered at the time.)

But yes credit unions are amazing with customer service. Since I have like 0 credit history other than my discover card (i use cash for like...everything). I plan on using them to take out a small loan to do some things here n there.. and pay it back. Just for the point of having some credit history.
I was thinking about doing that to fund the truck build... and since i should have the cash to cover the loan they should give me a really good interest rate cuz its like a 0 risk for them! lol

I travel to much. So I went with BOA to try and take advantage of lots of ATM's and access everywhere.

Been stuck to many times with a check and no way to cash it.
