Dodge and Ford has a similar color, first thing popped into my head, power Company truck. Awkward color unless you spent your life on the high seas.

But it did! Most of the video was 90° off. I have a similar toolbox. Mine isn't chock full of metal tools and I've never felt the need to weigh it, but 10K lbs?

That's what I would be doing too. It looks like I'll be acquiring/inheriting a gooseneck flatbed trailer (dual axle, capable of dual wheels at each position). If I keep it (doubtful) I would be putting in a receiver tube to mount my 9500 lb cradle mounted winch.

Welcome back Steve!

I'm not following your thinking here Rodney........if the 2020 sits 2" lower in back, and his trailer is level now he should gain that 2" back in bedrail clearance. Yes the bed depth will be the same, but it should allow the pinbox to be dropped. Right?

Steve why can't you turn tight? Will the pinbox hit the bed rail because it sits too low in the bed?

I would not even want to weigh, or move my toolbox full anymore. It's a heavy pig. Beautiful weekend here! More yard work, cut down another tree, had to top it 14' up, was a pretty wild ride when it let go! Replaced the jack on the dump trailer. Of course the original jack foot was rusted on bad. Beat on it for a while and finally just cut the bottom of the jack off. Can actually lift it off the truck without a fight now, huge improvement! Have a good week guys!

Many pinboxes, like mine, are in a fixed position and can not be adjusted up or down in the wings Scott. I'm not sure about Steve's...

On inspiration of Roy getting the DeWalt grease gun, I helped the economy and bought a Milwaukee. I already have several other M18 Fuel products so this made sense. Seems to be well made and is a bit hefty. Once I get mowing in the summer my flail mowers get greased twice a day, plus a ton of other grease fittings on my other equipment.

Tim, you'll love that 1/2 inch impact. I have one as well, although I believe mine is the "earlier" generation rated for a few less lb-ft than the current gen. It still is a beast and I worked the snot out of it last season.

That's a nice looking grease gun. That would be handy when greasing my Polaris Ranger 900. Lots of zerk fittings there that can be interesting to get to.

I'm waiting for my 18v Dewalt drill to die before I move up to a 20v or higher system. A 60v chainsaw would be nice to have as I use a chainsaw maybe twice a year.

Nice, it's on my wish list but honestly hard to justify for me. Not that justification always stops me.
