At least you did not get a signed box. When I was at JB Hunt, Snap on came out with the Dale Earnhardt box. It was a couple thousand more than the same box with a signed insert in the lid

My back is feeling much better today, still taking the day off of work to give it a break.
My bottom tool box is that big. It's nice having the room to organize all my tools. The only thing I could use is some bigger metric impact sockets, but I would probibly never use them again when I fully retire. Guess my son will inherit some nice tools one day.
The wife had been saying now and then we should have bought the suburban we were looking at when we bought the 4 runner last year. There wasn't enough room to get horse food and groceries at the same time. There was a suburban that was for sale in town for the past 3 weeks. I stopped and looked at it last week and bought it on Friday and drove it home. She is almost never outside when I get home but she was then. She had the most confused look on her face till I jumped out and said Merry Christmas! Once I got it cleaned up some she loves it and doesn't drive the 4 runner now.

Today was my birthday and the wife made me a great dinner and we had cake and ice cream!
I spent most of the day with a back brace on laying around and ice pack on my lower back. Getting better but I just have to be careful how I turn and bend. Not a constant throbbing pain anymore. I want to get better so I can drop the fuel tank on the 79 this weekend.
Just for the record I did look for a Ford Excursion but there was nothing that was in my price range.

I wore my back brace all day and took it nice and slow and my back is doing so much better!! Usually every night this time I am in bad pain but not tonight!!! I think I am finally getting over it once and for all.
Planning on dropping the tank on the 79 this weekend since it my back is doing better.

only thing id add to this box is a hutch or enclosure on the top. I have a big roller I use around the shop, this will be used for big and specialty tools.
I would never do that, those are insane expensive and overpriced. This box would have been double on strap on truck. Tools from snap are good, matco is also good, milwaukee for electric, and my IR and CP for air and other brands of specialty ish

It also helped that my mom worked for a tool distributor in Atlanta and I got her discount
