Hopefully it will withstand the abuse it will receive. Jon

Not from me. I use my equipment hard, but seldom, if ever, abuse it.

I should have said hard use, not abuse. Abuse in the sense of hanging on a truck going down the road. You have too much invested in equipment to abuse it. Jon

Out on the road. Cruises 55-60 no problem. New front tires & wheels made a nice difference in handling. Only going 45 here, but even at 60, pretty good road manners.

Ran up to 55+ again. Really runs strong.

Finally finished 4’ Buyers heavy duty tool box. Pretty much dark when I finished. Will get some better pictures soon.

We’re itchin to start working it.

Better picture

Lots of space
Trying to figure out what to carry on this side, knowing another smaller toolbox is going on the other side. I’d like to probably go with chains & other “dirty” stuff on the other side.

Me, too!
Love that saw!
Probably 1st week of January we will be doing some more sawin’

I have 3 jobs lined up for the truck. 2 are dirt/stone hauling and the other is the piles of wood chunks left from the huge storm clean-up.
