It's supposed to start raining here tomorrow afternoon. I think it's supposed to stop on Sunday morning

I have their 44 inch cabinet and it's surprisingly well-built. The sheet steel where the wheels on the rolling chest are mounted bends easily.

We've got a flash flood watch on now because of heavy rains to the north of us (Platte City, St Joe, that area). It's supposed to start raining off and on starting about 2 pm this afternoon through Saturday morning. I've got an appointment Friday afternoon to have the Z tinted.....

Was just chatting with a virtual assistant online. Even when I was done the damn thing kept chatting. I told it to shut up but it always had to get the last word in

I will say it is the smaller mobile chest that I'm typically looking at that I find it hard to justify the value. Their larger chests are definitely made a little better with a better value. I remember watching a YT video a few years back of a guy that reinforced the mounting area for the casters that looked pretty easy to DIY.

I really need a 44 inch chest but I'm trying to avoid buying one. I don't have room in the garage just yet - I need to install some of these damn car parts that are taking up all my room

lol the wheels can go in the living room

Actually they'll probably go into storage until I need new tires on the Lexus. In the meantime I'm going to try and trade the rear wheels for front wheels so I can run a square set on the Lexus

I replied to you on the FS thread:

Hold off on sending it until I get the shipping cost for everything, so you dont have to keep PP'ing.
