well, seeing as my brother lives in a 3rd floor shared appt, and i live at home with mom, we have nowhere to store stuff cept for in his jeep or mine. so his jeep is basically a rolling fullsize tool box.

 

(his front diff actually froze up on the road one night and he stopped at his work and had everything required to do remove the inner axleshafts on him. though he did ruin a workshirt :roll: )

 

and i pack all the extra shafts and such from storage, and tires and such large items in my truck.

 

we usually have everything, short of an engine lift. and kitchen sink.

We would have BBW's working there dressed in the same outfits as HOOTERS!!
