What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[HoosierDaddy]

After 30 years you deserve a new box. My buddy has Harbor Freight and swears by it.

I replaced my vintage Craftsman with that (but Orange) in January. Built like a tank. MUCH sturdier than the Crafstman it replaced.

BTW, my vintage Crafstmans are up for sale ($0) in the Southwest forum.

Over here, most newer homes garages are carpeted ...using marine grade nylon.. costs us$700 to get it installed for a typical double garage.

What do you do for the dirty snow and ice accumulation? Or is that only for sunny states.

good lord I'm jealous. It would take me a month of Sundays to get that organized. Right now, most of tools are in my "go bag". One of my boys bought me a 20" tool bag I call my go bag. When my younger was in away at college, he called with a problem with his truck. I threw a bunch of tools in the bag and that's pretty much where they've stayed. Seems like I'm always having to load up a bunch of misc tools to go somewhere and fix something, so I just keep most of them in the bag. It's a huge PITA, but when I need them, I just grab the bag.

I have these on mine. They are so close in color and texture that taking a picture of them is virtually pointless as you cannot see them.

+1 on the go bag.

I keep one in my mustang. Essential tools including a 2 way radio (For cruises), a GOOD tire pressure gauge and a set of work gloves. Super handy especially on track days or towing to the track.

Well its a lot easier to stay organized when no longer wrenching for a son who was racing. Plus, those pictures are before a single one of those was used after putting them in there. Don't ask for current pics. LoL

Mine has a variety of screwdrivers, pliers, sockets and ratchets, wrenches, hammers and misc parts toosed in. It weighs about 40 pounds.

Lots of new Steeda parts arrived today.

Ultralight Jacking rails and Extreme G Trac K Brace installed. jacking rails took about 15 minutes but the K-brace was not quite as easy as it didn't align very well and was a little tricky to get installed. I think if it aligned perfectly like the video it would have taken about 15-20 minutes tops. Lightly tested out the brace afterwards and it made a huge difference in the feel of the steering.

This weekend will start the rear IRS subframe alignment and bushing support kit as well as a new X-pipe and progressive sport lowering springs.
It's been 3.5 years on just a tune and CAI ... had to get the suspension and exhaust started... time to get busy!

Installed license plate bracket. Almost got killed (and the car almost got buggered up!).

Was on the ground working a Stow-N-Show install when this happened:

The front of the car was right where the top box is. I was laying on the black mat with my head toward the tool boxes. As I was installing I could hear some *tink* - *tink* - *tink* sounds. I thought it was just my ears acting up and was not really paying too much attention. Then I heard the first of the drawers sliding out as the bottom box started to collapse! Now mind you, the car is inches away from the tool boxes. I managed to swing around and grab the bottom box in a bear hug and used my face to keep the top box from slipping all the way off the bottom and having it all crash onto me and the car!

So there I am, a lap full of heavy tools, my face pressed up against the top box trying to keep it from crashing, and no one for miles. Even if anyone was around to hear, the actual act of screaming would have sent it all crashing down. Oy! It took a good 15 minutes for me to get things stabilized. It was hairy to say the least! I was able to finagle the old floor lamp in place to sort of prop everything up. I also used a big box that has a new rag top in it (that I want to sell BTW, fits a 2014) to shore things up.

After I stabilized things I was then able to quickly jump in the car an pull it out of the way. As I pulled away it all came skittering down! You can see the top box was a bit tweaked, the bottom roller is trash. (You can also see the big box from the top in this shot.)

Post mortem showed the front wheels just folded over. Everything was tight. The drawers were all closed. The sheet metal on the bottom just gave out. That was the *tink* sound I was hearing.

Who would have thought a license plate bracket install would be so scary!

Man your very lucky that could have gone double sideways in a hurry.

I blame the chinesium metal the toolbox was made from!

Im in New Zealand... In saying that we do get snow but not every year. We get plenty of rain in Winter and dripping water off the cars just sits on the surface and evaporates.

• It is extremely durable and withstands wheel and foot traffic
• Provides great thermal and acoustic insulation for the garage and reduces cold drafts from the garage into the home
• Easy to clean – as simple as running the vacuum cleaner over it
• It is waterproof so doesn’t smell or rot
• Reduces dust and dirt tracking into the home from the garage
• Non-slip making it safer than concrete of tiles when wet
