Default Re: Miller Special Tools for Crossfire

Today was a 600 mile road trip - in the Jeep Commander - to pick up the tool case and contents.

I drove up to Ambler PA and found the dealership - a small dealer - out of business and lots of stuff staged out for sale and pick up.

I brought the pictures of the tool set (each drawer was shown in the auction listing) and confirmed that indeed everything there when the item was listed was still there. The measured size of the item 41 x 27 x 18 proved right and the set was a press fit in the back of the Commander.

Now getting it up there might have been a bit tough except it occured to me to just lay it down on a couple 2x4's on top of the floor hoist right there in the shop at the dealership, raise the hoist level with the floor of the inside of the Commander, and slide the tool chest into the back. We did take off the wheels of the case but that was easy and the whole thing slide right in.

With the heavy-duty tow package we have, the load was no big deal and even with five of us in the first two rows, we were good to go.

This had to be one of the best deals I ever stumbled on. So if there are any doubters out there, take my word - it's real! Now I just have to figure out how to get it OUT of the Commander.... Don't have a floor hoist at home...
