I have been chasing this tool set for a while - finally cornered one in a dealership that's closing.

There's nothing like being able to reach to "the" special tool listed in the Factory Service Manual. As I work on my cars, this is going to be handy.

Cost me less than a small Craftsman set! Timing is everything! - Update - I added pictures of all drawers in a later message below

If so, Great Deal!

 

Yep I saw that on ebay.

The seller would only do local pick-up (no delviery) so someone was bound to get a whale of a deal, congrats!

Now if he will only find my Crossfire cigar humidor in his accessories dept

 

Ppro, I didn't get your home address, what was it again?

 

THATS BAD ***!
So come on lets see some of those bad boys, what kinda stuff Huh?

 

Or do I just look gullible.......

 

Those labels shure do look nice and clean For a mechanic

 

That would be through the first gate, up the road a piece, through the second gate onto the peninsula (sort of a modern moat), throught the third gate (the house with the dobbies in the drive all night) and past the perimeter system. You can't miss it. Smile for the camera! We'll be waiting for you!

 

I just wanted to know where to go to get my car fixed, since you probably now have more Crossfire tools than most Chrysler dealers.
On the positive side, I hope you never need to use them.

 

You know, I bet there will be a fair number of these sets popping up. I have been tracking them for quite a while but the selling prices have always been kind of crazy (well, cheaper than new but still really out there).

Wish me luck getting them home in my Jeep Commander Overland... Should be interesting getting it up into the vehicle... Even more interesting getting them out when I get home...

 

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...

 

I updated my write up with pictures after cleaning up the set. It was easy to get out of the Commander with some 2x4 ramps and some thinking.

Here's better pictures of what's inside - nearly complete! Update 11/21/08 - Managed to find the missing tools - pictures updated.

Ppro, you are now an official Crossfire Tech !
How many members now feel that, since he has the tools, we need to travel to Ppro's Garage (trademark pending) for all of our repairs?

 

Not having wrenched on mine yet (electronics installs don't count...) you're more likely to leave with a lift kit and Super Swampers installed than get real Crossfire services. Either that or get some sort of Volvo mod... I probably have enough Jeep and Volvo experience to almost rate being called a tech for those...

I'm hoping I don't need these tools too much but for the price of half the tool chest, how could anybody go wrong? I'm still stunned!

 

One more thing...

I scanned the Crossfire Tool Locator sheets and put them into a text-searchable PDF file. Here's the images - click any image and the PDF file will be available on my site - the password should be easy to figure out....
