    Stick it in the bumper and drill from there! Then you're guaranteed to line it up.

    Anyone got advice for a good toolset, preferably in a case/box? I've got a few bit sets and some random sockets/wrenches, but nothing organized or complete. I'm looking more towards a "buy once, cry once" sort of thing, but not anything commercial grade. I'm more of a weekend warrior type on the truck and need something that'll work for that. Craftsman? Harbor Freight and return stuff as it breaks (yeah, opposite of BOCO, but still...)? Something on Amazon would be preferred, since I have some gift card $$ there.

    To be honest, I barely broke any of the Harbot freight stuff.

    I would buy one of their toolboxes and then fill it with what you need. Served me well so far and didn't break the bank too bad.

    SnapOn and whatnot is not really necessary for weekend wrenching.....

    I've been happy with my Craftsman toolset for about 15yrs now.

    Something like this would get you started: https://www.amazon.com/Craftsman-Me...1483126221&sr=8-1&keywords=craftsman+tool+set

    Happy New Year from SPI, made it about 20 miles from the end of the road. Was a great drive.

    Stay safe on the roads tonight!

    Also, @ChadsPride the reason they road so shit was because they were damn near 60psi. They're at 38 now and compared to the even smaller MTRs it's like driving on pillows with a gentle sea breeze in the background.
