Mike, situations change. If you are bringing a trailer just to bring my trailer box, leave it behind. No one can predict murphy or tough times. No harm, no foul.

Any idea what you are looking for Robert. If you post up sizes we might be able to collect up some of the stuff you desire. Harbor Freight has some bolt and nut assortments. They are low grade but would seemingly be fine for door panels and interior work. You really need to walk a Harbor...
