You have heard of the old miser who hordes all his worldly possessions in his house. The inventor of the storage box must have been a miser's brother. There are those of us who need the stability of something that can house everything and keep it in its place. Whether it be the house, office, garage or vehicle, storage containers are a must for the person who needs to be able to find something when they need it without going through a big pile of unmarked items, sometimes called the needle in the haystack syndrome. If you find yourself relating to the miser or his brother, there is hope for you.

A truck for a contractor is like a horse for a cowboy. Just like the horse has to be comfortable, fast, look good and be your best friend so should a truck be comfortable, fast, pleasing to the eye and be your best friend. In the old days, the saddle bag held everything a cowboy could possibly need. It had a place for his grub, his bedroll for the night and his canteen to make sure he was always hydrated on the long trip. Today's cowboy just needs his 4×4 wheel base with leather seats, CD player, pounding base speakers and the addition of an up to date, storage box that fits perfectly in the back and houses everything from the tools he needs for work to his overnight bag and drink cooler.

The greatest thing about my Jeep Cherokee is that I often feel like it transports me, not just physically but emotionally, to someplace I would rather be. Commuting to and from work in a major metropolitan area, I'm often stuck in traffic - in fact much more than I'd rather be. Luckily, with this vehicle I have a better view of the road, other cars and trucks than if I had been driving a sedan.

If you have ever driven trucks without bed liners then you have probably experienced skid row. Skid row is in the bed of the truck and is the place where everything moves forward to the tailgate and then returns to the head of the truck bed every time you use the brakes. Heaven forbid you should have to stop quickly, because the sound of cargo hitting the metal sides of the truck bed is excruciating. You can count the dings and dents in your truck without even looking at the situation.
