A shop forum maybe?

Lonesome7.3 · 03-31-2009, 02:29 AM

This is just a thought, but what do you all think of a shop forum being added? If you love trucks, I am sure working on them is part of the deal. There are a lot of knowledgeable people here who could share that knowledge. Shop set up, tools, work area, equipment, and so on can be discussed and ideas can be shared. I am trying to get the tools and equipment I need for a respectable work area for when I get home. Searching for this information is not as easy as some would have you believe. So I thought it might be cool to have a dedicated forum on the subject. Thoughts?

I tried that. I would rather have the tools.

i'll make the suggestion, but i believe it would fall in the general truck section or you could create a group section for it.

If there are enough posts the admin with consider it, but I haven't seen to much for tool/shop type threads. Although you can always start, existing posts have more of an effect on the final decision.
