Not a spot of grease, beer cans or burger bags, nice! Why don't you have a lid or topper?Yea really,i think its so weird how many comments/compliments i get for my shitty lil' truck packed with tools
I custom build a much lesser, but custom sized bed slide from 2x, plywood, casters, screws, from Home Depot for $150 in material. Slides out 5' until the "stop" stops it.
I was fully prepared to do something like this but since I had the money I decided the manufactured one was a better investment - weather proof materials, better more reliable construction, lighter when not loaded, rated tie down locations, and more professional looking.
If you ever come out out east you should look me up and i'll put some jobs together for us. I live near the Smoky Mountains in the highest elevated city east of the Mississippi at 4100 feet. We call it the Eastern Yosemite. We have the 2 largest sheer granite big walls in the East (Laurel Knob and Whiteside Mountain). Anyway, most of my work focuses on the art of view pruning...Hahaha you noticed! Lol,they call it the diva zone cause i don't allow anyone else's leaky shit in der! I don't know,my dad always had a shell and made me get all the shit towards the cab for him,pita and few lumps on me head...
I got lucky, drove to New Jersey and picked one up for 350 and installed myself, like new
and the guy I bought it from, his son made that tree video of his uncle tree climber that won some film festival. I don't remember what its called, but small world.
A good long term investment.
Highlands, NC. Headwaters to the Chattooga; 60 miles south of Asheville; 130 miles north of Atlanta; 10 miles up the hill from where N. Carolina, S. Carolina and Georgia meet!
Gonna be camping at lake Glenville this weekend!
Nice, give me a call if you want to do something funner. You work in Aville? Who with?
Well..., I don't think any of Bavaria's finest really says "Treeworker" when you see them. So I bought an older Jeep Cherokee. Folded the rear seat flat, built a shelf system that puts all the chainsaws below the windows and completely out of sight, with just the various gear bags up top. I know where everything is and what's in there, but I've had several people look thru the window and say "What a pile of CRAP you've got in here!" Exactly the the way I want it - unless you're a tree guy, it just looks like a Jeep full of junk.
That's what I'm talken 'bout! Where do you put the dog?
Believe it or not, when I take one of them with me, they just hop up in with the gear bags on top of the shelf! Then they usually walk forward and stand on the center arm rest for a better view.
