Glad you got the go-ahead, mate.
Have you seen his front yard? He always keeps some trash on reserve so he will have an excuse to do a dump run...What amazes me is that after all the dump runs you have made hauling yard waste, there's still stuff growing in your yard !!!!
Darn it! I knew I should have blacked out my plate number, well ... as long as you know where I live, pass by anytime and add to the pile - livin' the dream baby!Have you seen his front yard? He always keeps some trash on reserve so he will have an excuse to do a dump run...
thats awesome! ive thought about doing that as a rack will not fit in my garage. any other pics you can share on how its attached and fits? thanks
I call this the "hasty RTT". Borrowed a friends tent. Don't have the crossbar setup yet so I used 4 ratchet straps to secure it in the bed and setup it sideways to normal config. Worked great.
Spent the weekend in Joshua Tree. Thankfully not too hot yet.
I didn't take any pictures underneath, It's already off my truck. The bottom side of the tent is just an extruded aluminum frame so I I looped the straps around the cross member and to the corner tie down points. Formed an X on each side if that makes sense. It was solid. I think it helps that his style tent is only 90#. I probably wouldn't mess with something much heavier.
LOL, it never ends!What amazes me is that after all the dump runs you have made hauling yard waste, there's still stuff growing in your yard !!!!
Simple solution......LOL, it never ends!
And it surprises me too since it's only 8,000 square feet! But 60 or so English Yews (aka, the poisoner's hedgerow) planted in 1955 and never trimmed have grown so large that at about 20 feet up they start to bend back down and hit the ground when loaded with snow (probably 35' in total length). They make a great mosquito haven too. =(
Each yew makes multiple trunks with multiple branches. They grow so think that lower branches die from the shading of branches above. Just clearing out all the dead branches took two summers. Casual weekend working speed and hand sawn (too thick to get in with a chainsaw and just as fast by hand as with the chainsaw).
Soupie has helped speed up this process because I did use my Scion a few times, but I typically cut up the small stuff for Lawn & Leaf bags and then bundled branches for curbside pickup. But that was so much work to make everything less than 4' long and in 12" tied bundles.
I probably have 3 or 4 more dump runs worth to finally be done with it this summer. =)
the dump burrito unwrapped! =D
getting near the end of the trimming with some entire trunks now being removed
thumbs up! or my phone cam doesn't work so well with leather gloves =D

Just so we’re clear, you’re talking about your truck and not Dave, right?Ranger today? Missed it.
On the road this week. Got a Expedition rental. (Always try to grab a blue oval.) While nice, it ain't my Tremor.
At one point today passed a white Ranger Tremor. Really really made me miss my baby.
“ let me tell you story about a man named Jeb”Darn it! I knew I should have blacked out my plate number, well ... as long as you know where I live, pass by anytime and add to the pile - livin' the dream baby!
if the tires don't pop, ya still got payload left! and ... what bed rake?!? =p
Wellll Dogies, it's Jed not Jeb !!!!
Yes!Just so we’re clear, you’re talking about your truck and not Dave, right?
"My baby" definitely refers to the beautiful blue Ranger sitting at the airport missing me.
