Flags and trucks go together like nothing else. And while it is certainly a match made in heaven, figuring out how to fly it on your truck without the need of drilling may be a bit of a head scratcher, unless you read my post, that is. Using a 2×4 If your truck has those…
A surfboard is a fragile piece of fun – taking care of it when going from one body of water to another one is crucial. Having said that, ironically, you might have thought, “Is there a way to transport my board in the back of a truck? I don’t want to get a rack just…
Absolutely! You just have to pick the right mounting solution. I assume that you’d want to have the winch as close to the cab as possible, therefore most of the methods will focus on this placement. Mount options Bed side mount The best way to install a winch, I think, is by getting a mount…
Secure from what exactly? Securing can mean preventing the cooler from moving around the bed during motion, or from actual theft. I assume what concerns you the most in this blog post is reducing the possibility of theft, so I’ll begin with that. How to deter cooler theft You can lock a cooler to a…
Flatbed advantages Easy to load Because a flatbed doesn’t have any bed sides like a traditional bed would, it is much easier to load stuff on to, as well as unload. Forklift, tractor, you name it, if the pickup can handle the payload, the flatbed will certainly “take” it better. With a winch it’s even…
Putting your bicycle on its side inside your truck bed is a great method to move it from place to place. Sure it doesn’t look too elegant, but it gets the job done. As far as if it does any real damage to your bike, this is rather false, based on my knowledge. Sure it…
It is a great idea. A topper covered with carpet is going to provide some insulation from heat and cold, though the most important benefit, I think, is less condensation. This is particularly important if you’re going to be sleeping down there. With just bare fiberglass, water will collect everywhere and get on you. If…
Why not? It will add some sauce to the truck, like better performance when climbing hills, accelerating from the start. Will such a mod increase the towing capacity though? Nope. While a supercharger does increase the pickup truck’s horsepower and torque, this is not just what let’s a truck pull more weight. Trucks that can…
A tonneau cover allows you to do things you couldn’t do with an open bed – keep the stuff under there safe (at least to some extent) and dry. But in other ways, it makes things which were a lot easier to do before now harder, and in the case of this blog post, it…
Finding a way to hang a hammock when you’re out and about can be tricky (normally because of lack of suitable trees), so the thought of using the pickup truck you came in there with to somehow fully support the thing, or at least hang one end off comes into many owners’ minds.
