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 definitely holds true to fishing rods.
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.
Let’s be honest here – not everybody in this world has the luxury of a garage, let alone one you can store your beloved truck’s cap in.
So if you want to be able to take the thing off, how do you store it if all you have is the back yard? Well, if you’re up for a “little” DIY, the answer is really not that complicated.
A camper shell creates a safer and drier place for all your stuff in the back of a truck; with one, you can even go camping if you wish, the possibilities are numerous.
Having said that, will putting one on your pickup make the thing use more fuel? I mean, it makes sense that it would as it does weight quite a bit.
Plowing looks like one of those things that can ruin a truck.
Digging into snow and then pushing it into large banks… now that requires some give.
