Well, they take more space than they provide, but what they provide is convenient as heck. I don't haul bulk items much, mostly bags that can ride easily on top, or lumber (HA!). I'll get some pics when I stash the "normal" load, and see how it looks. Oh, I picked up one of each of their big (cooler!) and small (tool box) bins.

 

I'm debating right now if i want to go with the decked system or build out my own custom drawer style box. Or maybe just do a bed rug like Mark. I like this idea as well.

 

didn't see your edit!

 

Oh yeah! Just throwing it out there! I have first dibs if you decide to part ways! ;-)

 

@05prerun82 Brandon made a really nice box bed for himself. Much less $$ than a new Decked for sure, probably a little less than what I paid used. Making your own will give you more space, because you don't lose the space needed for the structural molding. I think it really depends on what you carry - like delivering a potted Sago Palm just got a lot more challenging!

 

Oh dang! I forgot to tell you! That big ole saiga palm kicked the bucket during the hard freeze (as well as our fruit trees and various other plants). Sucks because we were able to get the palm to finally sit back upright!

 

Well, crap! I saved its off spring by getting it in the garage. Now about half the size of the original. We lost a lot of pots too, even with the greenhouse.

 

Hell, with wood prices right now, i'm not to eager to start projects at the moment.

 

Yeah, as soon as I sent that......

 

The damn thing was to awkward to move. Especially with the spikes hitting u in the face! I just covered it up to late. Which was my fault!

 

I have a two wheel cart.

 

I'm mainly happy that my olive tree survived. Its weird because it didnt seem bothered by the freeze at all. Its a little over 6ft now. I'm hoping it will bear fruit soon.

 

Yeah, Having a dolly would have made sense for that.

 

Btw.. I have the kb bedrack for sale if your interested. I bought a shell that should arrive at the end of this month.

Begining of August i have my regear appt! :-D

 

Good Morning Gents

 

Happy Tuesday gang

 

Morning Kevin

Morning Mark - back to work, or week off?

Good Morning SA! Again....it can stop now, but it won't until tomorrow. Grass will be long and thick by Friday - too wet for a second cut this week. Oh well, still have a list to work on.

 

Week off.

Been taking most of the night abs we have a good rain right now.

OK, Luke @DanishTaco - got to playing around with emptying the trouble bag and Ez-Up stuff into the Decked. A few things went into the little corner ammo boxes, and no pics for that. And when I measured the Ez-Up, versus drawer length - it did NOT know (or accomodate) the inset of the drawer handle molding. I had to punt. Also, a folded up Ez-Up is NOT as flexible on the legs as one might think, once you try to stuff it inside. So, the Ez-Up fits a narrow drawer, FEET FIRST. And didn't allow for my sand bags at all.




So, the first run on the wide drawer - small DBox tool box at the back; jump/charger, one big rescue strap, rain poncho; Big D-Box (empty, because I bought it to be a ice box!); bungies. Bottom pic, cooler DBox goes to garage, and sand bags go there.




Would you have more room, with homemade ? YES. At present, it would cost at or a little more than what my used Deck cost. This will work for me, as I have emptied stuff out of the cab as well. Still feels good with this as a load.
