South Carolina BS thread under new MANAGEMENT and lives in SC

Let's see what yall suggest......got a new van set up. I need a guard for the door edge to prevent damage from reeling hoses in. Whatchu got for ideas (since most of yall are into protecting your assets).

 

XPEL makes some good stuff

$18 Xpel Extra Wide Door Edge Guard 1/2" x 12', Clear -R2023EW

derp it no dont do that







If it were mine, I would want some sort of guide rod that deploys from inside / stowed, to outside when you open the door, or manually. something like a roller on a stick. Not sure where to get something like that though. I would think any coating you apply to the door edge would get worn away very quickly.

not necessarily these below, but this idea, modified to suit your needs

edit...Need to remove the operator error from the equation. It needs to be idiot-proof. If it is too difficult / pita to deploy, they will not do it and trash your truck (unless the driver has a vested interest in the truck)

 

Are you looking for a solution that you can get commercially or something more along the lines of DIY? Initially, I was thinking something along the lines of 2 to 3 ft of black iron pipe with a floor flush fitting mounted to the door sill encapsulated with a larger diameter PVC pipe that acts as a roller to keep the hose stood off from the door frame. Or you could do something along the lines of one of these and build a standoff from the side of the door.

pool noodle with a slit so it fits over the edge of the door.

 

Gonna be posting my wheels up if any of you guys are interested.

I used to carry a 28' ladder like that when I did cable work. It was heavy at first, but got used to it. I couldn't imagine not carrying it on my shoulder, really.

 

Just saw a dinosaur riding on trailer.

 

2900lbs of flooring.

 

I just remember more:

Sun Drop or Cheerwine ... you had either of those yet?

 

And mayo

 

Pimento cheese burgers, shrimp and grits

 

I mean do they really sell anything other than dukes at the grocery store in the south?

 

Love cheerwine. I am sure I have had sun drop in the past but don’t remember having it.
