    Hey TW. Saw this taco flying down the freeway here in Sacramento. Never seen an exterior cage/ladder rack/big game hunter blind on a truck. Is this guy part of our group? Would love to hear what it is used for.t1.jpg t2.jpg t3.jpg

    All I'm going to say is, with the price of carbon steel that's about $1000 in metal that could be used for something else.

    I know people who work on movie sets have something similar. Usually for stunt and camera work.
