    You’re all right Charlie. You ever make it out to Colorado, we will have to go tear up some trails.

    You mean in your Jeep, right? Somehow, I don't think I'd get my deposit back if I rented a Wrangler and took it rock crawling!

    I'm sad to say that I have not actually been to Colorado since 1996, and it was only to drive through it when we were moving from Pennsylvania to California :(

    This picture was taken by a friend back in May 2017...


    I was leaving work (still worked at Puck at the time), and this guy with a Great Dane happened to be walking by; Everybody who knows me knows that I am the biggest dog person in the world...

    I stopped the truck and got out to pet the Great Dane; My friend, who lives in the 2nd floor apartment across the street, happened to catch the encounter...

    She took a picture with her phone and texted it to me!

    I used to use single 2x6's in those pockets but found that 2x4's doubled up fit much better.

    You should have them on your truck too, its so you can haul 4x8 sheets of plywood or drywall.

    Are those boards permanent or easily removable?

    Well when I build things I purposely try to make it so I can take it back apart with minimal damage or hassle but hoping I never have any reason to take it back down.

    Do you have to put the tailgate down since you've got a DCSB?

    This is that thing that fits in the hitch, works great on things longer than 10 feet.

    No, that one belongs to the guy that owned this house prior to me, he has an auto lift inside and another lift on the outside of that place.

    Still working at it, once I get in the mood to tear up my hallway and get it squared away then I will have the furnace guy over.
