Tacomas doing work

At work yesterday, temporary repair on a fence/berm vandals tore down to access an off-limits site (to spray paint, shoot and burn garbage, etc). I LOVE this truck.

 

Compost!

 

Post hurricane clean up

 

Its certainly not heavy duty work, but I've been offering up my truck as transport duty to haul left over food from one of my clients to various non-profits in the area.

 

I love all of the Kodiak signs.

 

Thanks. My neighbor use to work for them and has boxes of those signs. He said I could take all I want. Here's a few more.

 

Awesome! how did you get that little side job?

 

I dipped Red Seal for the last 8 years back when I use to dip. Started losing teeth so I gave it up 11 years ago this next August. Still have 6 teeth left. Wish I could win some money in the lottery so I could could at least buy a lower set of implants. Miss eating Sunflower seeds and nuts.

 

Post icestorm cleanup. Had to trim branches from about 20 pine trees. Finally got around this weekend to gather and chip them.

 

A few random doing work pics, strangely I don't take many when I'm doing this kind of stuff! I take plenty of other pics of everything else though lol... hauled several loads of rock for my yard I scavenged from my the property of a friend... he had some excavators dump huge piles of dirt from a construction job nearby onto his property. Dug through and got some big rocks.... and like 5 unpictured loads of fill dirt.

The house I bought last year was fully furnished with disgusting furniture and abandoned property from renters, I did like 10 trips to the dump with my tiny little utility trailer and the bed fully loaded. If you look closely you can see some of the carpet I ripped out that was covered in dog piss from the renters. So gross! Don't worry, I strapped the whole load down before I went down the road...

 

I know this is a 3rd gen thread, but looks like some 2nd gens are playing along. This isn't the half of it...

Picking up my bumper:


Picking up a 24' extension ladder:


Getting a load of gravel:




Pulling out bushes:


A load of paver sand:


A pallet of river rock:


A load of topsoil:


Fence boards:


TVs:


16' moving trailer. This was by far the heaviest thing I've towed and I'm guessing was near the 6500# max towing capacity. Not something I intend to do again.



I have more, but these are the ones that came up with I searched "truck" in my Google Photos account.

 

Six sixty inch TVs? Can I have one?

 

Unfortunately, I didn't even get one of them. Those were for the NOC at the company where I worked at the time. They wouldn't even sell me one after the company closed permanently.

 

Our sales guy has a lot of non-profit and charity contacts. He found a food distro warehouse that has been throwing away pallets of food that had stop orders placed on it, and they were looking for something better to do with it. He mentioned a need for a truck, I mentioned I'd be willing, and we started doing good things.

 

Hauling crap to dump

 

Buddy snapped a pic of me while driving . Very unsafe on his part but there it is .
