Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

Just got notice at least from my corporate team that AT&T outage is fixed now so everyone can resume watching YouTube on the toilet.

♫ Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime... ♫

 

Can't argue with that, though I prefer to crap at home.

 

When I was in HS I never used the bathrooms. Period. Never. Would rather have shit myself than go in there. Kids today go in and skip class. Hang out in the funk and stench for long periods of time. Together. Not right this younger group... Just not right.

 

Pat, I've used these for work and been pretty satisfied with how they hold up. They have a gasket and lockable latches, and have been fairly weathertight. They spent a decent amount of time riding around in the back of my last work truck, and held up to the elements well. I'd definitely buy again

I would go to a hallway bathroom that I didn't need to be near and uh.... Claim it.

 

Implementing Japanese squatters into the workplace would increase productivity.

 

@pearing I just remembered the display cases I got from my job last year. Definitely not waterproof and have a weird way of opening. They also have a bunch of shipping labels I've been meaning to scrape off. But might work for what you need.


I can't for the life of me figure out what to put in them. Dont have a roof rack yet

Let me know and I'm sure we can figure out the logistics.

 

Based on how much of a mess people make with existing bathrooms, I can only imagine what that would be like.

 

As I said in my previous post...

 

I have a story about a truck stop in Italy...

 

Those are interesting. Big enough too. Worried that they are not water tight. This will live on the back of the flatbed, I am trying to cut out the dust and water mess I got with my last system. Does the cover come with them too? Are they plastic?

 

Maybe look at Alubox. They are aluminum and pricey. Seen a few people using them here

 

I'd give this one a shot but it's kind of ugly and should be stored out of view.
The wheel well boxes don't look too shabby.
A little useless for @pearing.
Tailing off @CygnusX191 "get 2"....
2-25 gallon swingouts would be cool.
Easy access to totes and spare.

 

I'm sitting on the toilet waiting to read your story.

 

When I was in HS I would not enter the bathrooms cause they all stunk to hi heavens from all the cigarettes smoked in there!

 

It would definitely require some modification to make it water and dust proof. The part where it separates could probably be waterproofed with some weather stripping? It would make opening and closing tougher. I would worry more about the small door on the side too. It's nice for quick access but leaves a lot of space for water to get in. It's plastic but extruded to have bumpers. Looks like it can take some hits.....and definitely already has.

The cover was a banner with velcro on the top and bottom to wrap around and make it into a display table. They didn't include that but the base and top to make it into a table are still with them. The velcro on those is worn out now but should be easy to replace.

I teased that our printing wiz @Pixeltim could whip something up for TW events. Then we can use it as a check in table/mini bar Someone already mentioned building @Thatbassguy a Hemingway field bar which is admittedly way nicer. We have options.


Here are some more pictures.

 

That reminds me, I need to finish that bar!

 

In prepping for the Arkansas trip (@pearing we need to come up with a better name here than "the Arkansas trip." I submit TWArkansas 2024 for consideration...) I've been experimenting with some solutions for secure gear/supplies storage in the bed of my truck. I had some nice 3/4" Baltic birch cabinet grade plywood left over from a project and my truck deserves the best, of course, so I've been slicing it up and putting it together in a couple configurations with some fancy toggle clamps and such to make it modular and quickly removable when needed.

Here is the current setup from earlier tonight. I didn't want to have to make any new holes in my truck bed, so I'm relying on existing stock anchor points. I'm not terribly happy with the cam lock strap attached to the D-ring tie down at the back of the bed but I'm struggling to find a better way to secure it there. Open to ideas...





Had a spare bottle opener in the shop, so...

 

Not sure how you have the tail gate end secured, but the second pic I would put the strap over the top of the corner,
betters the angle on the d-ring but also keeps it from bouncing.

 

That's a good idea to try! Will check it out tomorrow.
